Cottage Grove WI opens the new All Wheels Park at Bakken Park!

Skaters, bmxers, scooter riders, etc rejoice…. the newest facility in Dane County is now open for all to use and enjoy at Bakken Park. Congratulations to the Village of Cottage Grove for an amazing park, we thank you for trusting us along the journey. It was a true pleasure to work with all of the team (Cottage Grove Parks and Rec, Strand, Spohn Ranch) on a job well done!

Bakken Skate Park is still 'rollin' along despite winter weather.

Residents of the Village of Cottage are anxiously awaiting spring weather to arrive in Wisconsin to see the completion of the new skate park and pump track at Bakken Park. Even with temps below freezing, work continues to progress onsite. Last week the light fixtures arrived and were assembled in preparation for installation this week. Nothing says Happy New Year like a new set of MUSCO lights! Stay tuned for more updates as the weather breaks in the spring…. in the meantime, replace those bearings and grip tape on your boards!

Village Park in Menomonee Falls is now open!

Word on the street is that our new park improvements at Village Park are “way awesome”….Thank you to the 8 year old who volunteered that feedback, we quite agree. The Village of Menomonee Falls invited us to finish what we started and complete the vision for the full re-imagination of their main destination park in the downtown. This phase of the project added a fully inclusive playscape, lighted splashpad, tennis and pickleball courts, parking, pathways, and a new shelter. This builds on the prior phase which provided an amphitheater with great lawn, beer garden, restroom building, and plaza.

Congratulations to the Village and community members on the rebirth and opening of this amazing public space! Thanks for a great collaboration.
