Parks & Open Space Plan 2017-2021

Parks and conservation lands are valuable attributes of a community. Outdoor recreation contributes to the mental and physical well-being of the community’s citizens. Developed park lands provide areas for active recreation, entertainment, and education. Conservation lands provide natural resource preservation, wildlife habitat, outdoor education and passive recreational activities. Parks and conservation areas both provide transition and separation from more intensively developed lands.

Objectives

• Provide for quality active and passive outdoor recreational opportunities of various kinds to all current and future Muskego residents of all ages and abilities
