Mequon-Thiensville Park Petition
Let your voice be heard. Persuade City Council to preserve the city's publically-owned civic campus from privatization. And, support a philanthropic Park Proposal. The site is adjacent to the only park within the developing Town Center zone, formerly the Logemann Center on Mequon Road.
Why is this important?
*The petition opening cannot be edited. The property under debate is the 0.99 acre where Logemann Center sits. The rest of the civic campus would still be owned by the City.
Why Starting this Petition:
In order to enhance the economic and social vitality of our community, we support a philanthropic park proposal by a group of long-time Mequon city developers and prominent area businessmen. Plans focus on enhancing and modernizing the pool and refurbishing the baseball field.
Tentative plans include:
-Aquatic park with a zero-depth pool, lap pool, splash pad, water slides, and, a special program party area
-Multipurpose Sports Field including baseball and soccer field
-Concession booth
-Event performance stage
-Lawn terrace
-Grandstand seating
Oppose a former alderman's (who recently left office April 2016) proposal to build a 7000 sq.ft, sports restaurant/pub in a portion of the existing Logemann building footprint, THUS PREVENTING ANOTHER LAND SALE OF 0.99 acre of PRIME MEQUON PROPERTY to a private citizen.
