Sports Complex Quick Facts
¾Prochnow
landfill property consists of 95
acres of woodlands, open farmland, and
wetlands.
¾Only about 7 of the 95 acres are landfill.
¾Residential and commercial garbage was
disposed of at the landfill between 1941
and 1972; now closed for over 35 years.
¾Proposed sports complex would make it the
second largest park of its kind in Ozaukee
County and one of the ten largest of its kind in
all of Southeastern Wisconsin.
¾Title to the land is currently held in the Estate
of Marvin Prochnow, but can be transferred to
a new owner with the consent of the four
Principal Responsible Parties.

Farmland Area – Spring 2008
New Facilities Needed Now!
The need is real. Field ratings by the
City of Cedarburg, Cedarburg Soccer
and Cedarburg Baseball reveal that the
existing fields in the area are inadequate
because:
9 Not enough fields for current and
future needs
9 Many fields are not regulation size
9 And in some cases, fields are not
safe
The Result: Many kids are turned away
– over 100 for ’09 baseball season.
Those that can play don’t get adequate
instruction and practice time.
Zeunert Park - North
