City Parks & Rec Seeking Grant towards a Splash Pad - Letters of support sought

Help Support the Starin Park Splash Pad & Park Enhancement Project!

The City of Whitewater is applying for a Wisconsin Department of Administration Non-State Grant to help fund a new splash pad and park enhancements at Starin Park — creating a free, safe, and inclusive space for children and families of all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Earlier this year, the City conducted a community-wide parks and recreation survey, and the Starin Park Splash Pad was identified as the most requested project by residents. Your feedback helped shape this plan, and now we need your help again to make it a reality!

We’re asking for letters of support from community members, local organizations, and businesses to demonstrate the strong community backing for this project.

How to help:

Please email your letter of support to kboehm@whitewater-wi.gov by Tuesday, October 28, 2025. In your letter, share why this project matters to you, how it will benefit families and visitors, and why you believe investing in Starin Park is important for Whitewater’s future.

Together, we can make Starin Park a place for everyone to play, cool off, and connect!
