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 our archery range!

The archery range at Lions Park was built in 2014 by the Greenville Civic Club. The original design included a covered platform 12 feet off the ground along with ground level shooting on each side. During the fall of 2019, the Civic Club decided to make further improvements to the range and added two structures that cover the ground level shooting line on either side of the tower. These structures not only improve the safety of the range by preventing arrows from being shot upwards but also provide shade and protect archers from the elements.

Current amenities at the archery range include bow hangers, case rack, broken arrow bins, arrow quivers at the line, garbage cans and picnic tables. Target distances range from 10 to 50 yards. The range is open year round from 7:00am until dusk. It is open to all ages but children under the age of 14 must be supervised by an adult. A full list of rules can be found posted at the entrance gate.

Jennerjohn Parking Lot Closure

JENNERJOHN PARK PARKING LOT TO CLOSE AUGUST 30

Beginning August 30, the Jennerjohn Park access road and parking lot off of Rickey Lane will be closed while the road and parking lot is reconstructed. The trail access from Rickey Lane, as well as the rest of the park, will remain open during construction. Parking will still be available in the parking lot off of Meadowview Drive and along street on Rickey Lane.

The newly reconstructed parking lot will be slightly larger to accommodate more parking stalls and will include curb, gutter and storm sewer. By capturing the storm water and diverting it to the pond, we hope to improve some of the drainage issues within the park.

This project is expected to be complete in mid-October. If using the park during this time, please stay out of the construction site and give the crew plenty of room to work.

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 need your help in wishing our seasonal staff a farewell!

As another summer is coming to an end, we want to give a HUGE shout out to our seasonal employees! Over the course of the summer they have helped us with grounds and facility maintenance, mowing and trimming grass, painting, trash pickup, and SO much more! We may be bias, but we think we had some of the most ambitious, hardworking seasonal employees out there! Without their help, our summer would have been a lot less sunny.

Shelby is wrapping up her third and final summer with us here in the Parks and Rec Department. She is headed to her junior year at Northern Michigan University where she is majoring in secondary education for math. After school, she plans to become a college math professor. During work she enjoys the people she works with, mowing and being outdoors and in her free time she enjoys playing tennis, hiking, fishing, and spending time with friends. Shelby has been an amazing asset to our team and an absolute pleasure to work with. We sure are going to miss her!

Marcus is finishing his first summer with the Parks and Rec Department. He’s headed into his first semester at Milwaukee Technical College. After school, he hopes to play professional baseball. During work he enjoys driving the tool cat and eating lunch with his coworkers and in his free time he enjoys playing baseball and hunting.

This was Savanna’s first summer with us here in Greenville Parks and Rec as well. She is set to begin her sophomore year at University Wisconsin, Platteville for Forensic Investigation. After school she hopes to work in federal investigations. During work she enjoys getting to work on a variety or jobs and being outside. In her free times she enjoys reading, archery, kayaking, fishing, drawing and listening to music.

Help us as we say THANK YOU and goodbye to our seasonal employees!
