Welcome to the Recreation Department!

The Recreation Department is responsible for the growth and development of our parks, as well as the coordination of all leisure, recreational, and sports activities for youth, teens, adults, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens. Your Recreation Millage Dollars At Work!

Hamtramck Recreation Department is funded by a 10-year voter approved millage that is up for renewal this year. For about $0.40 cents per day, collected via property taxes, funds are used for pool operations, and to provide free and low cost community programs, events, park improvements, and recreational activities for Hamtramck’s youth, adults, and seniors.
