The long wait is over for your kids as officials from the City of Sturgeon Bay, Destination Sturgeon Bay, donors, and community members officially opened the Otumba Park playground. Families were not just greeted by an all-accessible playground with new equipment, but also food, music, and some of their favorite characters like Bluey and Princess Ariel. The groundbreaking for the park took place in April, but the fundraising for the nearly $500,000 started months ago. For the project’s fundraising leader Ashley Schanock, it means a lot to see eager children climbing on the equipment and playing with each other.

The new equipment has three distinct areas for children to enjoy when they come to the park to play.
