If the Sturgeon Bay city council agrees, the site of the proposed city skatepark will be moving, but not very far. The council will be asked to approve the park location in the southeast corner of the westside field property, near the corner of Madison Avenue & West Spruce Street. In February of 2011, a citizens group approached park & recreation superintendent Bob Bordeau with the idea of building a skatepark in the city. On May 25th, of 2011, the park & recreation committee & board approved placing the park on the southwest corner of the property outside of the softball field. But since then, the skate park initiative has asked for a change in location. The group has already engaged a firm to develop plans & oversee construction of the place for skaters & others to enjoy. A fundraising campaign is also in the plans.
