2016 Projects
2016 is planned to be a very progressive year for the Park and Recreation Department. We have a number of projects that are scheduled to take place over the next year. The following are a few of the projects and short description of what we are planning:
- CORP Update – The City completed a Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan in 2010. This plan in critical for the future park planning along with meeting the needs of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources which is a potential funding source on various projects. In 2016 we are updating this plan so stay tuned for future public input sessions on the plan.
- Van Riper Park Playground – The playground located next to the Omni Center is heavily used and the current structure has reached the end of its time. Plans are currently under way to remove the old equipment and replace it with a new structure.
- Great River Landing – after many years of discussion plans are in place to start work at the Great River Landing. This area will definitely add a new destination within the City of Onalaska.
- Omni Center Roof Repair – the iconic blue roof at the Omni Center will see a face lift this summer. With the considerable amount of leaks on the lower portion of the roof, plans are in place to overlay the lower portion of the Omni Center roof.
- Pickleball Courts – with the emergence of the sport of Pickleball, the City is planning to make changes to the Thomas Farm Park by removing its tennis courts and replacing them with Pickleball Courts. If you are unsure what Pickleball is, I would challenge you to research it or go out and try it.
If you have any questions on any of these projects or would like more information please give us a call at 608-781-9560.
