Comprehensive Parks Plan Update, 2024

Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Update

The Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (Parks Plan) update will address the status of the recommendations from the 2015 plan, assess the existing recreational spaces system, identify areas of improvement, and propose strategies and initiatives to address those needs. This plan will serve as a roadmap for the future development, management, and improvement of parks, ensuring they meet the evolving needs and desires of the Shorewood community.

Many thanks to the members of the Parks and Public Spaces Committee who attended this meeting to discuss their contributions through their volunteer committee membership. Thank you too for helping the Village get the word out about this outreach opportunity!

Village Staff representing the three concurrent Parks and Public Spaces initiatives (Atwater Park Site Circulation Plan, the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan) hosted a town hall meeting at the Village Center lower level meeting room on Thursday, April 4 so folks could see what was coming up and how they could lend their voice to the process. Below are the resources that were provided at the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan table. If you have questions about any of the plans, please feel free to contact Assistant Village Manager Chris Anderson at canderson@shorewoodwi.gov.
