The {{convert|125|acre|adj=on}} Sandra Richardson Park has [[association football|soccer]] fields leased to the Saline Area Soccer Association, three walking trails, a {{convert|32|by|40|ft|m|adj=on}} picnic pavilion north of the park's parking lot, a sheltered picnic table, the historic Judd Road Bridge, two bridges crossing wet areas of the trails, a shelter [[gazebo]] located at the intersection of the three trails, and [[portable toilet]]s. A {{convert|1.4|mi|adj=on}} walking trail opened in 2002, while a second trail opened in 2003. Boy Scout [[Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle]] projects led to the installation of the picnic tables and bridges. In 2004 the York Township Parks and Recreation Community applied for a grant from the Michigan National Resources Trust Fund. The grant was awarded in 2005. The township used the grant funds and local match funds to build the pavilion and surface several park trails to make them compliant with the [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990]]. The township also installed a handicapped parking pad near the pavilion, built the gazebo, and installed portable toilets. The township reseeded {{convert|5|acre|ha}} of [[prairie]] with native grasses and wildflowers. The township re-installed the Judd Road Bridge. A boardwalk was built from a Boy Scout Eagle project. In 2005 the State of Michigan gave an additional {{convert|10|acre|ha}} of land to the park.<ref name="Yorkparks"/>

The {{convert|38|acre|adj=on}} Mary McCann Park consists of an open field and a wooded area, each taking about half of the park grounds. The park includes a {{convert|1|mi|adj=on}} walking/nature trail built in 2003 and a trail extension carved by a Boy Scout from [[Saline, Michigan|Saline]]. Another Boy Scout built an open field and a pond. A teaching station for 30 students overlooks the field and pond.<ref name="Yorkparks"/>
