GREENHECK TURNER
COMMUNITY CENTER
PROJECT VISION
The Greenheck Turner Community Center at D.C.
Everest is a $29M, 135,000sq ft indoor artificial turf
facility that accommodates a wide variety of user
groups by having a full size field, track, jump pit, batting
cages and golf area. This includes but is not limited to
youth and high school activities of soccer, football,
lacrosse, softball, baseball, golf, track & field, band and
dance. It also will have the ability to host tournaments,
camps, community events and individual user groups.
This year-round facility will be located on the campus
of the D.C. Everest Area Senior High School.
OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT
Once completed, this facility will be professionally managed and
operated by Greenheck Fieldhouse Community Services which is
a branch of the D.C. Everest Area School District. . Currently,
community services has 3 gymnasium courts, a fitness center, ice
arena, and youth programming that it operates. Having the
existing community services structure, personnel and operating
procedures in place will ensure the additional facility will be
scheduled, programmed and maintained to industry standards.
FACILITY FUNDING
The D.C. Everest Area Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization, is leading the fundraising effort. All
funds will be privately contributed - no public money from
the district or taxes will be used for the capital campaign.
Once in operation, the facility will run at cost via facility use
fees for user groups. Any individual or entity may rent the
space for their desired use - just as Greenheck Fieldhouse
currently operates.
TIMELINE
Fundraising started in 2021 and will continue through 2022 and into 2023 or until all funds have been secured.
Construction will begin once 100% funding is eminent.

IMPACT
The GTCC will fill community and regional needs for year-round surfaces to enhance the
health and wellness of all ages. It will accommodate a wide variety of user groups by having
a full-size field of a minimum of 120 yards by 70 yards that can be divided into spaces
suitable for rental by user groups. It will be the only full-sized facility within a 90 mile radius.
Because there are no other comparable facilities nearby, it is projected many regional
teams, competitors and events will be hosted in addition to local persons.
The GTCC Committee has met with local sports clubs and organizations who have
expressed their support for the project and are eager to rent and use the facility. Weekend
tournaments, games, events and festivals will attract people regionally and statewide.
The projected number of visits to the facility are around 25,000
with at least 15% of those visits originating from outside a 50-mile
radius; visits for each of the next five years are expected to
average a 5% increase. An overnight visitor averages $178 spent
in the area they are visiting according to Travel Wisconsin. This
25,000
would mean a positive tourism impact of nearly $700,000 from
overnight visitors. That, along with the additional economic
impact of local and day visitors, it is projected the GTCC will
Visits
generate over $1 million additional economic impact each year
to the area.
It is projected the months of October-April will see the largest volume of visits from youth
sports groups and adult and youth leagues, who will host clinics, games, leagues and
tournaments for competitors.

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Public Mtg/Date: Joint Meeting of Park & Recreation Committee and
Plan Commission – 9/12/2022
Description: Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Update
(CORP) and Master Plans for Kennedy and Prohaska
Parks.
From: Shawn Osterbrink, Director of Parks, Recreation &
Forestry
Jen Higgins – Director of Planning and Development
Question: Should the Park and Recreation Committee and Plan
Commission recommend moving forward with the
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Update and
Master Plans for Kennedy and Prohaska Parks?
Background
The Village budgeted funds to complete an update to the CORP in 2022 as the
current CORP expired in 2021. The Village’s current CORP was adopted in
October of 2016 and has two sections within the Parks and Recreation Chapters
of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. This comprehensive planning document will
provide a clear 5-year plan for the Village of Weston Park System and provides a
basis for decision making regarding development and redevelopment of parks,
trail connections, recreational opportunities, and funding. This plan is also an
eligibility requirement for the Village seeking parkland acquisition and
development funding through State and Federal Funding. If the Village would like
to start developing the Prohaska property or other areas and want to apply for
grants the CORP will need to be updated.
There are a couple of reasons that the Park Master Plans need to be considered.
The Village met with DC Everest Youth Baseball earlier this year as they are
proposing several projects at Kennedy Park. During this discussion the Park and
Recreation Committee commented that a plan needs to be provided based on
these requested improvements. Since the park is a Village Park this plan is
something that the Village should complete so the improvements align with the
use and layout of the park. The Village also met with other stakeholders in the
community to discuss an overall plan for baseball and softball facilities in the
area. We found out that there are needs for additional facilities and improvements
by both the youth softball and baseball and the school district.
Besides the information from these groups the planning for Kennedy Park will
also help determine if the current uses of the park make sense, if other uses
should be considered, improvements that should be made along with other
decisions the Village are currently discussing. Like should the Village continue
offering outdoor ice skating, if the current use for the buildings at Kennedy make
REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
sense, if it makes sense to retain any or all these buildings, if there are better
uses for them or should they be removed.
The Prohaska Master Plan has been considered for quite a while. The property
was purchased to develop a park and the Village has owned it since 2016. The
original ideas for development of this park were for it to be mostly passive use
with support facilities, not for organized sports. This would include walking and
biking trails, fishing piers on the ponds and support facilities like restrooms,
parking lot, shelter, and a playground. Does this make sense or are there other
ways this property should be developed? Having a master plan on how this park
will be developed will also be useful when applying for funding for development.
Development of this park was also specifically mentioned during discussion for
the recent park impact fee that was approved.

INTRODUCTION
The Village of Weston, Wisconsin is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to complete a
full update to our Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) for years 2023-2027. The
Village of Weston has incorporated our CORP with our Comprehensive Plan (COMP Plan). Both
portions of the Parks and Recreation Chapters within the COMP Plan Volumes will need to be
updated. This comprehensive planning document should provide a clear 5-year plan for the

Questions and Responses to Consultants
1. Is there a budget for the CORP update and Master Plans and what is it?
a. There are funds budgeted for this project in our professional services account, but not a
specific amount for the CORP. No funds budgeted in 2022 for the Master Plans.
2. How is this project being funded?
a. Same response as above except for possibly using ARPA funds for the Master Plans.
3. Will the Village be responsible for the mapping for the CORP?
a. Yes, the Village will be responsible for updating and developing new maps at the
direction of the consultant.
4. Do proposals need to be mailed hard copy and how many copies or can it be emailed?
a. Proposals can be sent either way, but email is preferred. Only one hard copy would be
required.
5. Do you need to submit three separate proposals or is one acceptable with the scope and costs
separated for each item?
a. One proposal is acceptable with a separate scope/fee for each item.
6. Are you able to provide any further information on the Prohaska Family Park Property?
a. Location of the Prohaska Family Park is 7403 Ryan Street, Weston, WI. 54476. It is
mostly wooded with 5 ponds on it also has a substantial amount of wetlands. Any
improvements to the property would be decided during the planning process. Due to
the ponds and wooded areas, we anticipate it being more passive use. Not for organized
team sports. Walking/biking trails and support facilities. Also, wondering if it would be a
good location for a Disc Golf Course? Survey will be available for consultants.
b. Attached is a pdf of a concept of the property that was put together in conjunction with
the Central Wisconsin Off Road Cycling Coalition when we were working on putting
together grant applications to purchase the property.
c. We don’t anticipate it being developed as intensively for biking. It was more of a
concept to help with our grant applications. Plus, the Central Wisconsin Off Road Cycling
Coalition is not really interested in assisting in the development of this property for
biking.
7. Do you anticipate that the master plan for Kennedy Park will require renovation or modification
of the existing aquatic center?
a. The only modification that would probably be under consideration is if it would make
