Providing a space for you and your neighbors to enjoy is the goal of the vision being unveiled this month for the athletic complex across the street from Sturgeon Bay High School. After getting its viewing at the Sturgeon Bay School District Board meeting last week, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council will get its first look at the plans at Tuesday’s meeting. The plan calls for more than just new baseball, softball, and football fields for Sturgeon Bay High School students. The public-private partnership will also see pickleball courts, a fitness circuit, multi-use trails, pavilions, and more dot the property with parcels owned by the city and the school district. City Administrator Josh VanLieshout says the plan is ambitious, but it offers something for everybody to enjoy and checks off many boxes for residents who took surveys and attended open houses about the project.

If the Sturgeon Bay Common Council approves the master plan on Tuesday, VanLieshout says that will set the stage for engineering, additional planning, and bidding. He does not expect construction to take place until 2027 or 2028. You can learn more about the project before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. meeting at Sturgeon Bay City Hall here.
