With highly rated schools and proximity to Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan, Spring Lake, Michigan, has emerged as a desirable community for families. Spring Lake Public Schools consistently field competitive athletic programs, but student athletes and the marching band faced limitations. Inclement weather disrupted year-round practice, and the football stadium’s off-site location created scheduling and transportation challenges.
The Laker Athletic Center is designed to meet these needs while maximizing the community’s investment in expanded indoor programming and enhancing performance. The facility provides premiere, on-campus training space for students, athletes and performing arts programs.
