This presentation will also include a professional trail designer to help answer your questions about trail impacts.
The previous two meetings were well-attended. If you are able, please let us know you’re coming by responding to our Facebook event. We may be able to move the meeting to a location with a larger capacity if needed.

Project Background
Evergreen Park is a true gem within the heart of the City of Sheboygan, utilized in countless ways throughout its 107-year history as a city park. SCC would like to honor that history and ensure the park is accessible to as many park users as possible by revitalizing the trails within the park. We are partnering with the City of Sheboygan on a privately funded project to revitalize the hike/bike trails within Evergreen Park.
SCC worked with IMBA Trail Solutions (International Mountain Biking Association) to develop a plan to correct the current environmental damage and save the park from years of neglect while providing an inclusive park experience for all. The City of Sheboygan does not have a licensed trail crew or the expertise on staff to facilitate the sustainable trail redevelopment that the concept plan proposes.
The trails within Evergreen Park have been and will remain multi-use. The proposed improvements will likely result in a net reduction of trails in the park to ensure those that remain are right for the park. Years of use and new trails being cut resulted in a trail system that holds water for days in parts, wears heavily due to water washing the trail out in others, and a challenging trail user experience due to the overlapping and poorly signed nature of the park. We believe the city deserves a better park experience and are excited to volunteer our time and fundraise to make it happen!
