Kewaskum to remove underused horseshoe pits at Kiwanis Park for park reconfiguration
Summary
Trustees approved removing horseshoe pits at Kiwanis Park to consolidate space for planned batting cages and other park improvements; the work is scheduled to begin in mid‑July and the motion passed unanimously.
Public works staff reported that several horseshoe pits at Kiwanis Park have not been used in eight to ten years and that the park layout is being reconfigured to add batting cages and picnic/trail improvements. Staff said they will remove several pits and fencing and work with any community groups that later request restored pits or a different location.
A trustee moved to remove the horseshoe pits and proceed with the batting‑cage plan; trustees seconded the motion and voted unanimously in favor. Staff said removal work would begin in mid‑July and that the village would consider relocating pits if a community group requests them in the future.
Why it matters: The change reallocates underused park space to amenities expected to serve more residents and visitors; the board approved the change with the understanding the village will work with community groups if interest in horseshoe play returns.
