Parks Committee 7-15-2026

The City of Green Bay Parks Committee held a meeting on July 15, 2026, where they approved the Badger Park master plan aimed at revitalizing the aging park with new amenities such as an expanded soccer field, a new shelter, a bike skills course, and improved access via a recently constructed parking lot. The committee emphasized that approval of the master plan does not commit to immediate development but sets the framework for future funding and implementation. Additionally, the committee approved acceptance of a federal American Rescue Plan grant of approximately $389,710 to continue the Green Bay Conservation Corps program through 2027, noting it is a more secure three-year funding cycle compared to previous state grants. Both motions passed unanimously. Other agenda items, including a $1.5 million donation agreement, were deferred to a future meeting. The committee also discussed ongoing summer programs and parking lot usage reports, with all approved items scheduled for council consideration on July 21, 2026.
