Lakewood Park in Tecumseh, the Essex-Amherstburg Greenway and five local legions will benefit from $1 million in federal funding.
The money is coming from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
The program is expected to improve and preserve community spaces across southern Ontario, with the aim of giving back to Canadians and creating a lasting legacy as Canada prepares to celebrate the150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.
Officials say it will boost economic activity through infrastructure investments, build community-based partnerships and modernize existing community facilities.
The contributions are contingent on the execution of contribution agreements with recipients.
