The former park area was a partially wooded hillside with a high retaining wall near the intersection.  The hillside was extremely difficult to maintain (invasive plants) and erosion from rain and snow was a continuous problem.  Re-grading the entire hillside and installation of a lower retaining wall in 2007, provided enough 'green space' to consider a new park.    

The concept plan for this new Ozaukee County Park includes the development of a native landscape, the management of storm water, the development of public access in the form of a deck, platform and/or stairs, and the provision of educational signage discussing the features and benefits of the native landscape.
