Parks Board Will Discuss Sponsorships at Park Arthur

The Muskego Park and Recreation Board will meet at 5:30 p.m. at and the following items are on the agenda:

A discussion of potential sponsorship with the Muskego Warriors at Park Arthur to assist in the construction of the baseball fields underscores the department's interest in working with other community partners in developing its parks. The largest field at Park Arthur has drawn great interest from various leagues and clubs due to its regulation size, outfield fencing and lighting.

Parks Director Craig Anderson will also update efforts to monitor the goose population at Idle Isle. Lake residents are asked permission to allow for egg oiling on their properties to manage the population of the flocks that many feel have overtaken the park.

Gerald Boisits recently announced his resignation from the parks board, and a new citizen member was recently appointed at a common council meeting in late March. Boisits felt his representation of Michael Dilworth, who owned property that may eventually become a city park, would provide a conflict of interest. This will be Paul Peardon's first meeting since that appointment.

Peardon is also a Board Member of the Muskego Athletic Association and Muskego Warriors Youth Football program, and serves as Vice-president of the Muskego Storm Select Baseball Program.

The will receive a 20’ flag pole and concrete bench from a donor, with details to come at the meeting.
 
In the director's report, the Summer Program Guide will be distributed, outlining some of the department's most popular programs, including Movies in the Park, Safety City and daily playground groups.

In addition, as the warm weather arrived and stayed, Anderson will review the early season’s park operations throughout the city.

The board will meet in the main level Alderman's room and the public is welcome to attend.
