The city of Algoma is reminding residents to stay away from Peterson Park until at least Monday following storms that ripped through the area earlier this week.

Wind speeds of approximately 90 mph swept through the area as part of a series of storms that also knocked out power for hundreds of customers in Door and Kewaunee counties. City Administrator Matt Murphy said the storm was responsible for the loss of 60 to 80 trees at Peterson Park, which is also used by the Algoma School District for softball games and cross-country meets.

He said crews began cleaning up the area Wednesday afternoon and urged people to stay away until at least Monday so they can complete the work.

Murphy said the wood chips produced during the cleanup process will likely be blown back into the woods. The city will also begin collecting brush from other property owners who suffered storm damage on Monday.
