BREITUNG TWP- The Breitung recreation committee presented draft plans for upgrades to the skating rink, warming shack, parking lot, and playground at the special town board meeting on Nov. 10. The committee is planning a $500,000 project and will pursue funding from the DNR for $250,000 and the IRRR for $150,000, and seek funding from additional sources.
The project includes new hockey boards that will be built by township maintenance and volunteers, new rink and playground lighting, a garage addition to the warming shack, expansion of the warming shack by knocking down the wall between the warming area and current garage, expansion of the current bathroom to make it ADA accessible, a heating system for the shack, six additional playground swings, additional toddler-safe playground equipment, a paved parking lot, accessible picnic tables, a disc golf course, and additional landscaping.
A public meeting is being planned for community members to participate in planning. Please contact Stephanie Ukkola at 218-410-6001 or Matt Tuchel at 218-780-2560 for questions or comments on the project. Notice will be placed in The Timberjay once a date is set.
