Village parks and trails, including the Heritage Parkway Trail, are still open
. Please do not utilize them if you are experiencing any symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19). While staying at home is the safest, open spaces provide physical health benefits. When you use park green space and trails, please practice social distancing of at least six feet and do not congregate in groups of 10 or more. Avoid touching any surfaces. Carry your own hand sanitizer with you.
Restroom facilities are not available at any of the parks.
Avoid touching your face, and sneeze/cough into a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Place all garbage in park trash receptacles. If you are sick, please stay home. By minimizing non-essential contact, we can help slow the spread of COVID-19 within our village.
Please be aware that the Village has closed all playgrounds, as well as the skatepark, in compliance with Wisconsin Governor Evers' "Safer At Home" order.

We often receive calls asking what our village policy is in regards to having animals on park property. Per Village Ordinance Sec. 32-1(20), animals are not permitted onto park property
with the exception of leashed dogs on roads, paved trails, or chipped or gravel paths.
Dogs are not allowed on playgrounds, athletic fields, picnic areas, lawns or in park shelters.
Dogs must be secured on a leash, display current rabies tag and current registration tags, stay under control of their owner/walker, and all waste must be immediately picked up and disposed of.
This subsection shall not apply to certified guide dogs.
