Recreation Complex
The township park, located at the Davison Township
Municipal Center, 1280 N. Irish Rd., was developed with the
idea to inspire and memorialize our veterans. The park was
built with donations from area businesses and individuals
in conjunction with the Township Board. The Hank Graff
Gazebo is the perfect spot for weddings, graduation
pictures or a quiet place to enjoy the beautiful gardens,
walkways and seating areas. The gazebo is available to rent
for your special occasion.
D
The Davison Area Environmental Team in conjunction
with area volunteers and community businesses provided
an off-leash dog park for the community to let their dogs
exercise and play in a controlled environment under the
supervision of their owner. The park is located adjacent to
the Black Creek Nature Trail at 1285 N. Gale Road on three
acres of property, between Davison Road and Court Street,
just south of the railroad tracks. It is the first of its kind in
Genesee County with a small dog area and an all dog area.
There are fire hydrant watering stations, a dog bone walk,
pavilions and a dog house entry way—sure to thrill your
furry friend. The pavilions are supplied with electricity and
can be rented.
obert Williams Nature
R
& Historical Learning
Center
This 100-acre park is located at 10069 Atherton Rd., just
west of State Rd. The original parcel was donated to Davison
Township by Robert and Jill Williams to be used for the
enrichment of the Davison community to preserve nature,
history and provide educational opportunities for residents.
The Williams site houses a number of buildings. On Williams
Parkway, the first building on the left is designated for
programs in environmental science. The Davison Township
Historical Museum is the next building on the right and
houses many artifacts from early families and businesses
that helped to grow the Davison area. The North House at
the end of the parkway houses Department of Parks and
Recreation events, and outdoor education programs. (See
DTParks.com for upcoming programs) This building is also
available to rent for parties and special events.
The non-motorized trail system consists of 1.26 miles of
beautiful limestone trails that traverse the hilly terrain
and allow you to enjoy its amazing beauty. Look for future
trail development, a pedestrian bridge and other new
enhancements.

E Kitchen School
Kitchen School, located at Bristol Road and M-15
in Davison Township, was named for Silas Kitchen
one of the area’s first residents. The building is
dated to circa 1860.
From its beginning, Kitchen School operated under
the Rate Bill System for its funding. This system
which was authorized by the state legislature
in 1839 allowed district children fees or rates
in proportion to the number of students and the
number of days they attend school.
The building has been restored by the Davison
Township Board of Trustees and many volunteers.
Davison Area Historical Society was given
stewardship of the building in 2007. It is currently
used for field trips, meetings, and special events.
Visitors to the school can experience what a
school day was like in the early half of the 20th
century with an old fashioned school bell, wooden
desks and slates for math and English lessons.

The Black Creek Nature Trail is a paved, non-motorized
trail that begins at the Davison Township Municipal
Center on 1280 N. Irish Road and runs east along the
Black Creek to join the Abernathy Park Trail in the City of
Davison. The trail is an ongoing project with sidewalks
being added that will connect the township to the City of
Davison at various points around the Davison area.
Parking is also available in Abernathy Park and at the
newest connection on Gale Road. Many residents and
visitors have already taken advantage of these trails
which connect the township and city. The trail is open

Raising Monarch
Butterflies
Our North American monarchs are facing population decline
and they need our help to protect them, so come and learn
how to raise your own! It takes only 4 weeks for a monarch
to grow from an egg to a lovely butterfly. You’ll learn to
identify eggs, caterpillars and milkweed (its only food
source). We’ll look for caterpillars or you’ll be able to take
some home (if available) so please bring a 1lb. clear deli
container with lid (or something similar) to take yours and
watch it transform to an amazing graceful monarch.

Foraging Classes
Introduction to
Mushrooms
Many people don’t know where to start when learning to
identify mushrooms. Michigan has over 3000 species of
mushrooms, but it’s not necessary to learn all of them to
forage safely. This class will introduce you to the major
characteristics to look for when identifying mushrooms.
We will spend time in the woods looking for mushrooms,
then come indoors for a lecture and to practice ID. (Class
Maximum is 15 people).

additional ingredients supplied by the instructor, we will
prepare a beverage, main dish, 2 sides, a condiment, and

woods. Bring your own cup, fork, and plate for sampling
