Veterans Memorial Park 2021 Project

The Forest County Forestry and Recreation Department and the Forest County Board are excited to announce that we have partnered up with Flannery Contracting of Crandon, LLC for a large park improvement project taking place at Veterans Memorial Park!  Flannery Contracting and the Flannery Family have graciously offered time and material as a donation to ensure the park project results are nothing but the best.  

Some of the highlights for the project are:

• Remove and replace the existing asphalt around the park and parking lot, 
• Correct the drainage issue at the park, 
• Install dense graded base materials and crusher fines for camper parking areas,
• Install water and 50-amp electrical utility pedestals at the campsites, 
• Install new playground equipment, 
• New topsoil and restoration of campground,
• Painted and paved path for bikes on the side of the pavement and much more!

Due to the improvements, the park opening will be June or July 2021.  This is contingent on the weather this spring.

For any questions or concerns, please contact the Forestry and Recreation office at (715)- 478-3475 or carly@co.forest.wi.us.
