One innovative solution to improve the experience of campers and park goers is the proposed purchase of a log splitter. Thanks to the hardworking parks team for proposing the idea of splitting logs on-site and selling firewood at campgrounds to reinvest in park operations.
The County is ready to move forward with a new facility for Quarry Lake, requesting $3 million to take the next step in the Quarry Lake and Pritchard Park projects. When the Pritchard Park concepts were conceived, it was a multi-year and multi-phase project, and the development of additional parking and redevelopment of a baseball diamond is the next step.
Another capital investment proposed in the 2023 budget is a splash pad in the Village of Union Grove. The splash pad would provide a recreational opportunity for youth on the west end.
Over the last eight years, Racine County parks have undergone a renaissance. They serve as a great attraction for tourism and an asset as new workers and families continue relocating to Racine County.
