Hudson Park Board November 4, 2026 LIVE

The Hudson Park Board met on November 4, 2026, to review park revenues, user fees, capital projects, and seasonal operations. Staff reported approximately $151,836 in 2026 park revenue across mooring, boat launch, and pavilion reservations, with pavilion revenue up from about $18,000 in 2025 to $33,000 in 2026. The board approved the park user fees with no changes; staff clarified that the non-Wisconsin resident daily boat-launch fee is $19.50, as required by state rates. Meeting minutes were also approved, with no corrections reported.

For 2027, staff outlined several capital projects, including $50,000 for Anderson Park playground improvements, with possible tennis-court work if bids leave funds available; shade structures, picnic tables, and benches at White Camp Park; and playground installation at Bouchet Park. Staff plans to combine Anderson and White Camp work in a bid package to seek economies of scale; no bids or contracts were awarded at this meeting. Other discussion included winterization, possible future winter use of park facilities, and potential fencing at the splash pad. Staff reported splash-pad water costs of about $8,000 for the season; its installation had cost approximately $400,000. No procurement action was taken on these future possibilities.
