The Duck Creek Pop Warner Football League (DCPW) and the Village of Suamico are partnering together for the development of a new 20+ acre multi-use park in the Village of Suamico.

Growth in the Village of Suamico and surrounding communities has stressed the ability for existing parks to meet the needs of the community and youth sports organizations to have quality fields in a safe atmosphere. Village budget constraints and scrutiny from taxpayers make it exceedingly difficult to expand the current park systems with very limited public funding. Individually, neither DCPW, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, nor the Village have the resources to develop a park on their own, but by developing a collaborative partnership between DCPW, and the Village combined with your support creates a powerful team that can benefit from the strength and resources of each group to make this park a reality.

The Village of Suamico will provide over 20 acres of land to allow this multi-use park to become a reality and DCPW will raise the initial seed funding and manage Phase 1 of the development process.  In addition, the Village will provide all associated ongoing park and field maintenance ensuring longevity and security for the future of the park. This multi-use park for the community will support numerous sports including football, soccer, lacrosse as well as many community events providing significant exposure and recognition for sponsors’ generous donations.

Phase 1 of the park development includes four fields. Two groomed “playing” fields and two “practice” fields for football, soccer and lacrosse; a concession stand and facilities, road access from with suitable parking. The park has room for four additional fields for a total of 8 fields to accommodate future growth. We are seeking park sponsors and grant money to raise $450,000 with a goal of breaking ground by the spring of 2009 and completing phase 1 in 2010.

The result of the park development will be a new park that provides additional playing and practice fields for DCPW, Howard Suamico Youth Soccer Association, Lacrosse America and other youth sports and community organizations. It will also provide recognition for sponsors for generous donations to make this park a reality. In addition, it will improve currently unused land and increase the value of land of local property owners.
