The Village of Allouez
Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department would like to invite you to check
out some winter recreational activities that we have to offer here in
Allouez. The ice skating rink at Green
Isle Park, 2500 Greene Avenue, is open and available for ice skating. The warming shelter and restrooms are open from
3 to 8 pm Monday through Friday and 1 to 8 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Skaters may use the rink at other times
during open park hours as well.
The sledding hill at PH Martin
Webster Park, 2111 Jourdain Lane, is also open.
The hill is located between the old shelter building and the tennis
courts, is unsupervised, open to all, and free. Sledding opportunities are
during daylight hours only and as long as there is snow on the hill. Although sledding is fun, due to its nature
sledding is at your own risk and the Village of Allouez assumes no liability
for possible injuries or damage to equipment.
We would also like to
encourage winter enthusiasts to check out the groomed cross country ski trails
along the Resch Family East River Trail.
The Department has groomed several trails and loops from Green Isle Park
to Wiese Park. We are hoping to maintain
the groomed trails this winter as long as we have adequate snow pack to
accommodate the grooming equipment. For
other users of the trail and parks, please respect the groomed trails and use
proper winter trail etiquette. Please do
not walk in the ski tracks as boot holes and dog footprints ruin the trail for
skiing. Walk and snowshoe on the walking
trail or next to the ski trail. Also,
for the pet owners, please remember to pick up after your pet and dispose to
the feces properly.
And finally, for those that still want to walk, run, and bike
during the winter, our trails are still open.
There are three trails in the Village that are plowed for recreational
purposes. There is a plowed trail loop
in Green Isle Park from the park entrance area to the tennis courts. In addition the new Allouez Trail Connection
along Highway 172 from Webster Avenue to the Fox River Trail is open. And lastly, the Fox River Trail from Green
Bay through Allouez and DePere is open. Please
remember that snow and ice may be present on these recreational trails and
trail users assume some risk of use due to the nature of snow and ice surfaces
being slippery.
Remember to have fun and please send us your pictures enjoying
the wonderful Allouez parks this winter!
