INTRODUCTION

Context and Purpose
The City of Algoma Parks and Recreation Department is in great need of funding for
improved parks and recreational activities in the City of Algoma. With significant budget
cuts, due to the poor economy, and reduced local and state resources, there are fewer
resources for recreation, but more demand and interest by residents for new and
improved recreational activities than ever before. Thus, a Comprehensive Outoor
Recreation Plan (CORP) is essential grant eligibility.

Summary of Population, the Park System and Plan Layout

The population in the city is 3,128. The growth rate of the population from 2010-2020 was -
0.1% and the expected growth rate from 2020-2025 is projected to be -0.07%. Males
make up 49.1% of the population and females 50.9%. The population is spread among
1,397 households with an average household size of 2.20.

Currently, there are 45.33 acres of park land in the City. The national standard for park
acreage is 10 acres per 1,000. The City has 14.49 acres per 1,000. Considering the
population is not expected to grow and the City meets the national standard for park
acreage, there is no need for additional park space at this time. However, the City must
think about the number of parks available, the amenities available, and access to the
parks.

This Plan provides an overview of the park system, amenities, and a brief review of ADA
access concerns for each park. Additionally, the proposed planned projects are listed in
the Implementation and Recommendations section. The recommendations from the
community are also included in the Plan. While the City cannot accommodate all
recommendations and requests, because of the public engagement, the City does
have a list of community wants and needs for future planning.

Plan Process
Timeline

The Parks and Recreation Department began the CORP update in January 2021 and
completed the CORP with council approval in June 2021. The Parks and Recreation
Committee discussed the CORP at four public meetings. The Public meeting in April 2021
had opportunities for the public to engage at the meeting and online. The public could
engage online by providing input about their thoughts on the Goals and Priorities for the
parks in an online survey.

Public Input Summary
Survey

The Survey had 15 questions that asked about the frequency of use for the facilities, city
amenities, open-ended questions about amenities not available, accessibility issues, and
how new projects or maintenance should be paid for. The following is a summary of the
results. The full results are available in the Appendix.

A total of 176 persons took the survey. A majority of the respondents were female. Almost
half (45%) of the respondents did not have children. However, 38% of the respondents
had two to four children. The largest age bracket was ages 40 – 49 (25%), followed by 60
years old or older (21%), then the age range of 30 – 39 year olds (21%), 50-59 year olds
(15%), 21 to 29 years olds (14%), and 3% were under 20 years old.

Many survey respondents brought up the youth club space, the boardwalk, accessible
playground equipment, bathrooms, dog parks, splash pads, swimming pool, a selfie spot,
sculptures, sidewalks, trails, picnic areas, benches, and the beach. There were additional
comments which are included in the survey results section of this document. These survey
results were presented at the second community meeting to help rank community
priorities.

Community Meeting

A public workshop was held on April 19, 2021, at the Parks and Recreation Committee
meeting. There were four stations for the public to complete dot voting and provide their

Summary of Previous Plans and Relevant Plans
City of Algoma Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plans

The City of Algoma adopted its initial Outdoor Recreation Plan in 2005 for 2006 to 2011.
The City updated the Plan in 2013 with new objectives and actions. Moving forward,
future CORPs should list the accomplishments from the previous five years, which has
been done in this Plan.

Kewaunee County CORP (2021-2025)

The Kewaunee County CORP was completed in December 2020. The Plan has four
Goals:

 1. To provide quality active and passive outdoor recreational opportunities of
 various kinds for the residents of Kewaunee County and visitors to the area, now
 and in the future.
 2. To preserve and protect Kewaunee County’s natural resources and open spaces
 for the enjoyment of present residents and future generations.
 3. To prevent the overcrowding of land and water based recreational facilities in
 the county and to accommodate population increases.
 4. To plan new outdoor recreation facilities that accommodate public recreation
 needs, while recognizing the rights of private property owners, the need for
 safety, and the requirements of environmental protection.

State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP 2019-2023)

The Wisconsin Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is updated
by the Department of Natural Resources every five years to identify essential and
contemporary issues affecting outdoor recreation in the State and comply with the
Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. Each plan builds upon the
previous plan, with additions made in regards to political and national initiatives. The
plan is used to allocate funds among local communities while recognizing the need to
protect natural heritage and landscapes. Local communities are encouraged to see the
plan as a blueprint to plan for their park and recreation needs. The five overarching
goals for outdoor recreation include:

 1. Boost participation in outdoor recreation
 2. Grow partnerships
 3. Provide high-quality experiences
 4. Improve data to enhance visitor experiences and benefits
 5. Enhance funding and financial stability

PARK SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND PARK SUMMARY

Parks Classification
The National Recreational and Park Association (NRPA) established guidelines which
classified different park areas based on use, service area, size, and desirable site
characteristics. This classification system has been largely incorporated into this plan
utilizing the following selected definitions of types of parks considered most appropriate
for the City of Algoma. To better understand the inventory in this chapter, below are
several definitions. The following pages identify the parks and park classification for each
park.

Mini Parks: A mini park is a playground or space that offers the opportunity for parental
supervision of young children ages toddler through 12 years. It is generally 2500 sq. ft. to
1.5 acres. This type of park is generally a quarter to half acre per 1000 population. The
distance from population is less than a quarter mile unless it is a play lot incorporated into
a larger park. It can include play equipment, sand play areas, and play devices. This
type of park is often found in small geographic areas and sub-neighborhoods unless it is
incorporated into a larger park.

Neighborhood Parks: A neighborhood park offers greater outdoor space and recreation
to the immediate neighborhood it is located within. It serves all ages, particularly children
and their families. It is generally 5-25 acres and serves a population of 2,000 to 5,000
people. The distance from population is contingent on city zoning but optimally is near a
school or library and within pedestrian access. It can include parking, bike racks, trail
connections, restrooms, playground, picnic area, pavilions, grass area, and sports
facilities.

Community Parks: A community park is a multi-use recreation space with serves most or
all of the population. It is generally more than 25 acres, but can be a minimum of 15
acres. The distance from the population is generally 2-5 miles. Community parks are used
for organized and unstructured field sports, outdoor performances, walking/biking, and
special events. It can include a community center, restrooms close to high use areas,
parking lot, picnic area, park maintenance storage, concessions, playgrounds, and
recreational facilities such as fields, courts, nets, and trails.

Special Use Areas: A special use park serves to offer a space for a particular sport or
activity such as festivals, sports, plays, ethnic celebrations, or special
events/programming. These parks can be a source of revenue. The size of special use
parks varies depending on the intended use. There generally are no age requirements or
limitations.

While not a traditional park facility, the Algoma Community Building is regarded by the
city and community as an indoor extension of the City’s park system. The building is
home to the Algoma Youth Club which not only provides a safe space for children’s
activities, but also a space for the young at heart to utilize.

ADA Accessibility
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects the promise of equal opportunity by
prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It is estimated that 19% of
the American population have a disability. It is also expected that as the Baby Boomer
population ages, many will acquire age-related disabilities. It is important to provide
accessible facilities to allow all residents the opportunity to use and enjoy each facility.

For the purposes of this CORP, guidelines for Public Accommodations (Title III) will be used
as the basis for the ADA review of each park facility. While not all amenities require ADA
accommodations, it is best practice to provide accessible facilities everywhere it is
practicable. Each park summary contains ADA information and a brief statement on the
ADA accessibility of the park. Further analysis would need to be completed for a
thorough analysis of park accessibility.

IMPLEMENTATION/RECOMMENDATIONS

Action Program General Recommendations
The following recommendations are generally applicable to all communities. The
planned improvements are listed in the next section, Annual Budget.

 Service Group Involvement
 Involve organized service groups in needed park and recreation development,
 including development of competitive sports areas and neighborhood parks.
 Traditionally, service groups have played an active part in the development of
 facilities such as ball fields. Continued activity of this type should be encouraged. In
 addition, service groups could help to meet the need for neighborhood facilties by
 supplementing municipal financial resources and providing organization and
 volunteer labor.

 Senior Citizen Involvement
 As more seniors stay active later in life than previous generations, and choose to
 “age in place” in their homes rather than in assisted living or nursing homes, it is more
 important than ever to provide amenities and accommodations for them as part of a
 well-rounded park system. Although senior citizens constitute a large proportion of
 the population of rural areas, they are often neglected in recreational planning.
 Accessible walking paths with frequent shaded resting spots provide a nice amenity
 for all ages, and can help improve park safety as different user groups will use such
 an amenity at different times of day. Providing accessible routes to popular park
 destinations, such as shelters, picnic areas, and playgrounds, ensures that anyone
 with or without mobility issues can enjoy these areas. Benches placed near
 neighborhood parks and play areas and passive sports facilities, such as horseshoe
 pits, located in community parks help to provide a place for the senior citizen. Small
 passive-use parks and garden and flower plots, located near nursing and retirement
 homes, should also be encouraged. In addition, senior citizens can provide
 invaluable assistance in beautifying parks and open spaces and can thereby
 become more involved in community life.

 Municipal/School District Cooperation
 Promote continued and increased cooperation between the City, Kewaunee
 County, and the school district in meeting recreational needs. With good planning,
 cooperation may take the form of cost sharing for land acquisition and/or facility
 development. Increased municipal use of existing school facilities during non-school
 hours should be encouraged.

23 | C i t y o f A l g o m a C O R P

 Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance
 With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, local governments must
 ensure that all programs and facilities, including parks and recreation, are accessible
 to people with disabilities. ADA applies not only to people in wheelchairs or with
 vision and/or hearing impairment, but also to those with mental impairments,
 temporary disabilities, walkers, canes, the elderly, and parents with strollers or small
 children. To determine compliance with ADA regulations, each community should
 complete a self-evaluation of the accessibility of services, programs, and facilities
 and prepare a transition plan describing how compliance will be achieved. A person
 with training in accessibility standards should be consulted to assist with the
 evaluation and transition plan.

 All proposed facilities should incorporate standards for barrier-free design. Specific
 areas include: parking, entrances, doorways, aisles, counters, restrooms, water
 fountains, access routes, picnic tables and grills, trails, campgrounds, playgrounds,
 and fishing piers. Examples of accessible features include: ramps in place of steps,
 hard surfaced walkways, wide doorways, grab rails in restrooms, special seating at
 spectator events and specialized playground equipment, wider parking spaces and
 curb cuts, picnic tables with ends extended, lower grill heights and wider trails. Care
 also needs to be taken to provide accessible routes between parking areas and
 destinations, meaning no slopes that exceed 8%, rest areas for sloped paths every
 30’, and guard rails where paths drop off abruptly at the edge.

 Development and maintenance of parks is an appropriate function of city
 government. Overall planning should be done by the City Parks and Recreation
 Committee, the City Planning Commission, and the City Council. Specific site
 planning and scheduling of development or desired non-development should be
 decided with strong input by neighborhoods and interest groups. Strong input by
 residents is necessary for any successful development to occur.

 The City’s park, recreation, and open space planning process should be coordinated
 with the city's comprehensive planning effort.

 The City should make maximum use of federal and state grant opportunities to help
 with land acquisition efforts and the development of park and recreation
 improvements.

ANNUAL BUDGET
This section of the plan is designed to serve as a guide over the next five years to assist
the City of Algoma in charting the course of future park and recreation facility
development. The Algoma Capital Improvements Program (CIP) follows on the next
page. The CIP not only prioritizes each facility as to which year the improvement will take
place (during the five year period), it also provides an estimate of what the cost will be
for each improvement (in 2021 dollars).

It is important to realize that the CIP is only a summary of estimated costs based on
current year figures. Project costs will be examined more closely when a particular
improvement plan is being developed. It is recommended that this portion of the plan
be updated on an annual basis by city personnel, with input from the City Park and
Recreation committee. Changes will be made that reflect changing user trends, citizen
interest, and City budget considerations. Before capital improvement projects are
undertaken, park committee members, with citizen input, should:

1. Analyze all proposed projects and determine priorities each year;

2. Determine cost estimates for each development project; and

3. Determine project budgetary limitations and potential funding sources.

The City Park and Recreation committee is hopeful that a number of the recommended
improvements to the city parks can be carried out with financial assistance from the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources under the LAWCON and Stewardship Fund
cost-sharing programs. At the same time, however, the city recognizes that a
considerable investment will also be required at the community level if the
recommendations discussed in this plan are ever going to be carried out. The CIP
provides a good indication of what level of assistance is going to be required during any
particular year in the planning period. The Appendix provides funding resources.

DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING REGION & CITY OF ALGOMA

Size
Kewaunee County is 342.52 square miles and is located in eastern Wisconsin. There is an
average of 60.1 persons per square mile. A little more than one third of the population
lives in Algoma and Kewaunee. The largest city in the county is Algoma with a
population of 3,128. The city of Kewaunee is the county seat with a population of 2,858.

Population Trend
The population in the city is 3,128. The growth rate of the population from 2010-2020 was -
0.1% and the expected growth rate from 2020-2025 is projected to be -0.07%. Males
make up 49.1% of the population and females 50.9%. The population is spread among
1,397 households with an average household size of 2.20.

 C i t y o f A l g o m a C O R P | 26

Age
The median age in Algoma is 45. The majority of
the residents are between the ages of 57 and 75
(26.1%). Those aged 5 years old to 22 years are
the next highest percentage of the population
(19.9%).

Employment/Unemployment
The estimated number of community members working is 1,588 persons. A total of 30% of
workers are older than 55 years old. Those age 29 and younger make up 24% of the
employed persons living in the City. Those with a high school degree make up 28% of the
population; those with some college for an associate’s degree make up 26% of the
population; those with a bachelor’s degree comprise 14% of the population.

Income
The median household income for the city is $45,465 which is less than the State’s median
household income of $64,168. The median value of owner occupied housing is $116,154.

Of those employed, 27.9% work in manufacturing. Approximately 13% work in Health
Care and social assistance. Retail Trade employees make up 12.5% of those employed.

Topography
Forest makes up approximately 13-14% of the county with the most common trees being
hard maple, oak, and aspen. The primary minerals are sand and gravel. The terrain varies
from primarily level to sloping, and is best described as gently rolling.

Water Resources
Groundwater is available from the Niagara dolomite aquifer. Cracks provide an avenue
for water to enter drilled wells, though the quality tends to be very hard. Sand and gravel
aquifer provides a water source for the south-central county. Surface water is
abundantly available from Green Bay and Lake Michigan.

There are five major watersheds in Kewaunee County: Red River drains to the west into
the bay of Green Bay, Kewaunee and Ahnapee Rivers drain southeast into Lake
Michigan, Scarboro Creek drains the west-central county, Buck and Twin Creeks drain
the southern county, and numerous small creeks drain the eastern part of the county.

27 | C i t y o f A l g o m a C O R P

Climate
Kewaunee County’s climate is greatly tempered by Lake Michigan and Green Bay. The
extremely high and low temperatures are moderated. The cool waters of the lake tend
to delay the last freeze of Spring (avg. May 4th) and the warm water from the Summer
tends to delay the first freeze of Fall (avg. Oct. 12). The growing season tends to be
approximately 188 days. The average temperature in the winter months of December,
January, and February is 22.3 degrees F. In summer (June, July, August), the average
temperature is 66.3 degrees F.

The annual precipitation of 31 inches falls May through September. There are
thunderstorms approximately 34 days of the year. Snowfall is 45.2 inches on average per
year with the average first snowfall being December 2nd. Summer humidity data is
replicated from Green Bay with averages of 60 percent by day and 85 percent by night.

Soils
Two glacial sub stages, Cary and Valders, created the drift mantle in the County. The
period of time between these sub stages created the forests. The dominant soil type in
Algoma is clay loam. The soils formed in the Cary sub stage include yellowish brown sand
and gravel or brown loam. Soils that formed in the Valders sub stage are reddish-brown
loam or clay loam.

Flora and Fauna
Vegetation found in the Northern Lake Michigan Coastal Landscape includes 60% non-
forested land. This land is primarily agriculture with the remaining portions being
grassland, wetland, shrubland, and urbanized land.

Forest lands are primarily maple-basswood with lowland hardwoods, aspen-birch, and
lowland conifers making up the rest. Many rare plants are found along the beach due to
the alkaline soil properties.

Most of Kewaunee County is used for agriculture (76.7%), with 13% forested, 8% wetlands
and 4.4% residential development. There are 26 rivers/streams and 15 inland lakes.

Additional Park Types Not Considered in Algoma CORP
School Parks:

A school park is a cooperative relationship park system between two public
organizations. The purpose is to offer more cost-effective recreational and educational
opportunities to community members with minimal resources. Clearly defined usage
agreements make school parks work efficiently. The size of a school park is based on
community needs and city/school planning. These parks are generally for school age
children, though adults may have minimal use as well.

County Parks:

County parks are a result of land that is reserved for recreational purposes for residents
living in the county. These parks may also include historical and natural areas. County
parks generally are a minimum of 100 acres and may include recreational trails,
camping, shelters, restrooms/showers, playgrounds, ballfields, fishing/swimming, and pet
areas. Tourists and visitors also benefit from facilities and events within county parks.

State Forests:

State forests offer diverse recreational opportunities to large portions of a region and
state. These forests provide nurturing of ecosystems and sustainable forestry which
benefits state economics and health. State forests can include various types of trails,
camping sites, and other components specific and unique to the region. The size of state
forests is generally 1,000 to 250,000 acres and can serve a large population within the
state.

State Parks:

State parks offer education in local natural resources and conservation along with
recreation. Both active and passive recreation are offered in a state park and can
include biking, camping, various trails, swimming/fishing, picnic areas, parking and
playgrounds. There is no size limit for a state park. The parks unique characteristics
determine recreational uses, facilities, programming, and size.
