The FDL River Pedestrial Bridge - Segments Arrive

March 11, 2024

Our new pedestrian bridge over the Fond du Lac River has arrived!  The 5 segments of the bridge are all in the park.  

Below you will find a video that shows a segment coming in on a truck.  There are already two segments in place.  This third segment is then lifted in place by the crane.  

These thee segments are the the west side of the bridge.

New Playground

New Playground

March 11, 2024

The south playground (closest to the zip line) was replaced in late fall 2023. The new playground is a huge hit with the kids! There are many new features including multiple high tube slides, a giant chair and many innovative games to engage the mind as well at the body. 

This playground was designed and donated by BCI Burke. Burke products aren’t just for physical movement; they ignite cognitive, social, emotional and imaginative skill development in children of all abilities. The fusion of traditional and active-based events serves to create an environment where everyone can play and grow together. 
 

BCI Burke was founded in 1920. John Edward was a farmer in Fond du Lac, WI and farmed the land the Burke company headquarters stands on today. In 1920, he incorporated a weather-stripping company that quickly expanded to include the design and production of designer radiator furniture.

After receiving a request to fabricate a slide for a family friend, Burke entered the playground industry! Soon playground products were the company’s main focus. You can read more about BCI Burke at their website by clicking HERE.
