The Goodrich Square Splash Park is part of an overall plan for the Goodrich Square downtown district that was finalized in 2010 as a response to the State Highway 26 bypass. The Goodrich Square Steering Committee was established in 2010 to work on implementing the various features of the master plan.

Registration forms are available on the City’s website (www.ci.milton.wi.us) and at City Hall (430 E. High Street).

If you would like to volunteer for the event or have any questions, contact Community Services Manager Inga Jacobson at (608) 868-6900 ext. 4 or by e-mail at ijacobson@ci.milton.wi.us.
