You will see trucks and other equipment from the Sister Bay Parks Department pulling into duty from a new location in the future. The village broke ground on the new 11,400-square-foot facility last week at 2160 Autumn Court, located near the Sister Bay Sports Complex and its adjacent dog park. The building replaces its current 7,500-square-foot building, which has already lived a previous life as the village's fire station. The current facility was deemed to be in irreparable condition and was better placed somewhere else in the village. Village Administrator Julie Schmelzer said last month that it is just part of the several capital projects being planned in Sister Bay, including its future village hall.

Located next to the current Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Station on Mill Road, the current parks department building will be razed and could be the future home of the village's new post office and parking. An existing storage building at the site will be relocated to make room for the new facility.
