APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) â The City of Appleton hopes to get area residentâs opinions on how best to develop Lundgaard Park.
The park, sitting next to Fire Station #6, where Mitch Lundgaard worked, will be developed over the next few years, and an open house will be held later this month where the public can weigh in on what theyâd like to see.
âSome ideas that have been tossed around are a pickleball court, a basketball court,â said Dean Gazza with the City of Appletonâs Parks, Recreation, and Facilities department. âAn open play space for kids to just play soccer, or throw a frisbee, or kick a ball.â

Question: Why did Appleton select a firm from Chicago to design the new library? It seems to me that we would want to keep the money in northeast Wisconsin rather than send it out of state.
Answer: Appleton received proposals from 11 architects or architectural teams for the design of its $26.4 million public library, and none of them was strictly local.
Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction of Appleton was part of one proposal, partnering with Gensler of Chicago and Mead & Hunt of Wauwatosa, but the trio wasn t among the three finalists. Hoffman has some library experience with schools, but they don t have that high-level library experience, so they were teaming up with Gensler for the library expertise, project manager Dean Gazza said.
