You will be able to experience new and significant improvements at the John Miles Park in Sturgeon Bay this season.  The park hosts the annual Door County Fair and is in the process of installing a new band shelter.  Door County Parks Manager Tim Kazmierczak says a great lineup of events is planned this year, with the new 40 by 60-foot pavilion being completed in the next few weeks.  Kazmierczak notes that Door County Parks & Facilities Director Wayne Spritka was able to procure funds from the Am Vets Post 51, the Railbrook Foundation, and other donors to see the project through to fruition.

 Last year, the Door County Parks installed a new ADA-accessible, intergenerational, impact-resistant flooring playground for about $250,000.  Youth soccer leagues and tournaments will utilize the park this summer and fall, and over 500 kids will participate.  Other planned events at the park include the annual Century Ride in September and the Scenic Shore 150 this fall, which raised $2 million for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society last year.  John Miles Park will host the stock car races at the Hill Raceway again this year, with ten scheduled events through the end of August.
