I have been the Town Board liason to the Park Commission the past four years. The Commission is constantly looking for ways to improve green space in Grand Chute. Today, we will tour a little known piece of park property and discuss ways to improve the park. It is known as Art Lecker Wilderness Park. It is located at the end of Gillett St., north of Hwy JJ. The park consists of 42.2 acres of undeveloped land that was the location of the Town's landfill operation. Possible uses for the property that are listed in the Park, Trail, Open Space and Recreation Plan are an archery range or a dog park. Other possible uses that have been discussed at recent Park Commission meetings are a mountain bike trail or a cross country ski/walking trail system.
The Park Commission will discuss future plans for this park at tonight's Parks Commission meeting.
