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 fun trail activity!

During the summer of 2019, The Boldt Company and United Way partnered together to donate one of their Born Learning Trails to our Greenville Lions Park.

Born Learning Trails provide the opportunity for parents and caregivers to engage children in literacy and language skills through interactive stations. The Born Learning Trail at Lions Park is located along the trail in front of the playground.

From start to finish, you’ll find 12 signs and corresponding paint on the ground below. First you’ll find a construction worker sign along with the United Way welcome sign. There are nine activity stations that follow. These stations promote movement, activity, learning and observation all disguised as fun little activities. At the end, you’ll find a Boldt Company dump truck (a perfect photo op!).

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 a little more about the trail system here in Greenville. 

The Greenville Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department currently maintains approximately 8 miles of paved multi-use recreational trails. The largest sections of paved trail can be found along Highway 76, Parkview Drive and Lily of the Valley Drive, while smaller sections can be found within several subdivisions. Most of this trail system is three season use but some portions are even maintained throughout the winter months for year round use. The department also maintains several gravel, grass and nature trails within our parks. You can find these type of trails at the Lions Park, Pebble Ridge Park, and around several of the stormwater ponds throughout Town.

While walking along the Greenville Trail System, you’ll find several amenities including waste containers, memorial trees and benches, Little Free Libraries, bike racks, and Dogi-Pot waste containers with both the bags and a waste containers. Many of our trails will lead you to, or even though, our parks allowing access to those amenities as well. Current park amenities include open play space, a covered shelter area, picnic tables, recreational courts, and playgrounds.

Greenwood Road Mailbox Update

A reminder for residents on Greenwood Road. The contractor in charge of the reconstruction project will be removing the temporary mailboxes installed for this project on the November 15, 2021.

The Village of Greenville will not be installing mailboxes along Greenwood Road. It is the responsibility of the resident, or the property owner, to install their own permanent mailbox.

Mailboxes should be installed on the same side of the street as previously located. You are able to install your mailbox at any time however, please keep in mind that if the restoration is not complete in front of your home, there is a possibility that the mailbox may be damaged by the contractor doing this work. It is the Villages recommendation that you install your mailbox after the restoration has been completed in front of your property. This would be when the straw mulch has been placed on the ground in front of your home.

Mailbox and installation guidelines are set by the US Postal Services. USPS gives the following helpful guidelines for correctly placing your mailbox:

• 
  
  Position your mailbox 41″ to 45″ from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry.
• Place your mailbox 6″ to 8″ back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance.
• Put your house or apartment number on the mailbox.
• If your mailbox is on a different street from your house or apartment, put your full street address on the box.

The best mailbox supports are stable but bend or fall away if a car hits them. The Federal Highway Administration recommends:

•  A 4″ x 4″ wooden support or a 2″-diameter standard steel or aluminum pipe.
• Avoid unyielding and potentially dangerous supports, like heavy metal pipes, concrete posts, and farm equipment (e.g., milk cans filled with concrete).
• Bury your post no more than 24″ deep.

Please contact the local post office if you have further questions about mailboxes or installation. More information can also be found on their website at https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm.

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's comes with great news: the Jennerjohn parking lot has been reopened!

Jennerjohn Park is a 25 acre park located in the heart of Greenville. As one of Greenville’s most popular parks, it has a lot to offer! It’s existing facilities include a pavilion, grills, picnic tables, casual play baseball field, tennis courts, off street parking, playground, Heritage Fountain, natural trails, and access to the recreational trail system. In the winter, there’s a sledding hill, ice skating rink and cross country ski trails.

Construction to the parking lot accessed from Rickey Lane began in September and wrapped up earlier this week. The parking lot was reconstructed to be more efficient for both parking and stormwater maintenance. The overall size of the parking lot was increased to accommodate 9 additional parking stall and stormwater facilities were installed to direct water to the pond.

Winter Parking Restrictions

With the cold weather arriving, the Village would like to remind residents of our winter parking restrictions.

Overnight parking is prohibited on all Village roads from November 15 through March 31, between the hours of 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. and at all times during snow emergencies. As stated in §290-26 of the Village's Municipal Code, violators of this ordinance may be ticketed or towed at the owners expense. 

The Public Works Department would also like resident cooperation throughout the winter months by not keeping vehicles on the streets when snow is expected. Plowing around parked vehicles can be dangerous and time consuming.

 Free radon test kits are available at Village Hall, W6860 Parkview Drive. Residents are required to pay for shipping of the test. Applications are available during normal business hours. This offer is available to Greenville residents only!

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 pretty special name change to one of our parks.

Did you notice that the name of Pebble Ridge Park recently changed? Last Saturday, October 30, we dedicated the park as the newly renamed James Wunderlich Park.

The park is named after James Wunderlich, who served on the Greenville Town Board from 1967 – 1997 and as Town Chair from 1971 – 1997. During his 30 years on the Board, James was instrumental in many important moments in the growth of Greenville including the airport moving to Greenville, the formation of Greenville’s own fire department, construction of the old Town Hall/Fire Station and construction of the current Town Hall. Greenville also formed the Sanitary District, bringing municipal water to residents, during his time on the Board. One of Mr. Wunderlich’s proudest achievements was the development of the Greenville Business Park. The park’s location, adjacent to the business park, makes it the perfect location to rename in honor of Mr. James Wunderlich. We learned during Saturday’s dedication that James’s son Bruce also used to play in the woods of the park as a child, catching frogs and building forts; activities still enjoyed by children today.

More than 50 people, including friends and family from across the country, Village staff, members of the Village Board, and members of Park Commission, all gathered as we remembered the contributions of James Wunderlich to the Greenville community. While his legacy lives on in so many parts of the community, James Wunderlich Park will forever bear his name as an honor to his commitment to community.
