Whitefish Bay Little League Announces Improvements for Craig Counsell Park

Whitefish Bay Little League has devel- oped a long-term Master Plan for improvements to be made at Craig Coun- sell Park. The plan was approved by the Village Board February 17th. The goal is for improved aesthetics, better playing fields and increased safety. In- cluded in the plan are field improvements, a new drainage system, new fencing, new play area, upgrades to snack shack area seating, plantings, an access bridge from the JCC drive and a designated pickle area. Work will begin this spring and will include the installation of the drainage system, which is being partially paid for by a Sweetwater Grant. Craig Counsell Park will be one of the first public spaces in WFB to incorporate a rain garden as a storm water management tool.
