ITEM: Sign program planning for recently completed Demontreville and Sunfish Lake Park information kiosks
SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
___________________________________________________________________
Information kiosks have recently been installed at Sunfish Lake Park and Demontreville Wildlife Area. The kiosks are ready to accept signage and a lockable message board, if desired.
The purpose of the kiosks is to provide a central location for the organized posting of interpretive, regulatory and directional signage. The City Council authorized expenditures
for kiosk signage as a part of the Sunfish Lake Park Parking Area improvements at their October 5 meeting.
A sign program for each of the two locations might include the following:
Sunfish Lake Park
Park map
Park hours
Rules and regulations (emphasize no bicycles, horses limited months, no motorized vehicles, etc.)
Interpretive (wildlife to look for, history of the park, park projects overview – parking area improvements, raingardens, prairie restoration, natural resource management plan)
Public safety enhancement (do not leave valuables in car, etc.)
Land Trust designation
Demontreville Wildlife Area
Park map
DNR Gateway trail map
Park hours
Park rules and regulations (emphasize no motorized vehicles – snowmobiles)
Interpretive (wildlife to look for, park projects overview – stream / lake water quality project)
Public safety enhancement (do not leave valuables in car, etc.)
Adopt-a-park acknowledgement
Lockable message board
Carol Kriegler will provide an overview of a potential sign program for the two locations. Also, Commissioner Blackford has done considerably work in the past several months documenting
the history of Sunfish Lake Park. She has done for the record as well as with the thought that the history might be shared in the form of interpretive signage at the park. The Parks
Commission is asked to provide comment and direction.
