Commission is being asked, on the consent agenda, to lock in a small Lakeside park as a charter park.
Meurer Court is already on the city’s park list — about an acre and a half on a quiet street off Morton, not a beach. A charter park (the extra protection the city added to the charter in 1998) is park land that is supposed to stay a park. Selling it later would take a vote of Muskegon residents, the same idea that already covers places like Kruse and Hartshorn.
Vote: Yes or NO
The packet has a resolution and a map. This vote is about the legal label, not a playground plan.
If they say yes, the neighborhood keeps a protected pocket of green. What it becomes — shade trees, a sitting area, a place for kids to run — is a later conversation. The designation is what stops it from quietly turning into a lot for sale.
Packet: September 22, 2026 agenda packet
