maintenance fundamentals and will act as a guide so that a comprehensive

maintenance program can be established for the Ocoiito park system. 
 
      On a broader scale, a problem arises from the scattered park development

within the county. Because of this, additional problems are posed for the

operation and maintenance of the park system. This report will show how 
to ease the situation through a comprehensive administration and development

program for the county park system. 
 
 
                                Development 
 
Development of Existing Parks: 
 
      1. North Bay Shore Park No. 1 (21 acres)     (T29N, R22E, Sec. 27)

 
               This park is important only in its relationship to North Bay

          Shore Park No. 2, located a mile north. Inasmuch as there is a

          split usage between County Parks No. 1 and No. 2, the area may
be 
          thought of in terms of a unit development. 
 
               Because of the extreme maintenance costs for the amount of

          acreage developed at this site, and because a more adequate park

          acreage lies in such close proximity, this park should be sold
or 
          exchanged for more suitable park land in other parts of the county.

          It is not recommended that further development be carried on in

          this park. 
 
      2. North Bay Shore Park No. 2 (13 acres)     (T29N, R22E, Sec. 24 &
25) 
 
               The importance of this park lies in its accessibility to 
          Green Bay and in its undeveloped acreage. It is feasible to think

          in terms of this park as being the No. 1 park in Oconto County.

 
               It is recommended that this park be redesigned and redeveloped

          to realize the full potential of the land area. 
 
               A recommendation, with an immediate priority, would be to

          enlarge the boating access area to twice the width and deepen it

          to a depth of four feet. In this regard, a breakwater would have

          to be established in Green Bay, to the south of the entrance to
the 
          canal, to prevent the lake currents from washing sand into the
channel 
          and plugging its entrance. In any case, sand wash will continue

          to be a problem and will have to be dealt with as the need arises.

          A breakwater at the entrance to the channel would ease the sand

          problem somewhat and be a less costly maintenance problem over
a 
          period of several years. 
 
               A further recommendation, having a high priority, would be
to 
          place a chain or gate across the main entrance to the park to pre-

          vent access when the park is closed. This would ease the vandalism

          problem somewhat. 
 
                It is recommended that the county have a plane table map
made of 
          this area at the earliest possible convenience. This map should
then 
          be submitted to the Forests and Parks Division of the Wisconsin

          Conservation Department so that plans can be drawn for the redevelop-

          ment of this high priority area.
