Evergreen Park closed after heavy rain
According to local reporting published April 15 by Seehafer News, Evergreen Park was closed because of flooding tied to heavy rainfall and rising water levels on the Pigeon River. The rising river led to water covering portions of the park, prompting the closure.
The City of Sheboygan’s Evergreen Park is located on the city’s south side along the Pigeon River. When river levels rise quickly after heavy rain, low-lying areas and paths near the water can become unsafe.
As of Thursday morning, there has been no official city update announcing a reopening, so residents should plan on the park remaining closed until conditions improve.
Broader flood context for Sheboygan County
The National Weather Service office serving Sheboygan County has issued flood-related information this week connected to recent rainfall, underscoring that river levels and low-lying areas across the county may still be affected as of April 16.
While Evergreen Park is the primary closure inside the City of Sheboygan, nearby communities are also monitoring river conditions. River Park in Sheboygan Falls was also impacted by high water, according to the same April 15 reporting, highlighting that the effects are not limited to one spot.
What residents should do
If you were planning to head to Evergreen Park for a walk, playground time, or riverfront recreation, it’s a good idea to choose a backup park until the closure is lifted.
- Check the City of Sheboygan website or official channels for reopening updates.
- Avoid water-covered paths, grassy areas with standing water, and river edges.
- Use extra caution near any parks or trails that border the Pigeon River or other waterways.
Flood conditions can change quickly, especially after several rounds of rain. Even when water begins to recede, muddy ground and debris can make park areas unsafe for families and pets.
