4 Purpose
The City of Antigo Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan is a tool that will be used to assist with the manage ment of the parks and their facilities, community recreation programs, the municipal cemeteries, and urban forestry program.
With the plan as a guide a more systematic approach towards accomplishing our goals and meeting the needs of our community can be achieved. A comprehensive inventory of our parks, programs, current operations and com munity demographics has assisted with building a strong plan for the next five years and beyond. Community feedback guided the major direction of the plan and provided strong impetus for many of the park projects.
Any recommended changes should take into account the overall mission and goals of the larger plan. A formal approval process for any changes or additions is a requirement and is in the best interest of our community. The formal approval process includes commission, board and council approval.
Adoption of this plan by the City of Antigo Common Council and subsequent acceptance by the Wisconsin De partment ofNatural Resources (WisDNR), will continue eligibility ofthe county and its local units of government for the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF), Aids for the Acquisition and Development of Local Parks (ADLP), Urban Green Space Program (UGS) and Urban Rivers Grant Program (URGP). Local government grant applications have a better chance of approval if Langlade County applies on their behalf. (Fred Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012-2016 page/)
Non-profit groups, foundations, and the general public may also use this document to coordinate their own private efforts for developing outdoor recreation facilities. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 1)
We hope to accomplish a number of items over the next five years in the form of facility upgrades, major park im provements and continued collaboration between organizations, groups and individuals.
Our mission and goal is continued progress towards completion of our parks, which promotes our community and serves the broadest public base possible through thoughtful and functional considerations. We will continue to promote cooperation and transparent and open discussion with the public. In addition, another primary goal is to continue with accessibility compliance as well as safety compliance in both our parks and programs.
Statutory Base for This Plan
"This Outdoor Recreation Plan (ORP) was prepared pursuant to Wisconsin Statute §23 .30 Outdoor Recreation Program. This section serves to "promote, encourage, coordinate, and implement a comprehensive long-range plan to acquire, maintain, and develop for public use, those areas of the state best adapted to the development of a com prehensive system of state and local outdoor recreation facilities and services .. ." (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 1)
Submission of this adopted ORP to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources establishes eligibility for the county and local units of government to apply for a variety of Federal and State Aids for outdoor recreation (Chapter NR 50.06(4), Wisconsin administrative code)." (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 1)
5 Reference Plans
Langlade County was involved in recreation planning as early as 1964, when a County Forest Plan developed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) addressed potential recreation facilities with the county forests. In 1974, WDNR developed a plan that focused on county forests and addressed recreation needs within the local municipalities countywide. Langlade County, the City of Antigo, and the Village of White Lake directed North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC) to develop consec utive 5-year outdoor recreation plans starting in 1979. This 2011-20 16 plan was written to continue the parks and recreation program established in the Langlade County Outdoor Recreation Plans since 1979. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3)
Additional plans and laws that affect outdoor recreation in Langlade County are referenced below:
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2005-2010 Completed in August 2006, and reauthorized to remain in effect through 2016, this plan attempts to classify, measure, and ultimately provide for the preferences and needs of a statewide recreating public. Many factors, from changing demographic and land use trends, to recreational supply, and conflict with other recreation uses, affect the quality, supply, and demand for outdoor recreation.
This plan is summarized in Attachment B, and is what the State will use to determine where to approve grants. (Heider, Langlade Counry ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3)
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2011-2016 Projected completion in Winter of 2011, SCORP 2012-2016 is an approved compliment to the 2005-2010 plan. A major goal of the 2011-16 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is to identify essential and contemporary issues that affect the future of outdoor recreation in Wisconsin. This SCORP will build upon President Obama's America's Great Outdoors Initiative for the 21st Century to include appropriate management recommendations that serve as proactive approaches to address critical issues identified in the process. (Heider, Langlade Counry ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3)
This Presidential Initiative has three main goals:
I . Reconnect Americans, especially children, to America's rivers and waterways, landscapes of national significance, ranches, farms and forests, great parks, and coasts and beaches by exploring a variety of efforts.
2. Build upon State, local, private, and tribal priorities for the conservation of land, water, wildlife, his toric, and cultural resources, creating corridors and connectivity across these outdoor spaces, and for en hancing neighborhood parks .... through public private partnerships and locally supported conservation strategies.
3. Use science-based management practices to restore and protect our lands and waters for future generations. (Heider, Langlade Counry ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3)
North Central Wisconsin Regional Bicycle Facilities Network Plan This 2004 document is intended to guide the development of an interconnected bikeway system for the North Central Wisconsin Region. Potential trails are identified and an improvement description was created for each county that trails existed to facilitate how the plan can become reality in a cost efficient manner.
Langlade County trails within this regional plan come from the 1999 Citizen Bike Route Initiative Plan. That plan established a network of on-road bike routes and asks WisDOT to improve STH 64 to accommodate bicy cles between Antigo and Merrill. These trails are shown on Map I. (Heider, Langlade Counry ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3) 6 Complete Streets Law Wisconsin's Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodations law addressing Complete Streets was codified in 2009. It was incorporated as State statute §84.0 I (35) and later into administrative rule as Transportation 75. Com plete Streets are roadways designed and operated to enable safe, convenient, and comfortable access and travel for all users (i .e. creating bike routes/lanes & sidewalks along higher volume streets than residential streets). All roads receiving state or federal funding through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for recon struction must also accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. County forest roads do not apply, because the traf fic counts are very low. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3)
State Trails Network Plan This 200 l document clarifies a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) role and strategy in the provision of all types of trails. The plan identifies a series of potential trail corridors that would link existing trails, public lands, natural features, and communities. This statewide network of interconnected trails would be owned and maintained by municipalities, private entities, and partnerships of the two. Preserving transpor tation corridors, such as old rail lines, is specifically discussed as a very important strategy in the creation of recreational and alternative transportation corridors ... (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3)
Segment 19-Langlade County to Michigan (NCWRPC note: The chance that this trail will become reality is not likely per comments received at the 2-8-2007 public meeting.) (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3 and 4)
Segment 56-Argonne to Shawano (Wolf River State Trail) The part of this segment from Crandon to White Lake was abandoned in 200 l . Argonne is on the Dresser to Michigan corridor in the north, and Shawano links to the Mountain Bay Trail in the south of the corridor. The Crandon to Tomahawk corridor and the White Lake to Antigo corridor link to the Langlade County to Michi gan corridor to form a loop. An old abandoned corridor east of White Lake in the future could link this corri dor to the Nicolet State Trail or connect it to road routes. In Langlade County this segment follows the Wolf River for about seven miles and continues south through the Northwest portion of the Menominee Indian Res ervation, terminating at Shawano and its connection to the Mountain Bay Trail. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3 and 4)
Segment 70-Antigo to White Lake NCWRPC note: The right-of-way does not exist, so this segment is not described. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3 and 4)
Langlade County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan This 2006-2020 document contains the Langlade County Forest Access Plan. Maps for the outdoor recreation plan were created from the data in this plan. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3 and 4)
7 WISconsin Land Legacy Report 2006-2056 This report is a comprehensive inventory of the special places that will be critical to meet future conservation and outdoor recreation needs for the next fifty years. Some of the questions asked to guide creation of this report were: Which lands and waters remain unprotected that will be critical for conserving our plants and animals and their habitats? What gaps exist now (and will likely emerge in the future) in providing abundant and satisfying outdoor recreation? How can we most effectively build upon the state's existing investment in protected lands to fill conservation and recreation gaps? What special places will our children and grandchil dren wish we had protected? The study focused on identifying what of our state or regionally significant green infiastructure remains to be protected.
The Land Legacy report recommends protection of these lands by using federal, state, and local funding op portunities; along with possibly creating new kinds of incentives for landowners, working to draft comprehen sive plans, or offering different types of technical assistance.
Prioritization of Land Legacy Areas is descnbed in SCORP Chapter 3 located in Attachment B.
Each Langlade County Legacy Area is summarized below with 5 stars representing the highest level for that category:

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Introduction
This section describes the physical features that make up Langlade County. This information is essential in deter mining the potential as well as the limitations of an area for recreation development. Recreation planners use this kind of data to determine which resources to develop and which resources to protect or preserve.
Geography and Land Use
Langlade County in northeastern Wisconsin has a total of567,621 acres; ofwhich 55 .6% is forested, 20.7% is used for agriculture, 1.6% is water, 19.2% is wetlands, 1.5% for open space, 1.0% is for transportation (which includes airports and roads), 0.2% for residential, and 0.2% is for commercial and industrial uses. The City of Antigo, the county seat, is in the southern part ofthe County. It is 180 miles north of Milwaukee; 80 miles northwest of Green Bay; 90 miles north of the Fox River Valley; and 35 miles northeast of Wausau. Major metropolitan areas outside of Wisconsin with transportation linkages to Antigo are: Chicago, 270 miles south; Minneapolis-St. Paul, 210 miles west; and Duluth, 235 miles northwest of Antigo. In addition to the City of Antigo, Langlade County con tains the Village of White Lake, and 17 towns.
Climate
Langlade County has a continental climate characterized by cold, snowy winters, warm summer days and cool summer nights. Precipitation is well suited to outdoor activities with an annual snow fall range from 20 to 90+ inches and an annual mean of 51 .9 inches during the past 40 years. June is generally the wettest month and the last part of August the driest. Precipitation averages 30.6 inches annually. The sun shines 65 percent of the time possi ble in summer, and 45 percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the southwest. Average wind speed is highest in spring at 12 miles per hour.
Topography
The topography of Langlade County is of glacial origin, and is characterized mostly by moraines and outwash plains and partly by drumlins, eskers, kames, lake plains, bogs. The moraines include the older drift area in the southwestern part of the county. The outwash plains include the Antigo Flats, which are located in the south central part of Langlade County. Elevations in Langlade County range from 1,070 feet above sea level where the Wolf River leaves the County, to about 1,900 feet above sea level in the Town of Langlade. Slopes are shown on Map I.
The eastern part of the county is within the drainage basin of the Wolf River, and the western part is within the Wisconsin River drainage basin. In Langlade County, the Wolf River starts at Lower Post Lake, flows generally south and east, and leaves the county just south of Markton. The Wolf River drops about 440 feet in the county, but mainly it drops between the communities of Lily and Markton.
(Heider, Lang/ade County ORP Plan 2012 page 1)
9 Surface Water
The numerous lakes and streams in Langlade County provide outstanding recreation opportunities. The Wolf Riv er, which flows through the eastern part of the county, is one of the most valuable rivers in the state. The source of the Wolf River is Pine Lake in Hiles, Wisconsin. The river travels the full length of the County and is the largest body of water with 984 acres. The river offers outstanding trout fishing, scenic value, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, and wildlife habitat. The gradient is very steep for a Midwestern river. It drops 420 feet in 50 miles from the Up per Post Lake Dam to the Menominee Indian Reservation. There are 17 named rapids on the Wolf River as it winds through Langlade County.
[n addition to the Wolf River, Langlade County has 225 streams, with a total length of 513 miles and a total sur face area of about I ,800 acres. There are 387 miles regarded as prime trout fishing streams. The Wolf and Eau Claire River are two highly regarded Class I trout fishing resources.
Lakes cover 8,864 surface acres and 381 miles of shoreline. Natural lakes number 843 , with 418 of these having public access. Most of the lakes are spring lakes or seepage lakes. White Lake is the largest spring lake, while Upper Post Lake, an impoundment and a drainage lake, is the largest lake in the County. The deepest lake is Jack Lake, which is 85 feet deep.
The quality of water is generally good. A number of lakes are in natural unspoiled settings. Eutrophication is a major pollution problem. During the summer, shallow water areas contain algae and weeds. The water is predom inantly very soft in the seepage, drained, and drainage lakes, but the water is hard in many of the spring lakes and streams.
Groundwater
The groundwater in Langlade County meets municipal, industrial, rural, and irrigation needs. The largest consum er is Antigo. The source of this water is local precipitation. The groundwater generally moves southward. On the Antigo Flats the groundwater depth averages 25 feet deep and is deeper in the eastern part of the flats.
The quality of the ground water is generally very good. Many soils however have very porous layers that are poor filters for domestic waste and agricultural chemicals. The impact of development and agriculture may cause dete rioration of the ground water. Generally, the content of dissolved solids in the ground water is relatively low in the western half of Langlade County and relatively high in the eastern half. The higher content in the eastern part probably results from a higher content of limestone in the glacial deposits.
Soils
Many of the soils formed entirely or partly in glacial outwash. Several soil series are common in Langlade County and each soil textural class is described after the soil series is named as follows. Antigo, Langlade, Minocqua, Oes terle, and Scott Lake soils formed in areas where sand and gravel outwash is mantled with silty and loamy depos its. Pence soils formed on eskers and kames and in other areas where sand and gravel outwash is mantled with loamy or sandy deposits. Au Gres, Croswell, and Vilas soils formed in areas where most of the outwash is sandy.
Soil properties are important considerations when planning and developing recreation facilities. To help evaluate soils, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service published the Langlade County Soil Survey in 1986. Updated soil suita bility tables for outdoor recreation and other uses are available on the Internet.
Soil surveys contain an abundance of information on appropriate site planning in respect to soil suitability and de velopmental properties by soil type. The soil types identified are to be evaluated for a wide range of recreational uses including the following: (Heider, Langlade Cottn!J ORP Plan 2012 page 8 and 9)
10 - wetland refuges for waterfowl -ski areas -wildlife management - golf courses - open space or nature study areas -campsites, hiking trails, and picnic areas -parks -woodlands - athletic fields - hunting preserves - designated farmland preservation areas - manmade ponds
SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Introduction
Overall recreation demand within Wisconsin is described under SCORP in Attachment B. Matching social charac teristics from this section with different recreation demands as shown in SCORP Chapter 2, will start to reinforce what recreational facilities to provide.
Population
Current population, seasonal population estimates, population projections, and public participation results are all important criteria to use when considering the supply of recreational facilities.
Langlade County continues to show growth. With the addition of 940 new residents, the county has grown by 4.5 percent since the 2000 census. This is 1.3 percentage points less than the state and 3.3 percentage points lower than the nation. (Source: WDOA, Demographic Services, Population Est., July 2009)
Changes in population are made up of two components. These are natural increase, when births outnumber deaths, and migration increase, when more people move into an area than move out. The combination of these two factors makes up increases or decreases in population. Langlade's natural increase was a negative 0.7 percent while migra tion was a robust 5.2 percent. Langlade County's natural increase is much lower than either the state or nation, but the net migration is 2.9 percentage points higher than the state's rate of 2.3 percent, and is 2.4 percentage points higher than the nation's 2.8 percent. The diminished natural increase in Lang lade may be a reflection of the older population in the county. By 2010, the expected average age of county residents will be 42.7 years, older than the state average of38.1 years. (Source: WDOA, Population Est., July 2009) (Heider, Langlad e Counry 0 RP P!an 201 2 page 10)
11 EXISTING RECREATION FACILITIES
INTRODUCTION
This section is an inventory of the existing outdoor recreational facilities in Langlade County, which will focus primarily upon public facilities. Some private facilities will be listed for reference purposes. The private sector provides many recreational opportunities but this plan's purpose is to identify public facility improvements that may qualify for state and federal money.
Existing recreation facilitates are grouped under the following headings: County Forest; Town of Peck Forests; Points Of Interest; Forested Lands - Not State, Federal, or County Owned; School District Facilities; Parks and Conservancy Areas with itemized lists of County, and local government facilities; and Private Outdoor Recreation Facilities.
COUNTY FOREST
The Langlade County Forestry and Recreation Department manages 127,137 acres of county forest. This land is managed for multiple uses, and is independently certified as sustainably managed and harvested. Some of the county forest is closed to motorized vehicles. Examples of permitted recreational activities are hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, camping, bough cutting (permit required), firewood collection (permit required), and wi ld life observation. Refer to Maps 3 and 6 for Langlade County Forest Land. An itemized list of county facilities ex ists in Tables 3 and 4.
WOLF RIVER STATE TRAIL The Wolf River State Trail in Langlade County is under development. The trail is presently open entirely to snow mobile use. The trail from White Lake to l/4 mile north of Highway 64, was developed and is open for use to AT V's. A TV use then branches off of the rail grade to the northwest to connect with the existing county ATV trail system. No motorized uses (except snowmobiles) will be allowed on the section from Highway 64 to Lily. The portion from Highway 55 to the Forest County line will be developed in 2012 for ATV use and will connect to For est County ATV trails ...
Prior to complete development of the trail, the segment from Highway 64 to Lily may be opened to walking and bicycling (mountain bikes with knobby tires recommended -the surface will be rough).
TOWN OF PECK FORESTS
The Town of Peck owns 2,333 acres of land for the Peck Town Forest, and 80 acres for Peck School's Forest. (Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 11)
12 POINTS OF INTEREST
Lang lade County contains both historic and contemporary points of interest of cultural, aesthetic, recreational, and scientific importance. A number of private sites may be open to the public, while others in private ownership are closed.

13 Galyan Springs, Town of Evergreen, privately owned. Stillhouse Springs, Town of Evergreen, privately owned.
The Town of Evergreen has many un-named springs that are privately owned.
PUBLIC ACCESS POINTS TO WATER BODIES
Public Access sites on Langlade County's lakes and streams have been extensively inventoried and catalogued by the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission in the Langlade County Public Access Study 2006. This public access study is undergoing final reviews, and will soon be available from the Langlade County Forestry Department. Various public entities in Langlade County own and maintain 90 access points in all - 18 developed, 65 undeveloped, and 7 parks with possible beaches. Public access to waterbodies will be ensured when develop ment occurs by state statute and county zoning ordinances. See the Implementation Strategies chapter under Public Access to Waterways, Park Dedication, and Use of Easements for more details.
SCHOOL DISTRICT FACILITIES
Three school districts provide additional local recreation opportunities in Langlade County. School yards often have playgrounds with play equipment, ball diamonds, and basketball hoops. These school yards are neighborhood parks that range in size from 1 to 15 acres.
The Unified School District of Antigo has 9 such facilities, Elcho contains 1 site, and White Lake maintains 1 site. Each school district has school forests. These forests are open to the public for a variety of recreational and educational uses.
The Unified School District of Antigo owns and maintains several school forests that are listed below. Contact the Unified School District of Antigo for rules of use on school forest lands. • Pleasant View School Forest, 20 acres; • Crestwood School Forest, 38 acres; • Forestview School Forest, 38 acres; • Liberty Bell Forty, 40 acres; • Deerbrook School Forest, 80 acres; • Noboken School Forest, 168 acres;
The Elcho School District owns and maintains two school forests listed below. Contact the Elcho School District for rules of use on school forest lands. • Elcho School Forest, 31 acres; Summit Lake School Forest, 78 acres;
School Park Forest is a 6 acre forest owned and maintained by the White Lake School District. Contact them for rules of use on school forest lands.
(Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 13)
14 DEFINITIONS: PARKS and CONSERVANCY AREAS
A summary of all the local and county parks, school grounds, state parks, and conservation areas with the ameni ties at each are located in the following tables and maps. The following brief descriptions of each park type are from SCORP 2005-2010. Elementary school playgrounds may be categorized as mini parks if only a playground exists. High schools grounds that contain several types of recreation fields would be listed under community parks. School forests are listed as community parks. Linear Parks are trails that may have various lengths.
Mini Parks - Generally less than 5 acres, these parks are special areas that serve a concentrated or limited popula tion or specific group such as tots or senior citizens. One prominent feature or recreation facility like a playground may be present as the purpose of this park. The service area for this park generally is a Y:z mile radius, and a popu lation of2,000-3,000 people.
Neighborhood Parks - An area of 5 to 25 acres that serves as the recreational and social focus of the neighbor hood. Active and passive recreational activities in this park include field, court, and ball games; skating; crafts; and picnicking. Facilities may also include a playground, wading pool, ball field, multi-activity field, ball diamond, tennis courts, skatepark, and shelter. Trees, open fields, and undeveloped natural areas are also desirable compo nents of neighborhood parks. The service area for this park generally is a l mile radius, and a population of 2,000- 5,000 people.
Community Parks - Usually more than 25 acres in size, these parks serve entire communities, and are located adjacent to a collector street to provide community-wide vehicular access. The purposes of this park are to meet the recreational needs of several neighborhoods, as well as to preserve unique landscapes and open spaces. These parks allow for group activities not feasible at the neighborhood level. All of the facilities of a neighborhood park may exist, along with nature trails and scenic areas.
Special Use Areas - These areas are for single purpose recreational activities, and often are designed as revenue generating enterprises such as for baseball, golf, nature centers, arboreta, formal gardens, gun ranges, festivals, ski areas, or areas that preserve and maintain cultural or archeological sites.
County Parks - County parks consist of 100 acres or more that are specifically set aside for active and passive recreation uses to accommodate large gatherings, special events, and individual users. These parks have scenic natural features that preserve the character of the region and provide a wide variety of compatible outdoor recrea tion activities; and may also provide areas for camping, historic preservation, protection of natural areas, and spe cial use areas.
State Parks - State parks are similar to county parks, with two differences: they consist of several hundred acres and preserve natural areas of statewide importance.
Conservancy Areas - Conservancy areas are managed for the flora & fauna resources that exist at a site. Activi ties like hiking, wildlife watching, hunting, and fishing may be allowed on these lands that may have labels like state natural areas, forests, or wildlife refuges. Each conservancy area has specific rules of use for public enjoy ment.
(Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012page 14)
15 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
INTRODUCTION
There are a number of different strategies available for the implementation of this plan. This includes securing funds to carry out the five year planning program and adopting techniques to carry out the general recommenda tions and to move towards attainment of the goals and objectives set forth in this plan. Attachment D lists state and federal financial assistance programs that will assist with implementation.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
Shoreland Zoning Wisconsin's Shoreland Management Program established statewide minimum standards for shoreland develop ment. Counties are required to adopt and administer shoreland zoning ordinances that meet or exceed these mini mum requirements. The statewide minimum standards for county shoreland zoning ordinances are found in Chap ter NR 115, Wis. Admin. Code. Be sure to check with Langlade County to find out about their development stand ards.
Public Access to Waterways Langlade County Land Division Ordinance and §236.16(3) Wis. Stats. require dedication of public access in subdi visions along waterways unless there is a public access within Y2 mile of the subdivision.
Park Dedication Subdivision regulations can be used by counties to require residential subdividers to dedicate a portion of subdivid ed land for permanent park and open space use in areas which are experiencing significant residential growth. Neighborhood parks may be acquired in this manner in newly developing residential areas. Local landowners should also be encouraged to dedicate land to their communities for recreational uses. Numerous small town me morial parks have been acquired through the generosity of local citizens. If citizens are made aware of community needs, this form of private action may continue to enrich the public resources of small communities. Langlade County will focus efforts to provide connectivity between developments/subdivisions and recreation areas through trail development. The County will support development of other recreation areas within developments/ subdivisions where feasible.
Use of Easements Open space and public recreation use of private land may be acquired by easement. With an easement, certain rights are granted to the public for a specific period of time and the private owner is compensated for that public use. In purchasing an easement, the public body acquires a right either to use the land in a specific manner or to restrict the use to which an owner may put their land. For example, the rights to establish public hiking or fishing access to a waterway may be purchased through an easement.
Complete Street Policy Complete Streets are roads and highways that are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users: motor ists, pedestrians, and bicyclists of all ages and abilities. Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, and walk to shops in urban areas; and for bicycling to work and for pleasure throughout the county. Traffic calming, road diets, sidewalks, and bike lanes are strategies that make a street complete. Instituting a complete streets policy or ordinance would ensure that roads become bicycle and pedestrian friendly as they become refurbished.
(Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 1 and 2 of Implementation Strategies)
16 Leases Leases may be used as measures to use or protect land until more permanent measures may be found. By leasing parcels of land, the land remains on the county's and the community's tax rolls and can be renegotiated or non renewed by the property owner if the monetary prospects for another use proves overpowering.
Another leasing method involves outright purchase of land by the county. The county then leases the land to a private party or organization with use restrictions placed on the land. Under this method, the county receives some monetary return on its investment and retains control over the use of the land.
Historic Sites Historical sites can be rewarding additions to any community's recreation program. This is especially true in areas oriented to serving a significant tourist trade. Nearly all communities in North Central Wisconsin are in this cate gory and they should all identify their historic sites. A study of potential areas is encouraged. Assistance and guidance for the study can be obtained from the Wisconsin Council for local History, an organization affiliated with the State Historical Society and the local County Historical Society.
Program Costs A community should carefully watch operations and maintenance costs when setting up a parks program. A too ambitious acquisition and/or development program can easily lead to annual costs larger than the community can afford to meet. Recreation facilities like golf courses and swimming pools, for example, require large annual maintenance investments to continue.
Capitallmprovements Community officials should develop five year capital improvements programs for recreation that reflect implemen tation of proposals made in their plans and the priorities they place on them. To be functional, the program must be flexible and be subjected to annual review. In developing a recreation program, care should be taken that the annual cost of maintenance does not exceed an amount the community can afford to pay. Too often, an ambitious program can lose community support as a result of prohibitive maintenance costs.
Monetary Aid Programs Take advantage of state and federal financial and technical aid programs, which are designed, to assist communi ties in meeting recreational, needs, and maintain community eligibility for such programs. Attachment D explains part of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, and other programs.
The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program is a comprehensive aid program for the promotion of resource conser vation and outdoor recreation opportunities. It consists of several older aid programs such as LA WCON and Local Park Aids, combined with new programs, such as the Urban Rivers Program. One requirement for application to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program is submission of an approved comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. This plan is designed to meet that requirement. The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program is described on the DNR website.
Besides state and federal aid programs, there are other sources of funding such as private foundations, trust funds, and civic and recreation organizations. For information on private foundations and trusts see Foundations in Wis consin: A Directory, available in print or online.
(Heider, Langlade Counry ORP Plan 2012 page 2 and 3 of Implementation Strategies)
17 Future Planning At a minimum, all communities should reassess their recreational needs near the end of the five year period cov ered by this plan. More frequent appraisal of needs may be called for under certain conditions such as extreme variations in funding capability, rapid population changes, actions of other units of government and private enter prise, and the recognition of new legislation, laws, and public programs.
Priorities The need for community officials to establish priorities within their recreation program is emphasized by the scope of the previous recommendations. Although it is unlikely that all of these recommendations will be undertaken within the time period of this plan, there is an outstanding opportunity for inroads to be made. Recognition of in creasing demands for recreation, space and facilities should prompt immediate action.
Lifetime Activities Community and school officials responsible for recreation should place greater emphasis on land areas and facili ties that can support "lifetime" recreational activities. Falling into this category are activities like golf, tennis, all target sports, horseshoes, cross country skiing, skating, running, volleyball, handball, badminton, back packing, and canoeing. Many schools have programs aimed at teaching recreational activities that people can participate in for a lifetime.
Snowmobile/ A TV Routes Designated specific streets or rights-of-way for snowmobile or ATV use. Since snowmobiles and ATVs can be considered a noise nuisance and a hazard for non-users, municipalities may wish to designate specific routes through the municipality for snowmobile/ A TV use.
Winter Activities All communities should provide winter outdoor recreation facilities. Skating and sliding sports (sledding, tobog ganing, and skiing) can generally be provided without large investments. Skating, for example, can be as involved as providing rinks for ice hockey or as simple as flooding a small area of a school playground. Likewise, merely blocking off a lightly traveled street with a suitable slope can frequently provide a sliding area.
Specialized Facilities Encourage development of specialized facilities by the private sector. Specialized facilities such as golf clubs and ski resorts can be an important adjunct to public recreational facilities. Quality and availability for public use should be emphasized.
Municipal & School District Cooperation Promote cooperation between municipalities and school districts in meeting recreational needs. With good plan ning, cooperation may take the form of joint land acquisition and/or facilities development cost sharing. Increased municipal use of existing school facilities during non-school hours should also be encouraged.
Senior Citizen Involvement Involve senior citizens in community park development and beautification and provide recreational facilities for their use. Although senior citizens often compose a significant proportion of the total community's population, they are often neglected in recreational planning. Benches placed near neighborhood parks and play areas and non -intensive sports facilities such as horseshoe pits located in community parks help to provide a place for the senior citizens. Small, passive use parks and garden located near nursing and retirement homes should also be encour aged. In addition, senior citizens can provide invaluable assistance in beautifying parks and open spaces and can thereby become more involved in community group life.
(Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 3 and 4 of Implementation Strategies) 18 Youth Programs Few recreational opportunities have been planned for the communities' high school age youth. School activities provide most recreational outlet during winter months, but in summer there is a distinct void. This plan recom mends a study to determine what recreation activities would be best received by this age and what opportunity there is to provide for them at public parks.
Service Group Involvement Involve organized service groups in needed park and recreation development, including development of competi tive sports area and neighborhood parks. Traditionally, service groups and recreation organizations, such as Lions Club, V.F. W., softball leagues, and snowmobile clubs have played an active role in the development of such facili ties. Continued activity of this type should be encouraged. In addition, service groups could help to meet the need for neighborhood facilities by supplementing municipal financial resources and providing organization and volun teer labor.
Community Beautification All communities should recognize that community appearance is an important component of a recreation program. Maintained streets and sidewalks, attractive trees and shrubs, well cared for homes and commercial buildings, and neatly landscaped home lawns, public open space, and parks are principal contributors to community beautifica tion. Such a program is most rewarding to persons engaged in passive recreation.
Adopt-A-Park Program A program which encourages local groups to adopt-a-park or segment of trial or stream could be organized similar to the very successful Adopt a Highway program. The groups could volunteer their time to maintain and beautify the county's recreational system, allowing more county funds to provide major improvements.
(Heider, Langlade County ORP Plan 2012 page 4 and 5 of Implementation Strategies)
19 City of Antigo Parks
The City of Antigo is home to twenty parks and over 83 acres. These parks are scattered throughout the city and range in size from 0.098 (Robin's Roost Park) acres to over thirteen acres (Northern Natural Area). The current park system is evolving and expanding with the di rection focused from public feedback and internal staff discussion. Facility maintenance and upgrades are an annual priority with expansion and new projects considered as funding is avail able.
In 2010 the first segment of the Springbrook Trail was completed and includes over 1,800 feet of boardwalk. Since the vision for the trail has become a reality the public support has been overwhelming. Expansion to the existing trail system is already built into future park plans, and collaborative efforts with other groups and organizations are being explored. The path marks a new road for the community and has spurred a rebirth to formerly blighted areas.
Completion of Rockin' Robins World community built playground and the subsequent con struction of the restroom/warming house facility (made possible through a generous donation from Mr. Edward Stasek) has revitalized an important section of the city. Continued improve ments to this area will add exponential community value creating a hub for events and programs for the greater area.
The Hospital Land Exchange was officially completed in 2010 and allowed for expansion of the new hospital as well as the current park system; increasing our natural habitat areas, the possi bilities for trail expansion and recreational opportunities.
In 201 0 a set of park plans were drafted by Aaron Williams, a landscape architect, with Schrieber Anderson. These plans received public feedback and have allowed the parks depart ment and city to move in a direction toward project completion with a similar vision. The plans represent a cohesive park system connected whenever possible with trails. They promote out door recreation that is indicative to our demographics, while also promoting new activities that broaden our activity base.
The plans represent a dynamic park system that will evolve and progress over the coming years. The plans have assisted with securing donated funds and completing larger park projects. In 2011 we were awarded funding from the Elwyn Remington Foundation for City Park West path development and parking. In 2011 we also received funding from an anonymous donor for construction of an off-leash dog park.
In 2012 we will begin construction on a new Little League press box/concession and storage facility. This project has been made possible through collaboration with the Antigo Baseball Association, and a generous donation from the Optimist Club.
20 Additional future park plans that have taken shape since the plans were drafted include a City of Antigo Dog Park and the addition of a 9 hole Disc Golf Course. The City of Antigo has also partnered with various community groups (Langlade County Economic Development, Langlade County Chamber of Commerce, Family Comer Resource Center, Langlade County Boys & Girls Club, Antigo Unified School District, Langlade County Health Department, Aging and Disability Resource Center, UW-Extension, and the Ice Age Trail) to create a shared communi ty caledar for our residents and visitors to the area. This project was funded through Hotel Mo tel and has gotten a lot of positive feedback. Long-term goals include a connection to the Ice Age Trail with Antigo acting as a trail head for those walking the path.
Our current facilities and future plans are made possible through a dedicated staff as well as a committed community. Many of our improvements and projects would not have been possible without the generous financial support from individual or group donors as well as federal and state grants.

Skate Park Meeting: Spring 2009 • This meeting was scheduled by the park and recreation director in 2009 to involve the youth that utilize the skate park facility in the Activity Park. The impetus for this meeting was the high level of vandalism and litter that occurs within and around the park. A variety of im provements were requested by the participants including: an enclosed facility, a vert ramp, concrete basin, lighting and tools on-site for equipment repairs. • Some of the ideas generated to raise funding for park improvements and beautification in cluded having a sponsorship ride, teaching a class, hosting a competition, providing a lawn mowing service, hosting a car wash, brat fry, or bake sale, having t-shirt, hat or wristband sales, and applying for grants. People also thought that more positive promotion in the community, including volunteerism and collaborative efforts between groups and organiza tions, would be beneficial for this park. • A skateboard competition was held in the summer of2010, sponsored by the Sierra Group Home. Park Site Plans-Public Forum: Spring 2010 • Aaron William' s from Schreiber Anderson Associates, Inc. hosted a public forum for feed back on the site plans created for ten priority parks in the City of Antigo. Feedback for the various parks included: • North Clermont Ball Field 0 Formalize area around bleachers o Add storage shed 0 Add electrical hook-up for pitching machines 0 Screening for the house on the southwest edge of the field 0 Sidewalks will be installed on both sides of the street 0 Add park signage • Mendlik Park o Addition of seating pad with a bench and bike racks 0 Concrete path connection for maintenance vehicles from Mendlik A venue to basketball courts 0 Install gate for maintenance vehicles to get into basketball courts 0 Add evergreen screening to edges 0 Add shade trees out of the way of powerlines along the northern edge • Antigo Lake RV Campground o Tent camping is less formal-no pads-provide shade/non-shade opportunities o Provide trees for handing items o Utilize benning to screen and define camping area from other uses o Add 'personal' shelters (smaller) to buffer camping area from other uses 0 Add parking along Third A venue 0 Formalize parking lot to be used for Kretz Field parking, RV overflow 30 parking, and Lake Park events • Little League Park 0 Boat launch near Second A venue for canoe/kayak users 0 Addition of playground with seating o Addition of bleachers in left field • Saratoga Park 0 Permanent seating at the play areas 0 Volleyball court location 0 City owns land directly east of Little League diamond 0 Full-sized soccer field is desired to remain in this location-look at combining with storm water overflow (detention) area 0 Severely undersized storm line bisects park from Smith A venue traveling southwest 0 Parking along Nantasket Street exists today on grass-formalize 0 Nature path connection south to skate park • Third Ward Park 0 Warming house/restroom building 0 Addition of orchard with groundcover for low maintenance 0 Interplant elm trees under existing elm o Addition of street trees • Skate Park 0 BMX course very good idea 0 Signage for area directing kids-must be kid friendly 0 Could eventually see this area as location for Bike Safety Rodeos 0 Ability to close Second A venue and use area as plaza for events 0 No evergreen shrubs around base offence-hiding potential • Peaceful Valley 0 Considerations for a potential pavilion for Farmer's Market use 0 Venders-easy access and parking possibilities behind stands, space for 20- 25 vendors 0 Patrons-solid surface for strollers and wheel chairs in close proximity to parking spaces 0 Tables and/or benches around market area 0 Pavilion needs to be accessible to parking-overflow vendor area 0 Cannot add fill to site 0 Very poor soils for tree planting • City Park West 0 Band shell area should be senior friendly with a cement (concrete) walkway 0 Elderly friendly and handicap friendly 0 People who can go to any ofthe parks freely and can be physically active, do not have an appreciation for those who choose to 'stay home,' because access is so difficult from their bus, vehicle or walk 0 Strongly recommend installing stamped-colored walkways to senior seating area and to restrooms 0 Do not agree with asphalt because of rough surface and high maintenance 31 0 Need to have access to rear of bandstand for musician equipment loading/ unloading 0 Parking area for handicap needs to have easy access to seating 0 City Park is and should be the 'jewel' ofthe City park system 0 Make park as accessible as possible 0 Add new trees in City Park to fill in voids where trees were cut down 0 The more trees in the park, the better 0 Senior friendly 0 Permanent seating at play areas o Handicap van drop-off area necessary with concrete walk connection to pla- za and restrooms 0 Aesthetic o Additional plaza hardscape proposed- reflect on plan 0 Barriers along Aurora Street and park for seating, traffic control, etc. • Cherry Street Park 0 Addition of evergreen screen along Duffek 0 Addition of orchard with groundcover for low maintenance 0 Small fruit only-nothing worth throwing at houses/people • Park Comments Outside of Scope of Project 0 Lake Park should have very large evergreen trees planted along the south side of Merit Gear 0 This large blank wall could benefit from some vegetation- maintain view to company logo o Ice Age Trail connection from southwest side of city along Springbrook into Jaycee Park through Peaceful Valley to trailhead, along Lake Park, along boardwalk through north end;

Although only a few people came, the following comments were gathered: • The dog park is a great idea. • The City should purchase parcel number 2010334 for park purposes. • The City should plant a vegetative screen on the north side of the lime pit east of 32 North Elementary School • Any improvements to the native landscaping along the Springbrook Trail are welcomed Park Comment Advertisment- Winter 2011 • The Park and Recreation Director placed an advertisement in the newspaper with an area for public comment on the City of Antigo park system. The following comments were gathered: Dog Park Meeting-Winter 2011 • A preliminary meeting was held regarding a possible City of Antigo Dog Park. There was a lot of interest and the meeting was well-attended. Based on the feedback and attendance, it was determined that there is a need for a dog park in the city. Some of the feedback gathered included: • The Old Deleglise Landfill area was decided to be the ideal location for the park because of its size and the number of possibilities at this site, including trails. • The Humane Society could have exclusive hours during the week for their use of the park, which will allow them to let their dogs off-leash in a safe environment without concern for other pet owners. • ADA requirements and parking accessibility will be researched by the Park and Recreation Director. • There should be plenty of information and volunteers on hand for educating the public on opening day. Information about expectations for the park, its users and their pets should be readily available. Press releases in the paper and an article would assist with public awareness. • A two-gate entry system and signage should be incorporated. Dog waste dispensers should also be available. The ones currently used by the City utilize plastic shopping bags and allow for the public to restock them. Additional items to be add ed as funding becomes available include benches for seating, shade structures, toilet facilities and access to water. • There should be a large mowed center area with mowed trails leading into it. The perimeter of the park should also be mowed. • "People food" should not be allowed. Shade structures or pavilions would not be for picnicking, but for shade and rest areas. Finalized rules will be posted before opening day. • There was concern about the enforcement of rules. Law enforcement and the honor system will be the primary methods of enforcement. • A donation box or annual fee was discussed. Annual Baseball Meetings-Every Winter • Every winter, the Park and Recreation Director meets with representatives from various baseball and softball organizations and leagues to discuss ball field maintenance, the reservation process, and facility use. Many changes have been made throughout the years, including the restructure of maintenance crew scheduling, the purchase of new field equipment, and the expectations of those using the fields. The administrative process has also had a few updates, including the posting of an updated ball field reservation calendar 33 on the City of Antigo website, formalized reservation forms that need to be filled out for games and practices, and a formalized process for checking out maintenance facility keys and lock codes. Many of the City's ball park improvements, including a new storage shed, dugouts, and electric hook-ups at the North Clermont Ball Field and upgrades to the press box and dugouts at the Senior League Ball Field, have resulted from the feedback gathered at these annual meetings. Park, Cemetery and Recreation Commission Meetings-Monthly • The Park, Cemetery and Recreation Committee is comprised of City of Antigo Alderpeople and community members who take an interest in City parks and activities. The commission meets each month to discuss and approve topics that are currently being worked on in the Park and Recreation Department. One of the main goals of the committee is to assist the Park and Recreation Director with long-range plans for the park system and the prioritization of these plans. The Park and Recreation Director created a matrix of park improvements that need to occur, as well as goals and ideas that she would like to achieve, with the help of her maintenance crew. The Park, Cemetery and Recreation Committee has prioritized this matrix according to their feelings on how the general public would itemize the improvements. Some of the items on the matrix need to occur before others due to safe ty concerns, but others have been brought forward by the committee, such as the creation of a pavilion at Peaceful Valley Park and concrete paths at City Park West. Meetings/Collaborations with Various Community Groups/Organizations • Throughout the years, the Park and Recreation Director has attended many meetings of clubs and organizations in the community. The Park and Recreation Department advertises for many groups through the City website and the annual Summer Activity Guide. The fol lowing lists groups that have collaborated with the Park and Recreation Department over the years: + Antigo Area Youth Hockey 0 Promotion of activities and events 0 Collaboration for Open Skate events + Farmer's Market 0 Collaboration for events during the market, such as the 2009 Community Picnic 0 Park and Recreation Department resource table for community organizations during markets 0 Public Works Department Clerical Assistant serves as a board member 201 0 + Ice Age Trail o Promotion of activities and events 0 Possibility of incorporating the Ice Age Trail into the City's current trail system + Unified School District of Antigo o Promotion of summer school programs and activities 0 Collaboration of facility use, including soccer and baseball fields + Clara R.

Recreation & Cemetery, received a 2010 Urban Forestry Assistant Grant through the State of Wisconsin. The purpose of the grant is to fund projects that improve a commun ity's capaci ty to manage its trees. The WI Urban Forestry Grant is a 50-50 cost share program. Antigo must use its own resources (cash. in-kind services, and/or donations) to fund the entire cost of the project. Upon project completion and approval, Antigo request reimburse ment for 50 percent of the eligible costs up to the approved amount of the grant award ($19.223.00). FUNDINGSTATEMENT : This document was funded in part by an urban forestry grant from the Slate of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Forestry Program as authorized under s. 23.097. Wis. Stat. EUGIBLEPROJECTS INCLUDE : - Urban forestryplans -Community tree inventories - Vegetation ordinances - Urban forestrytree boards or tree action groups - Urban forestrystaff - Urban forestrypublic awareness program and/or materials -Urban forestryvolunteer/neighborhood involvement programs -Hazard tree inventories -Contract specfflcations for urban tree planting, maintenance, and!ex removal -Funds may be available for tree planting, maintenance, or removal NOTES: Ten priority parks were looked at in regards to general soflscape enhancements, including (shade tree planting. omamenlaltree planting. evergreen tree planting. orchards. native seeding. park signage, and park elements and enhancements either planned or requested). 2. Soft scope recommendations include placement of tree types and potential plant species appropriate fcr the area. Evergreen species were utilized to screen undesirable views or provide definition to a particular area. Shrub plant ings. although listed in the palettes. are kept to a minimum to rellect building foundation planting. Park signage landscaping and special areas were a tower growing species is necessary. 3. Although these plans are primarily focused on shade. ornamental and evergreen trees. each park plan should be further refined to address potential shrub. perennial and annual introductions. 4. Plant placement is left general and purposely not dimensioned. This is in regard to the nature of aerial photography that was used fcr the base map and hence non-specific rellection of utilities. existing structures. existing vegetation. etc. Generally. the plant introductions on the plans can 'lloal' and are not married to their exact location. (As is the case with City Park-West. potential introductions are identified not knowing which trees are presently e>dsling cr if new species have been planted since the aerial photograph was taken) 5. As with any living species, water and nutrients are essential fcr the longevity and desired aesthetic. As imporianl as tree planning and planting are to the Parks of Antigo. long term maintenance is equally important. Appropriate budgeting shall occur to ensure the survival of all soflscape introductions 6. As a general rule. all open lawn areas in the Park system should undergo annual fertilization. weed/pest control, ap propriate watering and an adaptable maintenance schedule that adheres to climatic conditions and not calendar dates. Environmentally sustainable park maintenance practices should be an underlying goal. 7. All parks should have unifcrm signage that contains the following information: -Park name - Park address -An Antigo Parks system map with 'You are Here' designation -Park funding information (donated by: funded through; grants: naming information. etc.) .\11\hJJJI PUBLICCOMMENT Community Charrette Forum held March 5, 2010 Note: Comments are In no particular order.

END OF SECTION The fi ve year park plan matrix is a way for our department to plan and accomplish various goals within budget and within a timeline. Various factors may cause a project to be postponed until a later date. However, this plan will assist with focusing our plans and efforts. More immediate priorities are determined by public feedback, staff input, compliance with state or federal codes and safety hazards. The matrix has been divided into the various parks we maintain. It also has a section for the equipment that helps us maintain the parks. The different colors within the spreadsheet are upgrades that are not specific to just one park, but instead are upgrades that could occur at a number of our parks or facilities. The following is a break-out of upgrades that are not one park specific: Electric Hand dryers - Total of 16 hand dryers with installation at 8 restroom facilities. Yard Games - Total of 6 games (Bean Bag Toss) Bike Racks- Total of 10 bike racks (3 -5 bikes per rack) Park Signage - Total of 14 uniform park signs Insurance, ADA and Government Mandates CVMIC, our insurance provider, periodically inspects our playgrounds and facilities for safety hazards and compliance with federal and state code. ADA accessibility for new facilities and equipment must be built into the plan. We should work towards accessibility with any existing equipment and facilities. The State Health Department inspects our campground and wading pool annually. We are mandated by the state and federal government to fall within certain guidelines for both facili ties. Each facility requires a license. Grants Grants assist with funding various projects. Plans enable us to apply for funding that is availa ble. • The DNR Urban Forestry Grant has assisted us with tree planting, removal, management and planning. • Stewardship grants have allowed us to build facilities and trails. • LA WCON grants have also assisted us with facility upgrades and new structures. • Additional grants and funding are always considered to help defray project costs, maintain facilities and develop park and community areas. • Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF) • Aids for the Acquisition and Development of Local Parks (ADLP) • Urban Green Space Program (UGS) • Urban Rivers Grant Program (URGP) • Local Foundations 71 Summary of Improvements and Future Plans 2008 - 2011 Improvements Park Improvements • City Park West Bandstand was remodeled - 2008 • Reconstructed and relocated Hudson Street Shelter Restrooms - 2008 • Completed Rockin' Robins World Community Built Playground- 2008 • Constructed restrooms at Peaceful Valley Park - made possible by a donation from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stasek.

The park includes a variety of ramps, rails and boxes for skate boarders and roller bladers to practice and showcase their skills. Bikes are allowed, but need to have plastic pegs. History The skate park was made possible through donated and city funds. Local sponsors include the Antigo Optimists who contributed $5,000.00 towards the project. Add itional monies (approximately $500.00) were raised from penny wars at the Antigo High School and Middle School as well as car washes. Initial proposals for the park, by interested youth to the City of Antigo Council, occurred in 1998, but they were not pursued due to liability concerns. The project did not receive approval from Council until 2000. At this time, approximately twenty organized and determined youth (with their parents) addressed council and presented their case. In 2001 $5000.00 of Capital Improvement Funds were budgeted for the future project. In 2002 an additional $10,000.00 was added to the fund and in 2003 $15,000.00 were ear marked and budgeted for a total of $30,000.00. The park was constructed in the fall of 2003. The total acreage for this park area was expanded in 2010 due to the acquisition of the Riser Energy Parcel through the Hospital Land Exchange. Recent Upgrades (within the past five years) • Repairs to skate park equipment were made in the spring of 2010. Repairs included reinforcement, with additional internal supports, of the current structures. • Future Plans • See Schrieber Anderson park plan for long-term goals • See 5 year Park Plan Matrix 85 Antigo Optimist Skate Park 1011 First Avenue Additional Notes/Comments • Vandalism is a constant issue at this site (primarily in the skate park), and the possibility of installing a camera system is currently being considered (201 0) . Structural damage as well as graffiti and litter cost the City of Antigo considerable resources in the form of labor and supplies. • We have had access issues dealing with utilization of the skate park. Vehicles drive on the adjacent property and cause damage and disturbance at the assisted living facility. The future plans will address this issue with landscaping, additional parking and paths. • The City of Antigo Park and Recreation supervisor has met with local youth that utilize the skate park (various meetings occurred in 2008, 2009 and 201 0). Discussion topics included: future wants, current needs, park use expectations ... etc. A number of youth participated in litter pick-up on two occasions in the spring of 2009. • The Park and Recreation Department works with local law enforcement to keep them informed of park closures and recent vandalism. Local authorities have assisted with investigations into vandalism and their efforts have allowed the City of Antigo to receive restitution for damages that occurred at the park. • In 2010 the City of Antigo acquired parcel number: 2010152 or the "Riser Energy Parcel". This parcel expanded the existing park property to the south allowing for additional recreational opportunities in the future with continued park development. 86 Outdoor Hockey Rink and Sled Hill 1011 First Avenue • Park Classification: Community Park • Park Season: Year round (based on weather conditions). • Park Hours: 7:00 am - Dusk • Restroom Facilities: A portable toilet is located on the south side of the skate park during the summer months. • Restroom Season: Summer months • Restroom Hours: 7:00am- Dusk • Additional Amenities: Hockey rink with boards and a winter sled hill • Lighting: Lights on a timer illuminate the rink for late night games or practices. • Total Acreage: 3.454 acres • Parcel(s): 2010002, 2010152 (Riser Energy Parcel) General Park Description • Hockey Rink: The rink is open for use in either the summer months, for in line skaters, or the winter months when it is flooded for pick-up hockey games, figure skaters and broomball. Ice time is shared between users. • Sled Hill: The sled hill is available in the winter months. Sled hill conditions are contingent on the amount of snow and favorable winter weather. Bring your sled and enjoy some sledding fun in the potato flats. History The outdoor hockey and inline rink is a cooperate effort between the City of Antigo and the Antigo Area Youth Hockey Association. The sled hill was a vision of the City Administrator, Dale Soumis. It was made a reality in 2007 with the fill provided from the creation of the retention pond on Edison Street for Volm Bag . The total acreage for this park was expanded in 2010 due to the acquisition of the Riser En ergy Parcel through the Hospital Land Exchange. Recent Upgrades (within the past five years) • Curb cuts were made in the fall of 2009, so a gravel parking area is available on the north side of the hockey rink. • The hockey nets were replaced in 2010. • Plastic sheeting was used to repair cracks and holes in the boards in 2011 . Future Plans • See Schrieber Anderson park plan for long-term goals • See 5 year Park Plan Matrix 87 Outdoor Hockey Rink and Sled Hill 1011 First Avenue Additional Notes/Comments • The sled hill is heavily utilized in the winter months and a great addition for the community. • Concern from a resident about the native plantings on the sled hill were documented by the Park and Recreation Supervisor in the Spring of 2009. The sled hill was seeded with Red Clover, Yellow Sweet Clover, Yellow Blossom, Alsac Clover, Broom Grass, Rye Grass, and Alfalfa in 2008 to pre vent erosion to the hill and dust in the local neighborhoods. The Park and Recreation Supervisor contacted the UW Extension for assistance with plant identification. It was determined the plantings on the sled hill were not a concern for allergies or noxious weeds. The plantings are not mowed, and the area is classified as a natural lawn. • In 2010 the City of Antigo acquired parcel number: 2010152 or the "Riser Energy Parcel". This par cel expanded the existing park property to the south allowing for additional recreational opportunities in the future with continued park development. 88 Antigo Activity Park (Optimist Skate Park, Outdoor Hockey Rink and Sled Hill) Current Park Utilities Electric: Yes • Description: Two lights used to illuminate ice rink.

Light illuminates the rink on a dusk to dawn timer. The new warming house is a wonderful addition. History • Rockin' Robin Community Built Playground was spearheaded by former Mayor Michael Matusek. Construction was completed in the fall of 2008. Funds were raised through donations and the sale of specific playground structural items (benches, bridge ...etc .). The sale of engraved pickets on the perimeter of the playground help off-set maintenance costs (wood chips, staining, repairs ...etc .) • A $130,000.00 donation by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stasek allowed for construction of the restroom/ warming house facility in 2009/2010. Additional funding for this facility was made possible through donations from the Optimists and the Community Association of Retirees. Recent Upgrades (within the past five years) • Building demolition and site prep • Playground construction • Warming/restroom facility construction. Facility has in-floor heat, vandal resistant mirrors, auto shut off faucets and auto on/off interior lights. Completion of the concrete apron and landscaping (fall 201 0) was completed with assistance from the Street Department, Engineering and Parks. The overall concrete apron design was drafted by Charley Brinkmeier. • Facility identification signage (installed 2011 ). 108 Peaceful Valley Park 420 Field Street Future Plans • See Schrieber Anderson park plan for long-term goals • See 5 year Park Plan Matrix • A funding request was made for the Pavilion in 2011 Additional Notes/Comments • Vandalism is a constant issue at this site we are hopeful the camera system will act as a deterrent to this behavior. Structural damage as well as graffiti and litter cost the City of Antigo considerable resources in the form of labor and supplies. • The large ice rink flooded by the Park and Recreation Department each year receives a high level of use. The warming house has windows that look out onto the rink creating a warm and convenient area for parents to watch their children. • The concession area for the warming house is not yet complete. A refrigerator was purchased with funds raised through pie and ice cream sales at Music in the Park (201 0) . We hope to complete the concession area (counters, 2-3 basin sink and shelving) as funds are available. • Continued development of this site will make it a desirable location for large and small events. The close proximity of the playground, open green space and future pavilion make it family friendly as well. • The development of this once blighted area is a great asset to the community. Because much of the area is in the flood plane building construction is limited and all future plans must be reviewed to ensure compliance. • Site preparation was a cooperative effort between city departments (Street Department, Engineering and Parks). • The total acreage for this park was expanded in 2010 due to the acquisition of the Riser Energy Par cel through the Hospital Land Exchange. 109 Peaceful Valley Park (community built playground, warming house and future event center) Current Park Utilities Electric: Yes • Description: One light used to illuminate ice rink (dusk to dawn).

The shelter was funded through Wisconsin ORAP/LPA (1974) Recent Upgrades (within the past five years) • Vandal resistant mirrors were installed spring of 2010. • Auto on/off faucet were installed winter 2010. • Auto on/off light sensors for restrooms and maintenance room were installed winter 2010. • Auto open/close locks were installed on the restroom doors summer of 2010. • An electronic keypad lock was installed on the maintenance room (2010). • New flooring 2009 • Curb cut (201 0) on north side of restroom facility allows ADA access to restroom. • Upgraded interior lighting fixtures (from the old municipal pool) were installed (2011 ). • Repurposed bathroom partitions from the old municipal pool were installed (2011 ). • Bench built by Levi Fernauld for his Eagle Scout Project was placed in the park (2011) • Facility identification signage 132 Future Projects/Upgrades • Create a barrier between the ball diamond and the restroom/concession area to prevent vehicular traffic. • Re-paint the exterior of the restroom facility and concession stand and repurpose the restroom building to open the structure and make it more user friendly. • Landscape around restroom facility and place planters in front of building. • Installation of a security camera system. • Construct a maintenance shed on the outer perimeter of the left field fence for ball diamond equip ment storage. • Construct an additional shaded structure to the south of the concession stand in the open green space. • Increase the area around playground equipment and woodchip or surface with play-surface materi al. Remove fence around kiddie area. • See 5 year park plan matrix Additional Notes/Comments • Antigo Lake Park is a heavily utilized facility due to the close proximity to Lake Park and Senior League ball diamonds. Because of the close proximity to Springbrook Trail the restroom facility has seen increased usage. The block building is not efficient to heat and is no longer used in the winter for activities. Opening the shelter area by removing the large double doors and moving the re stroom access door to the east side of the shelter will make this facility more accommodating to us ers. 133 Antigo Lake Park Current Park Utilities Electric: Yes • 5 electrical outlets are available on separate 20 amp circuits.

There are a number of bar leagues, church leagues and youth baseball and softball programs. There are a minimum of two tournaments during the summer season that bring a number of visitors to the community. The fields are also utilized by the Unified School District of Antigo for their varsity, junior varsity and freshman softball and baseball programs. In addition to the high lev el of usage from leagues and the schools the fields also see use from groups hosting events that are renting shelters. Due to the high level of use our baseball and softball fields see each year we strive to provide updated and well maintained facilities. Over the past five years our fields have seen a number of upgrades including top dress material on three fields (allowing for play in wet conditions), facility upgrades to Senior League and North Clermont, and additional administrative pro cessing to assist with ease of field reservations and access to information. A theme that will be seen in all of our parks, as well as the ball diamond facilities, is visible signage. We will continue facility upgrades as funding is available. The direction of our improvements is determined by feedback from field users and the general public.

This field is used for softball games and youth baseball. The lack of amenities made this field undesirable for many. The close proximity to the road with no dugouts made for an unsafe situation with young children. In the spring of 2010 electric was installed, so coaches could use more reliable electric pitching ma chines. In the summer of 2010 a maintenance shed was completed, which allowed for the storage of equipment and a more user friendly field . In the fall of 2010 chain link dugouts were erected making this facility a more accommodating field for coaches and players. Dugout seating was installed in the spring of 2011 completing major park upgrades. 177 ANTIGO RR PLAT PT BLOCK 21 DATE: 9/4/12 SHEET NORTH SARATOGA & SESE SEC 19 T31N RllE SCALE: 1" = 100' BEING LOT 38 CSM V4 P306 1235 NANTASKET ST 1 ALSO~ VACATED SARATOGA ST 0 I (./) w I (./') 0 1-1 _J l9 I w -0- _l AR A= 2.147 ACRES w SQ F,T 0 ______] 0 0 0 ANTIGO RR PLAT PT BLOCK 21 DATE: 9/4/12 SHEET NORTH SARATOGA & SESE SEC 19 T31N RllE SCALE: 1" = 1 00' BEING LOT 38 CSM V4 P306 1235 NANTASKET ST 1 ALSO~ VACATED SARATOGA ST Saratoga North 1235 Nantasket Street • Park Classification: Special Use Area • Park Classification: Little League (primary) and Softball Field (secondary) • Park Season: Spring-Fall • Park Hours: 7:00am- Dusk • Restroom Facilities: Available on site • Restroom Season: Summer months • Restroom Hours: 7:00am- 8:30 pm • Total Acreage: 2. 7 acres • Parcel(s) Number: 2011729 Facility Description • Enclosed/Fenced in ball diamond • Fence: 210' Left, 219' Center and 212' Right • Fenced in ball diamond • Clay and sand surface infield • Bleachers • 2 ground level chain-link dugouts with benches • Dug-out dimensions: 20' x 6'-backside and 20' x 7'6" top • Shelter • Electric Scoreboard • Playground equipment Recent Upgrades (within the past five years) • Facility Signage (2011) Future Plans • Shared maintenance shed for both Saratoga Fields • Top dress material • Lights (coin-operated with accessibility in maintenance shed) • Concession/Press box Facility • See Schrieber Anderson park plan for long-term goals • See 5 year Park Plan Matrix Additional Notes/Comments Saratoga North and South offer a lot of potential in the way of facilities and ball fields.

Unfortunately, it leaves out urban forestry; an important and relatively recent component for which our department of 4 full time, I year round part-time and 6-8 seasonal maintenance staff is responsible. In the mid 90s a local Forestry Technician with the DNR, Pete Solin, staffed a booth at the Wisconsin State Fair. He was approached by a gentleman who mentioned a small town up north (Antigo) that he frequently traveled through, and how the condition of the trees was less than favorable. Pete took it upon himself to approach the City Council, the Mayor and the Park and Recreation Director to change how things were done. Don Kissinger, with the DNR, suggested applying for an urban forestry grant to assist with implementing a plan to not only remove hazardous, dead or dying trees, but to also replace them once removed. The City of Antigo re ceived a grant through the DNR, allowing them to inventory their trees and begin a replacement program. In 1999, 34 acres of wooded area, within city limits, was gifted to the city by Dan and Diane Kretz. In 2009 a walking/bike path (partially funded through a stewardship grant) was constructed through this wooded area ex panding the possibilities for public education and appreciation of forested areas within easy access to local resi dents. Public education and awareness are driving forces behind gaining our public's support for our forestry programs. In 2009 we were awarded another urban forestry grant from the DNR; this time our focus was preparing a readi ness plan for EAB . We also began implementing an educational component that would target the local public through our webpage and other largely distributed media like our summer recreation guide. Cooperative efforts continue between organizations. We partnered with local contractors and arborists and offered a number of free classes to the public that dealt with tree health and the urban forest. In addition, we created site plans for our ten priority parks that highlighted tree plantings for each area. The site plans have helped us secure tree planting donations and positive public feedback. We have recently been working with Pete Solin to coordinate a timber sale and create management plans for our city owned wooded areas. Choosing an appropriate tree to plant can be an overwhelming task. To assist our local residents with determining appropriate planting choices we have developed tree guide brochures that are available in our office and on our website. The guides also list planting techniques and proper tree care. The All Saints Girl Scout Troop 7041 worked with the city to create forestry themed educational signage that will be placed along the recently constructed trail within city limits. Invasive species were also identified within our wooded park areas and plans are being drafted for their removal. 190 Staff education and training has kept us abreast of current practices and trends. This past year our staff has attend ed the annual urban forestry conference and also a pruning workshop. We attend quarterly forestry meetings with our regional urban forestry coordinator, and network with other communities. Staff stays busy throughout the year with various forestry related activities. We are able to prune and remove all year but primarily this occurs in the summer and winter. We try to schedule the bulk of our plantings in the fall or spring, but donated trees will also be planted in the summer. Applicable trainings and classes are attended when offered. The current direction of our forestry program began, because of Pete Solin's drive, initiative and personal pride to improve the forest health of his community. He eventually received the International Society of Arboricultures Gold Leaf Award in recognition of his accomplishments. Continued cooperative efforts between the DNR, Wis consin Public Service and local contractors and residents have helped Antigo establish an urban forestry program that continues to grow and be more proactive than reactive. Arbor Day celebrations, Tree City USA awards and continued efforts to improve our community' s forest health are annual goals for our department, staff and resi dents. We look forward to increasing our canopy coverage, constantly improving our urban forest health and es tablishing a strong urban forestry program for our community.
