• Splash pad being considered for 2017
• Ice rink going in this winter;
• Planning for new restrooms and new pavilion (construction planned for immediately following Walleye Weekend). Chose to put more focus on concessions rather than on adding a restaurant. Floating docs will likely be part of the strategy.
• Paved pedestrian paths have been incorporated into the park and anecdotal feedback has been very positive.
• BCI Burke has added a zipline to the park.
• Mercury added a boat dock; another organization helped to add 15 wheelchair accessible fishing docks throughout the park.
• A Leadership FDL team project added a history walk inside of the lighthouse
