LOOP THE LITTLE LAKE TRESTLE PROJECT Eileen McCoy, The Loop Lower Little Lake Butte Des Morts initiative includes two new trestle bridges to close the Lower Little Lake Butte Des Morts loop. It is anticipated the trestle project will cost just over $3 million and will be funded with a combination of grants, fundraising, and partnership from the municipalities. Future Neenah will serve as the fundraising arm of Navigate Neenah-Menasha, a multiyear, multi-faceted initiative. At the end of 2015, we were over half way to the $1 million fundraising goal. It is anticipated construction of the trestles will take place in 2017. longtime Neenah Parks & Recreation Department Director, has retired after more than 36 years of service to the department and the community. The Neenah Parks and Recreation Staff wishes to thank her for sharing with them her leadership, creativeness, vision, knowledge, and passion for parks and recreation. Donations towards the project can be made at Future Neenah, 135 W. Wisconsin Ave. or online at neenah.org. Questions? Call (920)722-1920. ARROWHEAD PARK SHARE YOUR IDEAS! The land on the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts now known as Arrowhead Park was deeded to the City of Neenah in 1951 and designated for public recreation use in 1975. It has been left undeveloped for decades, but was leased out for various industrial uses. The demolition of the steam plant represents the end of that era. The trail was constructed along the shoreline in 2014, and plans are underway to build two new trestle bridges, completing a trail loop around the Little Lake. The time to develop Arrowhead Park has finally arrived! Tell us what you would like to see or do in Arrowhead Park by visiting arrowhead.ci.neenah.wi.us. 1 PARKS City of Neenah Parks Do you have a favorite park? Because of all the time I spent with my children and now grandchild at Memorial Park that would have to be my favorite. Being a community park there are so many different things you can do there and it is a park that can be used all year; from sledding and ice skating in the winter to soccer, softball and fun runs during the summer and seeing so many people using the trails at any time of the year. MEET THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION The Parks and Recreation Commission is responsible for the supervision and management of all public parks, recreation facilities and activities. The Commission meets on the third Thursday of each month at 4:30 PM. Visit neenahgov.org, for meeting dates & agendas. In your time on the Commission, what have been the most memorable projects or activities? The day the rocket slide was taken out of service was a sad day, for thousands who had used it over the years. I was on the committee that did the fundraising for the new Plexus Rocket Playground and also helped with the playground build. Few people realize that the playground was assembled by volunteers with special help coming from the playground building veterans of the Neenah Rotary. Lee Hillstrom has served on the Parks and Recreation Commission since 2001. What motivates you to volunteer your time as a P & R Commissioner? It is easy to be motivated and want to keep volunteering when you see so many families using our parks and recreational programs. In large part, the quality of life we have in Neenah is related to the parks and recreational programs, which so many use and the physical and mental health that using those facilities and taking part in those programs creates. What do you do for recreation? My wife, Joy, and I enjoy taking long walks, whether it’s just four miles or finding the time and energy to do thirteen miles. We enjoy the fresh air and always notice something new about our great city. 2 CASTLE OAK - 2696 Marathon Ave. COOK - 425 W.N.

The park was originally called Laudan Fields and consisted of 4 acres. The fields take their name from Mr. Laudan, whose property fronted the fields. The area was farmed and used to grow hay into the 1890s. Fields were used for summer softball leagues and high school athletes. During the summer of 1933, most of the property was used as a community garden. In 1947 the city sold part of the fields to the school district for the construction of Wilson Elementary School. The park shelter was originally built in 1965. The 2 acre park has a playground, open-air shelter, paved trail, picnic tables, water bubbler, open space, and a baseball backstop. 4 Neenah Parks & Recreation Dept. has facilities that can accommodate: Check out our website for more facility pictures! www.neenahgov.org Birthday Parties Anniversary Parties Graduation Parties Baby & Bridal Showers Wedding Receptions Family Reunions Company Picnics Meetings and Banquets For more information call 886-6060 Doty Shelter Shattuck Park Whiting Boathouse Memorial Tullar Shelter Riverside Park Pavilion Memorial Appleblossom Large & Small Shelter Washington Recreation Shelter Green Park Shelter RESERVATION INFORMATION: To reserve call 886-6060.

Shattuck and Riverside Fountain Health & Safety Issues The City of Neenah is advising the public that playing in the fountains at Shattuck and Riverside Parks may result in serious injury or illness. Warning signs have been installed informing the public that playing in the fountains is not allowed. MEMORIALS FOR THE LIVING Parks and Recreation play a vital role in building and maintaining the health and well being of the individual, the economy, the environment and the community as a whole. A donation to Parks and Recreation is an investment in quality of life. Planting a tree or installing a Western Cedar memorial bench is a thoughtful and distinctive way to present a memorial to a deceased relative or friend, to honor a person whom you love or respect, or to say thanks to a person or group. That living, growing tree will be a constant reminder of the reason you gave it. The memorial bench with an engraved plaque will enhance the park, offering a resting area for leisure and relaxation. Water in the fountains is not treated and sanitized to the same degree as a swimming pool. The water may contain bacteria, viruses or parasites, such as Cryptosporidium or Giardia, which can cause serious illness. Children are at the greatest risk because they are most likely to play in the fountains, and they most easily spread pathogens due to wearing of diapers, drinking the water and/or hand to mouth behaviors. Please enjoy the sound and beauty of the fountains. Don’t put your children or yourself at risk by playing in the fountains or drinking fountain water. Trees: Various species available. Donation - $150 Memorial Benches with engraved plaque. Donation $1,200 GIVE THESE GIFTS FOR: Memorials, Anniversary, Co-Worker, Retirement, Mother’s Day, Grandchildren, Arbor Day, Special Occasion, Father’s Day, Special Friend, Earth Day. To ensure tree species diversity, the Parks Department has selected given species for different parks throughout the system. Western Cedar memorial benches can also be installed at various parks throughout Neenah. Citizens committed to leading the community in the implementation of sustainable practices and initiatives.

Fee $60 $125 $125 $125 35 Registration Is Easy – Here’s How Registration begins April 6 for City of Neenah Residents and April 20 for Non-Residents SUNSHINE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: The NPRD believes in providing services and programs to CITY OF NEENAH RESIDENTS who wish to participate, regardless of ability to pay. If you would like more information on possible financial assistance, an application can be picked up in our office or printed on our website. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-base basis. FEES: Resident / Non Resident: All registrants will either be a resident of the City of Neenah or a non-resident. Your residency is based on the city/town/village you pay taxes, not necessarily what your mailing address indicates. However, an increased non-resident fee will only be assessed for programs at the Neenah Pool (lessons and season passes) or when renting a facility. RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT: Residents of the City of Appleton, City of Menasha and City of Neenah will pay the resident fee for all programs and facility rentals in each city. Please Note: This does not change the status of residency during registration dates. A City of Menasha / Appleton Resident is still considered a non-resident during the City of Neenah Resident Registration. REFUNDS: Full refunds are made if NPRD cancels a program. All other cancellations must be done by contacting NPRD at 886-6060 at least 48 hours before a program begins. A $5.00 service charge, per transaction, is applied to anyone who wishes for a check or credit card reimbursement (we do not refund in cash) OR 100% of the class fee can be applied to your household to be used towards any other activities at a later time. ACCOMODATIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: The NPRD is committed to meeting the needs of persons with permanent disabilities. Appropriate auxiliary aids and services may be provided as necessary, to enable you to fully participate in parks and recreation services, programs and activities. NPRD asks that you register and request accommodations as early as possible to ensure necessary accommodations can be coordinated, preferably a one-week notice. ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY FAMILY WAIVER POLICY: The NPRD admires the sacrifice of military personnel and their dependents and wants to provide the support they need. Our department feels that these families should be able to enjoy the many parks, programs and facilities in our community. Therefore, a program is available to deployed military personnel and their dependents. For information visit www.neenahgov.org - departments – parks & recreation – permits, forms & applications. ACTIVITY CANCELLATIONS: To find out a program has been cancelled due to weather, call our cancellation line 886-6068 or visit our website www.neenahgov.org - departments – Parks & Recreation, or like us no Facebook – Neenah Parks & Recreation. 36 ONE FORM PER HOUSEHOLD (Please Print Clearly) GUARDIAN’S LAST NAME GUARDIAN’S FIRST NAME ADDRESS CITY PHONE (PRIMARY) (SECONDARY) ZIP (EMERGENCY) __________________ EMAIL ADDRESS RESIDENCY: Your residency is based on what city/town you pay taxes to, not necessarily what your mailing address indicates.
