Kewaunee officials explore outdoor recreation plan

You and your family could have new parks, trails, and other facilities in Kewaunee if the city executes its five-year outdoor recreation plan.

Cedar Corporation did the behind-the-scenes work to create the nearly 80-page document that includes an analysis of its current facilities and a look ahead to what could be added.

According to Cedar Corporation’s findings, about half of the 242 respondents said they were disappointed or somewhat disappointed with the city’s park and recreation system, with the study citing lack of maintenance as the most common concern. Cedar Corporation made several recommendations for the town to address as a part of its five-year parks plan, including establishing three new neighborhood parks, expanding its trail system, and creating other new options like an off-leash dog park and a splash pad. For its current facilities, the consultants pointed to the city’s harbor master plan for some of the other recommended improvements, such as sidewalk and path connections, an ADA kayak launch at Father Marquette Memorial Park, and more seating.
