Thornapple Parks & Recreation Commission

The Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission (TAPRC) was established in 2000 by the TK schools, the Village of Middleville and Thornapple Township.  The TAPRC focus is to provide area youth, adults and families the opportunity to learn and grow through the enjoyment of parks and participation in recreational activities. Funding for the TAPRC comes from annual contributions from the Village, Township, and TK Schools, the Barry County United Way as well as registration fees and local sponsorships.  TAPRC employs a part-time Program Director and depends primarily on VOLUNTEER coaches, parents, United Way Day of Caring volunteers, and community support to provide quality recreational opportunities.
