Our 2024 Ornament featuring the new Lakeside Park pedestrian bridge!

Our new pedestrian bridge over the Fond du Lac River makes it possible for everyone to access and enjoy ALL of Lakeside Park. A bridge between the two parks was one of the top recommendations in the 2015 Lakeside Park Exploratory Committee recommendations. In 2020 the City Council voted to study putting the bridge in. The 2021 City Council approved the project and bridge construction started in the fall of 2023. The bridge opened in May of 2024.
