Ball fields planned for Summit park

This land has been sitting empty for the past 8 years. I am glad they are finally going to do something with it.  I am sure the neighborhood (Genessee Lake Farms) to the south of this park will be happy as well.  What do you think? With so many parks in the Oconomowoc area, will this park be used?  If you are not familiar with the area. The park is located at the corner of Genesee Lake rd and N Dousman rd.  For more information on the parks in the town of Summit visit http://www.summittown.org/town_parks/     or the Waukesha county park system  http://www.waukeshacounty.gov/page.aspx?SetupMetaId=7588&id=90

Town of Summit — The recently constructed sledding hill in Genesee Lake Road Park was a hit last winter with area residents, and now the park is equipped for summer fun too.

Administrator/Planner Henry Elling said the town recently completed installation of playground equipment at the park. The equipment is partially new and was funded by a community development block grant. Part of the equipment may look a bit familiar, as it was originally at Summit School. Elling said that when the school was torn down, the equipment that was still up to code was donated to the town.

Elling called the recent installation of the playground Phase 3 of the park project.

The town purchased 78 acres of farmland off Genesee Lake Road in 2002 in anticipation of eventually building a park. Elling said an initial park plan was put together in 2004 to get approval to put in a driveway and parking area, which he said was Phase 1. The idea for the sledding hill came up during that phase of work. The hill was able to be constructed at a faster pace after concrete, soil and other debris removed from Wisconsin Avenue in the City of Oconomowoc during its reconstruction in 2008 was donated to the park as fill for the hill. Elling said the hill would have been constructed over four years if it had not been for the donated “fill” from the road reconstruction project.

After giving the hill a year to settle, the 40-foot-tall sledding hill was open for public use last winter and used extensively, Elling said in a previous interview.

On June 3, the Town Board approved grading in the park to construct three baseball diamonds and Elling said there also is the potential for three soccer, football or rugby fields.

Elling said he’s looking for recreational groups that would be interested in using the fields. The fields won’t be complete until 2011, but he said the town would like to meet with interested groups and begin organizing their use of the fields.

“Representatives of these organizations can call me at Town Hall,” Elling said. The Summit Town Hall phone number is (262) 567-1721.

The board also approved installation of electrical service to the park. Elling said this clears the way for the eventual installation of security lighting and irrigations systems. He said a formal grand opening for the park is anticipated for August. The playground is open for use, but Elling noted that starting the week of June 10, there may be fences around it, as the grading work will begin in the adjacent area and last through July.

“You’ll be able to get there, but during the day it might be a bit dusty,” he said.

By next spring, Elling said 50 of the park’s 78 acres will be made into a park setting.
