Fond du Lac Holds Ribbon Cutting For Two More Parks

The City of Fond du Lac will be holding two more ribbon-cutting ceremonies in city parks next week.

The two events will take place on Monday, showcasing enhancements at Franklin Park and Adelaide Park. Both ceremonies will feature remarks from City Manager Joe Moore, City Council President Keith Heisler and Parks Superintendent John Redmond.

The first event will kick off at 9:00 a.m. at Franklin Park, near the intersection of 9th street and Military Road where a significant transformation was made possible by a $250,000 grant through the American Rescue Plan Act. Substantial upgrades, include the expansion of the playground, a mural gracing the park’s perimeter fence and newly decorated basketball hoops.

Attention then shifts to Adelaide Park at 479 west Arndt Street near Parkside Elementary School where a 10 AM ceremony will focus on the newly installed pickleball courts,
allowing Fond du Lac residents to partake in one of the nation’s fastest-growing activities. Adelaide Park will feature six permanent pickleball courts, accounting for two-thirds of the City’s nine courts, as well as one multi-use court on a newly refurbished tennis court. Representatives from local pickleball clubs will be in attendance.

The two ribbon cuttings come just two weeks after the city held a ribbon cutting for the reopening of Plamore Park where new playground equipment and a baseball field
were showcased.
