Parks Committee 4-15-2026

The City of Green Bay Parks Committee held a meeting on April 15, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on revenue generation and capital improvements at Bay Beach Amusement Park. The committee considered and approved a proposal to designate 69 premier parking stalls near the park entrance with a $7 daily fee, aiming to create a new revenue stream to fund park operations and infrastructure improvements without raising ticket or concession prices. The parking fee program will be a one-year trial, with enforcement managed by the city's parking division and revenues earmarked for general park development. Additionally, the committee approved naming rights for the new train depot at the park, funded primarily by a major donor, with the naming rights granted in perpetuity. Other agenda items included approval of a utility easement for electric service at Beaver Dam Park and adoption of a resolution supporting World Migratory Bird Day. The meeting concluded with updates on park maintenance and seasonal staffing.
