Welcome to the Parks & Recreation page for the City of Burton. We hope you will watch the calendar for events. We have five parks in the City of Burton currently with another one proposed in our five-year plan.
Water Tower Park is located on Bristol Road next door to the water tower and Fire Station #1. It is a small playground park. It has a playscape, drinking fountain, and picnic tables. This park is geared toward toddler/pre-school age children.
Fireman’s Park is located at Lapeer & Belsay Roads next to Fire Station #2. This park also has a playscape with picnic tables, benches and a pavilion.
Veteran’s Memorial Park is located on Manor Drive just east of the police station, it has a pavilion, picnic tables and drinking fountain.
Kelly Lake Park is located off Lapeer Road west of Genesee Road. Many people enjoy this park for walking, nature watching, and fishing. It has a sledding hill for winter enjoyment. There is also a fishing dock, pavilions, boat launch and beach.
Settlement Park located off Thread Creek Boulevard is under development. This park is located along Thread Creek.
