They coordinate activities with the Palmer Athletic Association and coordinate the use of various athletic fields throughout the township.
In Palmer Township there are approximately 525 acres of land (8.7% of the total land in the Township) that is publicly owned. Of that approximately 380 acres are maintained by the Township in a mowed condition and most have some form of athletic facilities. There are currently twelve parks and four tot lots in the Township. As identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the Township will be encouraging added open space as development continues. The majority of this space would be left in a natural state.
