Village of Slinger board discusses phase two plan for Breuer Park, flags funding limits
Summary
Board members reviewed a map for phase two of Breuer Park including a dog park, restrooms, pollinator garden, trails, fitness equipment, sports courts and a potential bike-path extension along Hwy 175; staff will update the map to reflect preferred trail and amenity placements and funding remains constrained.
The Village of Slinger Parks, Recreation & Forestry Board on Feb. 3 reviewed a phase two plan for Breuer Park that would add a dog park, a shed with restrooms, a pollinator garden, additional trails, fitness equipment, sports courts and a possible bike-path extension along Highway 175.
Director Tony Dobson, Parks, Recreation & Forestry Director, presented a map layout and led discussion about siting and amenities. Board members debated placement and configuration for trails, the pollinator garden and sports-court options while repeatedly noting that available funding will limit what can be built now.
The board and staff discussed connecting a bike-path extension to Hwy 175 and adding trails that would improve internal circulation and link to surrounding neighborhoods. Members also discussed including a dog-park area and locating restrooms in a small shed structure to serve users; Dobson said he would update the park map to show trail alignments, a pollinator garden, a shed with restrooms and sports court options.
Board members emphasized prioritizing amenities that provide broad community value while seeking cost-effective arrangements. No specific funding source or timeline was adopted during the meeting; Dobson indicated the map will be revised for future budget and grant discussions.
The board did not take a formal vote on a final phase-two design; next steps are for staff to provide an updated map and for the board to consider funding options at a later meeting.
