The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about a project we recently completed. Have you wondered about the work near the Highway 76 trail tunnel?

This work was to replace the existing 24” HDPE plastic culverts. These culverts were failing and heaving through the pavement causing a safety issue. This is a common issue with plastic culverts due to frost cycles. Two 24” concrete culverts were installed to help prevent future failures and the asphalt pavement was replaced to provide a smooth surface.

The tunnel under HWY 76 connects the trail system that runs along Municipal Drive from the Greenville Lions Park to Jennerjohn Park. This section of trail is often used to access the YMCA and Greenville Middle school.

The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about Elder Brook Park. Does anyone know what this park used to be named?

 
Formally known as Glen Valley Park, Elder Brook is an 8.5 acre park that features a walking trail, open play space, retention pond, and on street parking. The name was changed last year to reflect the school that once sat on that property. Parts of the school house foundation can still be seen in the wooded southeast corner of the park.

 
According to a report done by John Richards at UW-Milwaukee:
“The Elder Brook School site harbors the remains of the School District No. 3 Schoolhouse and is located in Greenville Township, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. The land on which the school was constructed was deeded as a school house property in 1854 but the earliest available plat maps of the township dates to 1873. This map depicts a school on the property. However, it is likely that the original construction occurred in 1854 or soon thereafter as free public education was mandated by Wisconsin’s state constitution six years earlier in 1848. By 1937 state-wide compliance with Wisconsin’s law resulted in the creation of 7,777 school districts with 6,181 one-room schools (Apps 1996:177). State mandated consolidation efforts reduced that number to 2,289 one-room schools in 1959 but as late 1964, 595 one-room schools remained in operation; 20 of these were located in Outagamie County (Rothwell 1963). Today, Wisconsin has 424 public school districts with 2,215 schools, none of which are operating one-room school houses. A standing structure on the Elder Brook school site is last visible on a 1943 aerial photo but is no longer present on a 1957 aerial photo of the site.”

The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about the playground at Jennerjohn Park.

The playground at Jennerjohn Park is the biggest, and probably most popular, park playground here in Greenville. There are three different playground areas to choose from. A sand area is located furthest north and is about 1,800 square feet in size. It includes two diggers – one for standing and one for sitting – and a metal fire truck for “driving” and climbing.

The sand area and fire truck are originals to play ground but, in 2005 a community build replaced one single playground with the two that are currently there. One of the playground areas is designed for children ages 2-5 and is approximately 3000 square feet in size. It includes equipment to slide, climb, ride, and swing. The other is designed for ages 5-12 and offers much of the same play opportunities but on a higher skill level. That area is approximately 5000 square feet in size.

Other activities to enjoy while playing at the park include a ball diamond, open play space, tennis courts, the Heritage Fountain and access to the trail system. The covered pavilion offers public restroom and when not rented, shade and picnic tables as well. You’ll even find activities here in the winter months when we have our sledding hill, ice rink and ski trial!

The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to share our Pebble Ridge Park with you!

Pebble Ridge Park may seem like just another small neighborhood park but with 13 acres, it has a lot to offer! The playground was designed for kids of all ages and has equipment to climb, slide, hang and swing. Next to the playground there is a picnic area and plenty of large open play space. A beautiful prairie overlooks the retention pond and on street parking allows for easy access to all areas of the park.

Walking trails run throughout the park and provide many different views. You can walk through a wooded area, part of the prairie and along the retention pond. In August of 2019, approximately 1,600 feet of 8 foot wide trail was paved to provide a cleaner, safer surface for users. Prior to paving, the trail was all gravel and frequently washed out, creating low spots. The paved segment branches off to align with both entrances of the woods on either side of the prairie. The wooded section of the trail remains gravel. The whole trail is approximately one half mile.
