Kiwanis Club Donates for Playground at Kiwanis Park

The Allouez-Greater Green Bay chapter of the Kiwanis Club donated $4532 to the Village for playground equipment at Allouez Kiwanis Park.  This donation allowed the Village to add a multi-person Unity Hoopla Swing to the newly installed playground this fall.
 
"This was a great addition to the new playground at Kiwanis Park that was not in our budget to purchase.  the Village is very grateful and appreciative of the Kiwanis Club as well as other service groups and individuals that help make the community a better place to live," stated Chris Clark, the Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry.  "We hope to continue to work with the Kiwanis Club in the upcoming years on future projects that will benefit the community."
 
The new playground equipment at Kiwanis Park was a Parks Department capital project in 2016 to replace the 25 year old equipment that was beyond its lifespan and was showing a lot of wear.  The Village of Allouez has twelve village parks, Heritage Hill State Park, St. Francis County Park, and various recreation trails for all to enjoy.

Fox River Trail Will Be Open For the Winter in Allouez


 
The Village of Allouez is excited to announce that it has come to an agreement with Brown County to remove the snow from the Fox River State Recreational Trail within the village boundaries beginning this winter.  "This is a very exciting announcement for winter outdoor enthusiasts in Allouez and Green Bay.  Based on the input from Allouez residents at community listening sessions, the village board and staff have worked over the last year with county and state officials to make this happen.  We look forward to keeping this great trail open for year round enjoyment." said Chris Clark, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry for the Village of Allouez.
The trail will be open for recreational purposes such as walking, jogging, and bicycling during normal open hours.  A state trail pass is required for all people age 16 or older, who enjoy the Fox River Trail for biking, horseback riding, and in-line skating. A state trail pass is not required for walking, jogging or hiking. Trail users should be aware that surface irregularities and slippery conditions may exist during the winter due to the presence of some snow and ice. 
In addition, the Allouez Trail Connection trail between Heritage Hill State Park and Highway 172 west of Webster Avenue will be open during the winter.  For those outdoor winter recreation enthusiasts that prefer cross country skiing or snow shoeing, check out the Resch Family East River Trail between Green Isle Park and Wiese Park, weather permitting.
For more information on the Fox River State Recreational Trail please visit the Brown County Parks Department website at Brown County Parks. For more information on the Allouez Parks Department, please visit Allouez Parks.
