Oak Township Park site is 32 acres and contains a quarter mile of the Sauk River running through it. The site was purchased in 1976 and was intended to provide public water access to the Sauk River. In 2017, property signs were posted, a culvert was put in, and the entrance road was made. A trail to the river and a canoe campsite are being developed. |
Ethan Kierzrk, an Eagle Scout, came to the Parks Department with the idea to install archery houses and bags at Oak Township County Park. The Eagle Scout Group completed their work in 2019. Park Maintenance Staff finished the parking lot and planted grass seed in the Spring 2020. The archery bags were donated by SCHEELS.
We are now proud to announce the Oak Township Archery Range is officially open!
