The City of Sheboygan has begun closing its parks for the season.
The Sheboygan Department of Public Works has announced that splash pads at Cleveland Park, End Park, Workers Park, and Optimist Park were officially turned off for the season yesterday (October 1st).
Then, on October 15th, all public park restrooms, open-air shelters, and fish cleaning stations will close, with the exception of restrooms at Shaw Park.
This is also when park amenities such as picnic tables, benches, and garbage cans will begin to be removed.
Finally, on November 1st, recreational amenities, including pickleball nets, tennis nets, and soccer nets, will be taken down, and all kayak launches will be removed from the water and stored for the winter.
Regarding the impending closures, the DPW explained, “The DPW and City leadership recognize the community’s strong appreciation for Sheboygan’s parks and recreational resources. This schedule is designed to keep parks accessible for as long as possible while ensuring staff have adequate time to properly winterize facilities, manage fall leaf collection, and complete final winter preparations.”
