local recreation
departments or
agencies.
Good to Know... Before You Enroll!
Spectators
Register First
All persons are required to register PRIOR to
participation in ANY program. Registrations
and fees cannot be handled at the sites by
instructors or any staff members. Please be
prepared to show your receipt at the first
class session. Instructors have the authority
to disallow participation until proof is given.
Registration Information (page 77)
Enrollment Forms (pages 78 & 79)
Ages Indicated
Children must be the age indicated on or
before the FIRST class session.
Self-care
“Time Out” Dates
This is the date our staff checks
class enrollment status.
If the minimum enrollment has
not been met, the class may be
cancelled.
Yes, you can register
in-person or by fax after the
“Time Out” date if openings exist.
To check class status call
329-5370
(M-F 9 AM-6 PM).
Remember to bring your
receipt to first class for
verification.
Special Refund Note
Due to the purchasing of
supplies, requests for
refunds, credits or transfers after
the “Time Out” date will only be
honored if your spot can be filled.
In classes where caregivers are not required,
children must be able to provide self-care in
a group setting (ie: able to wash hands and use
restroom facilities without assistance).
Starting & Ending Class Times
Our instructors need time to open facilities
and prepare for your class. Please provide
proper supervision as children “dropped off”
before classes start will not be supervised by
our staff. Instructors will call their class and
take attendance. Parents should wait until
this has taken place before leaving. Classes
will end as scheduled. Instructors are either
preparing for the next class or closing the
facility; your promptness in picking up your
child is necessary.
Please do not arrive prior to 10 minutes
before the start of your class as the locker
rooms or class room may not be open before
this time. If your program involves use of
locker rooms, plan to depart no later than 10
minutes after the scheduled conclusion of
your program.
Waiting Areas
Most facilities have a designated spot where
parents may wait during classes. Please help
us keep the privilege of use of these facilities
by not wandering around the buildings, no
food or drink, and please keep siblings under
supervision.
Makeups
Classes missed for individual absences
(ie: illness, vacations, etc.) are not “made up,”
nor may participants attend classes other
than the one they are registered for.

4 GENERAL INFORMATION
One of the fundamental instructional program goals is to provide your child with a
fun and positive learning opportunity with
their peers while developing separation skills.
Parents are welcome to observe the last
scheduled class of the semester. (Exception:
Swim lessons, spectators are permitted on the
first day also.) For the best instructional atmosphere, observation of other class sessions
is not permitted. Please feel free to discuss
your child’s progress before and after class
with the instructor.
• Parent/Child Classes
T he spectator policy remains the same.
Please make arrangements for siblings as
they will not be permitted in the program
location and may not be left unsupervised
in hallway or locker room areas.
• Adult Classes
P
lease make arrangements for your children
as they will not be permitted in the program location and may not be left unsupervised in hallways or locker room areas.
Round Up Sponsorships
The Department does not wish to exclude
any City of Greenfield youth from participation on the basis of their ability to pay.
There is an opportunity during registration
to donate to help this cause by “rounding
up” your registration fee to provide financial
assistance for those unable to afford program
fees for youth programs. A donation line is
included on the registration form – you can
donate any amount you see fit by adding the
amount to your program fee total. Persons
who feel they are unable to afford the cost
of a youth activity may apply for a reduction
of fees utilizing the “Round Up” Sponsorship
donations which help fund these requests.
City of Greenfield residents may apply for
financial assistance by contacting the Parks
& Recreation Department office at least one
week prior to registering for youth programs.

General Information
Program Information
The Department of Parks and Recreation
directly mails three seasonal “Recreator”
activity guides per year to Greenfield
residents and businesses. Mailing schedule:
SUMMER (May)
FALL (August)
WINTER/SPRING (December)
In addition, specific program flyers are
periodically distributed to public and private
schools located within the corporate limits
of the City of Greenfield. As a public service,
timely program information can be found on
a regular basis in the CNI Greenfield NOW,
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel “Neighbors,” Suburban and Sports sections, Warner Community
Access Channel, and the department web site
at www.greefieldwi.us/parksrec.
Nondiscrimination Policy
It is the policy of the City of Greenfield Department of Parks and Recreation that no person
shall, on the basis of race, color, or disability,
be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any City of Greenfield sponsored
program, activity, or employment. Pursuant to
the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of
Greenfield will make every reasonable effort
to accommodate persons with disabilities in
the provision of City services, programs, or
activities. If you require special accommodation in order to participate, please inform us
when you register.
School District Cooperation
The Department of Parks & Recreation would
like to thank both the Greenfield School
District and the Whitnall School District for
their support and cooperation with facility
scheduling. However, due to school athletic
and education programming, some recreation activities may need to be cancelled or
rescheduled. The community’s understanding
during these times is appreciated.
Insurance/Liability
The City of Greenfield does not provide
hospital/medical insurance coverage for
persons participating in sponsored activities
and cannot assume responsibility for injury to
any participants in its recreation programs.
Participants are encouraged to obtain their
own insurance coverage prior to the start of
the program, and to consult with a physician
before participating in any strenuous activity.
Photographs
For program promotion
purposes, photographs will be
taken of participants from
time to time. If you do not wish to have your
photo taken, please tell the photographer
and/or class instructor.
Lesson Observation/ Visitors Day
In an effort to better promote a positive learning environment for programs, only registered
participants are permitted in the classroom
area. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss participants’ progress with
parents after class. The final instructional class
may be observed by parents, unless special
dates are scheduled by the instructors.
Cooperative Programming
What does this mean? When
you see this symbol, it means
this program is being made available as part
of a cooperative programming agreement
with other local departments or agencies.
Individually, each department or agency may
not have the facility or instructor or enrollment necessary to offer the program. In working together, the cooperative departments
are able to better serve the needs of their residents by expanded program opportunities.
New Program Ideas
The Department of Parks and Recreation is
always receptive to suggestions for the development of new program offerings. Please feel
free to give us a call with your ideas.
Lost and Found
If you have lost or misplaced an item in one of
our parks or program facilities, please contact
the Parks and Recreation Department office.
Articles that are found and turned into the
office are kept for 60 days. After that period
of time, the items are donated to a local
charitable organization. The Department
of Parks and Recreation and related facility
providers are not responsible for any lost or
stolen items.
TYPO, We Goofed?
Occasionally, there may be an error in days,
times, registration requirements, locations, or
fees. When such errors occur, our staff will do
everything possible to correct the situation
promptly. The department reserves the right
to change program schedules as needed to
accommodate demand or school use conflicts.
Read your receipt carefully, as any changes
since the printing of this RECREATOR will be
noted there.
Employment Opportunities
Persons interested in obtaining part-time/
seasonal employment with the Department of
Parks and Recreation should complete an employment application form at the department
office. Openings for positions as lifeguards,
officials, program supervisors, and instructors
for various programs are usually filled from
current applications on file. Qualified applicants will be contacted for an interview as
openings become available.

Park & Recreation Board Meetings
The City of Greenfield Department of Parks
and Recreation is a governmental agency
established for the purpose of providing and
managing public recreation programs, facilities, and park/open spaces for the community.
The Department is governed by appointed
board members who serve as a policy-making
body. Regular Park and Recreation Board
meetings are generally held on the LAST
Thursday of each month (exception: November
and December regular meetings are held on
the THIRD Thursday of the month) at 7:00 PM
at the Greenfield City Hall, 7325 West Forest
Home Avenue. Agendas and minutes are
available at www.greenfieldwi.us. Click on “calendars/meetings/agendas” for information on
meeting dates, times and location. Residents
are invited to attend, and are welcome to
make suggestions or comments.
Non-resident Policy
Definition: In the case of non-resident participation, it is generally accepted that non-resident users should contribute an additional fee
to offset their non-tax status. A non-resident
is defined as a person who does not reside
or own property within the corporate limits
of the City of Greenfield (in general, does
not directly contribute to City of Greenfield
property taxes).
User Fee Surcharge: Persons defined as a nonresident of the City of Greenfield are required
to remit double (100% surcharge) the adopted
resident program/service fee (i.e. resident
fee of $10 = non-resident fee of $20). Nonresidents who falsely register shall forfeit their
privilege to participate, and any related fees
collected will be retained by the Department
(no refund given).
Exception to non-resident user fee/surcharge:
• N
on-resident youth who attend either a
Greenfield or Whitnall School District School
will be assessed at the resident rate.
• N
on-residents employed by the City of
Greenfield (and spouse; children within
immediate household) are exempt from any
non-resident related surcharges.
• P
ersons who pay partial City of Greenfield
property taxes are entitled to a prorated
non-resident surcharge based on the
percentage of their City of Greenfield tax
contribution in relation to their overall property tax bill (payment to other City/Village/
Township entities). For example: If 20% of
your overall property tax bill is paid to the
City of Greenfield, your non-resident surcharge rate would be 80% (i.e., resident fee
of $10 = adjusted non-resident fee of $18).

Swimming & Water Safety Levels
The American Red Cross offers comprehensive course levels that teach your child how to swim skillfully and safely.
Skills taught are progressive, so children advance upon completion of all the skills in the previous level.
New to our program? Either enroll your child in Starfish (Ages 4-6) or Level One (Ages 6-9), or attend a swim pre-test session to
determine which level is most appropriate for your child, based upon their water skills.
Levels
Requirements
Skills Taught
Parent and Child Aquatics
Parent/Child
Swim
Ratio 1:10
Ages 1-4 Years
Each child must be
accompanied by
parent or caregiver
Parents and children learn together to increase a child’s comfort level in the water and build
a foundation of basic skills, such as arm and leg movements and breath control. This level
is fun-filled and helps introduce water safety concepts, encouraging a healthy recreational
habit. If your child is not 100% toilet trained, they will need to wear a swim diaper under
their swim suit. The water temperature is approximately 80 degrees, which may be cold for
younger swimmers, so a long-sleeved swim/sun type top is recommended.

Starfish orients children to the aquatic environment and helps them gain basic aquatic skills
that are the foundation for the later levels. Front and back, floats, glides, leg and arm actions
are taught. Age appropriate water safety topics are reviewed.
.
Seahorse builds upon the Starfish skills to help children gain greater independence in their
skills and develop more comfort in and around the water. Bobs, retrieving objects under
water, floating and gliding independently, treading water, and combined arm-and-leg actions on front and back are the focus.
Goldfish further develops the Seahorse skills so children gain basic swimming propulsive
skills. Floats and glides into a vertical position, rotary breathing, how to change direction
while swimming, treading water, and independent swimming with front and back strokes
are the primary focus.

Introduction to Water Skills Level 1 teaches basic personal water safety and skills to help
children feel comfortable in the water while learning elementary aquatic skills. Age-appropriate water safety topics are reviewed.
Fundamental Aquatic Skills Level 2 gives participants success with fundamental skills such
as floating and recovering to a vertical position. Participants continue to explore simultaneous and alternating arm action on front and back.
Stroke Development Level 3 teaches the survival float, elementary backstroke, breaststroke,
backstroke and coordination of front crawl. Participants are introduced to dolphin kick,
swimming in deep water, and basic diving skills.
Stroke Improvement Level 4 develops confidence in previously learned strokes and increases distance swimming. Backstroke and breaststroke are further developed. Participants are
introduced to butterfly and taught sidestroke.
Stroke Refinement Level 5 refines strokes learned in Level 4 and increases distances of
swimming. Participants are also introduced to front and back flip turns.
Prerequisite: Successful
completion of Level 5
Swimming and Skill Proficiency Level 6 refines the strokes so participants swim with ease,
efficiency, power and smoothness over greater distances. It helps prepare for more advanced classes such as Lifeguarding and Competitive Swimming.
Prerequisite:
Successful completion
of Level 6
This level is unique to Greenfield Parks & Recreation to keep kids swimming. Stroke refinements, junior lifeguarding skills, and fitness swimming are just some of the things this level
can cover, based upon the interest of the class.

Continuing Option
To facilitate proper placement of children who do enroll in more than one semester, this is our
process:
1) Your first session: Enroll in the specific level class.
2) Y
our second session of the semester: Enroll as a “continuing student” and indicate the
registration number appropriate for the session. Remember to submit both your form and
fee prior to the "Time Out" date given for the session. This will place you on the waiting list.
At the second to last lesson, when testing takes place, your child(ren’s) instructor will update
the coordinators of their progress. Classes are adjusted to accommodate as many children
as possible, also factoring siblings. At the last lesson, participants will receive a slip with
placement.
Private Swim Lessons—Youth (Ages 6+) to Adult
Private swim lessons are designed to help meet the needs of participants who are seeking
more individualized instruction. Teens and adults seeking to improve their swim strokes are
welcome. One of our swim instructors will be assigned to work one-on-one with you or your
child to accomplish specific strokes or skills during the class. Note: After the "Time Out" date,
due to the scheduling of staff, there are no credits or refunds.
Practice Makes Perfect
Swimming is a recreational activity that will last a lifetime. Learning to swim happens with
swim lessons and spending time in the water during Open Swim for water exploration and
play. By enrolling your child(ren) in the Greenfield Parks & Recreation Dept’s Learn to Swim
program, you are automatically able to attend our Open Swim time at no additional cost during the dates of your class, by showing your Learn to Swim program receipt at the door. You
and your child can come to the pool to have fun while providing time for them to practice and
develop their skills.

ARRIVAL/PICK-UP
Playground Policies
Children may not be dropped off prior to the stated times. This is a safety issue,
since everyone dropped off needs to be supervised and our staff will not be there
yet. Children also need to be picked up no later than the 5:30 PM time. Late pickups take our staff away from other programs.
If a child is repeatedly dropped off early or picked up late, you may be charged
for our staff time and your child dropped from the program.
DROP-IN VISITORS
Konkel Park Site

sprinkler, and just enjoying playing on the playground equipment. Participants need to bring sunscreen, bug spray, a bag lunch, snacks, beverages,
and a water bottle daily. Enrollment will be limited,
so register early for this site. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be held at Edgewood
Elementary School.

Individuals not registered in the program who wish to participate in the activities at the site for a given day can ‘drop-in’. Visitors can only "drop-in" for one day
during a week. Visitors are not eligible to participate in field trips, and will not be
permitted at sites if they have reached their maximum enrollment capacity for a
session. These restrictions were created to make it possible to maintain a proper
supervision ratio for those who have registered. Program fees are not “pro-rated”
nor are “visitors fees “ credited if a visitor later enrolls as a regular participant.
Visitors rate: Half Day $8; Whole day $16 (paid at the site).
MEDICATIONS
Park and Recreation Department staff members are not allowed to provide
medications for any participant. If your child needs assistance during the day, you
will need to make other arrangements to provide that assistance.
PROPER ATTIRE
Participants are required to dress appropriately for these activities—sneakers,
socks, shorts, and T-shirts are fine. Sunscreen/sun block should be applied prior
to coming and some should be sent along with your child to apply during the
day. Sandals and Jelly shoes are not allowed for safety reasons. Good clothes are
not recommended because arts & crafts and game activities can get messy. For
supervision reasons, participants MUST wear their Greenfield Playground T-shirt
on the days of field trips.
PROGRAM FEES
The program fee indicated is for the total session. Sorry, fees can’t be pro-rated.
The fee breaks down to an average of $1.40 per hour for School Age. Non-residents of Greenfield who are residents of the Whitnall School District may enroll in
the playground program at the Edgerton Elementary and pay the resident fee.
(R) = Resident
Greenfield resident or Whitnall School District resident and/or attending a
Greenfield or Whitnall School
PLAYGROUND CODE OF CONDUCT
To ensure that the playground experiences are positive for everyone involved
and that one child’s behavior does not limit or interfere with another child’s
experience, the following “Code of Conduct” will be administered throughout
the summer:
• Children must be quiet and attentive when the playground supervisor or
leaders are presenting instructions and/or information.
• Children will be responsible for the equipment they are using. They must use
the equipment for the intended purpose and are responsible for putting the
equipment away when done.
• Running is not allowed in the hallways.
• Hitting, kicking, pushing, and other types of VERBAL and/or PHYSICAL
behavior will not be acceptable among the children and will not be tolerated.
• Weapon-like toys, including squirt guns will not be allowed.
Our discipline procedures will be spelled out in greater detail in the Playground site
newsletter. Please take time to review this information with your child so we can
have a safe and enjoyable summer. Depending upon the severity of the conduct,
staff will implement time-outs to 1 day suspensions to removal from the program.

POLE WALKING WORKSHOP
Ages 14+
Vickie Strachota, Nordic Walk Now & Advanced Exerstrider Nordic Walking Certified Instructor
Turn a simple walk around the park into an efficient, effective, aerobic total body workout.
With pole walking ,you can increase your energy level and increase your cardiovascular
level on your own schedule. Pole Walking burns up to 48% more calories than ordinary
walking, reduces tension in the neck and shoulders, lessens the impact on the knees and
joints, and is suitable for all ages.
This is a “hands on” opportunity to learn the North America Low Impact Method of Pole
Walking and try different poles to find which work best for you. Bring your own water
bottle and wear good walking shoes. At the conclusion, participants will have the option
to order a pair of Nordic Poles at a greatly reduced price.

Little Ninjas is an easy-to understand class for the younger child to gain the benefits of
Tae Kwon Do. There will be emphasis placed on the physical techniques so the participant’s body can begin growing with the movements and burn up energy. The very basics
will be taught, with additions of important outside aspects for children such as stranger
self-defense and lost- in-the-store safety.
CHILDREN (Ages 6-12 years)
Children’s Tae Kwon Do is great for development of self-discipline and physical fitness.
Children who learn Tae Kwon Do also benefit from increased self-esteem, more confidence and assertiveness, more focus and concentration, better discipline and self-control,
respect for authority, self-defense, and physical activity. Children who study this art will
learn when it is okay to use it as the code. The martial artist forbids unfair assaults or
unnecessary use of force, so it is for emergencies only.
TEEN/ADULT (Ages 13+)
Tae Kwon Do is great for mental, physical, and spiritual development. Become more flexible, agile, and physically stronger while increasing balance. For a Tae Kwon Do practitioner, his entire body is his weapon, defending easily against all aggressors with their hands,
fists, elbows, knees, and feet.
OPEN HOUSE (New Students)
Wednesday May 27 or July 15 or September 2 at 5:10 PM

feel more comfortable as he/she takes part in this exciting program designed to develop
stronger students and responsible citizens. This is highly recommended for NEW participants.

Ages 6-16
Gain a new outlook on how to face bullies.
Bullying is a national epidemic that begins
with how a student views him/herself. As
confidence grows, so does the strength to
stand up to Bullies. In the class students
will cover what bullying is and the various
types of bullying, what to say to Bullies
and how to defend yourself against common physical attacks. Prepare your child
with the tools needed to be strong in a
world where Bullies are real and can cause
life-lasting effects.

the moon falls from the sky, she can’t resist
taking a little nibble ... and another. What
will happen to it now?
Session II: A Bad Case of the Stripes
by David Shannon
A girl named Camilla Cream loves lima
beans, but doesn’t want to eat them
because her friends dislike them and she

grows roots, berries, crystals, feathers, and
a long furry cat tail, until a “special treat”
turns Camilla into a girl again.
Session III: Swimmy

Deep in the sea, there lives a happy
school of fish. Their watery world is full of

GRILLING SAFETY TIPS
Fire in the grill, under hot dogs and
burgers, is a welcome sight at the family
cookout. But fire anywhere else can make
your summer barbecue memorable for all
the wrong reasons.
• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should
only be used outdoors.
• The grill should be placed well away from
the home, deck railings, and out from
under eaves and overhanging branches.
• Keep children and pets away from the
grill area.
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease
or fat buildup from the grills and in trays
below the grill.
• Never leave your grill unattended.
Charcoal Grills
There are several ways to get the charcoal
ready to use...
• Charcoal chimney starters allow you to
start the charcoal using newspaper as a
fuel.
• If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal
fluid or any other flammable liquids to
the fire.
• Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of
children and away from heat sources.
• There are also electric charcoal starters,
which do not use fire. Be sure to use an
extension cord for outdoor use.
• When you are finished grilling, let the
coals cool completely before disposing
in a metal container.
Propane Grills
Check the gas tank hose for leaks before
using it for the first time each year. Apply
a light soap and water solution to the
hose. A propane leak will release bubbles.
If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the
soapy bubble test, and there is no flame,
turn off the gas tank and grill. If the leak
stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak
does not stop, call the fire department. If
you smell gas while cooking, immediately
get away from the grill and call the fire
department. Do not move the grill.

BROOMSTICK LACE SCARF
Ages 18+
Broomstick lace, also known as jiffy lace
and peacock eye crochet, is a historic
crochet technique from the 19th century.
It is done using a crochet hook and another long slender item such as a knitting
needle—traditionally, a broomstick was
used (hence the name), but the modern
variant is a smooth wooden craft dowel
will be used in this class. Larger knitting
needle or dowel to result in a lacier effect,
a smaller knitting needle or dowel will provide a more closely woven effect.
This class does require intermediate to
advanced crochet skills (this is a beginner
level crochet pattern, as long as you can do
crochet stitches like chain, single crochet,
slip stitch and can crochet with good craftsmanship).
This gorgeous Broomstick Lace Scarf will
also require some work at home to finish. Bring from home a Size G-6 (4.0mm)
crochet hook, and two (2) skeins thin,
lightweight yarn (same color).

Mayor’s Message
Michael J. Neitzke, Mayor
Welcome to the Summer Edition of the GREENfield SHEET!
At the time of this writing, while the weather is still a bit
chilly, economic development is heating up. The former
Mount Carmel site will soon transform into a Meijer’s store,
significant progress is in the works for the old Chapman
School area, and a substantial office building is contemplated for Loomis Road, north of 894. These, and other
developments, result in a substantial investment in our City.
We are committed to positive long-term development and
re-development within our City. We have a reputation as a
positive place to do business, and bring business!
We continue to build upon our positive working relationships with our School Districts, Greenfield and Whitnall.
Collaboration is the key to success, and our partners agree.
A number of new initiatives are in the works.
As every summer approaches, so too does a new road
building season. With all construction comes the need for
patience and caution. We actively manage our projects to
compress timelines and inconvenience the best we can.
Even still, in this rushed world, it almost never seems to be
done quickly enough. We understand—just know we’re
trying. Please be cautious around construction sites. Drive
slowly, watch for construction workers and barricades, and
keep your eyes peeled for children.
This Recreator has been expanded to include more events
and opportunities in our area. Take a look; there’s plenty to
do to make your summer better!

Division of Public Works (DPW)
Drop Off Center (DOC)
Guidelines
If you can’t prepare yard waste to meet
the street pick-up standards, you may
elect to drop it off at the city’s drop-off
center. This facility is located at 4551 S.
52nd Street (one block north of Layton
Ave., enter at 51st Street and Armour Ave.).
The drop-off center is open Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 3 PM to 7 PM and Saturdays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
In order to keep the DOC efficient and
cost effective, it is important to remember
that the Drop Off Center is for Greenfield
residents only and only for those items
normally generated by a residential
household. The DOC is not intended for
large remodel or landscaping projects,
dirt, gravel or stone removal, hazardous
waste, landlord/apartment use and/or
other business generated items.
Please call Johns Disposal Services 1-888-473-4701 should you have any of
these items. NEW FOR 2015: “Electronic
items will be limited to 5 per Greenfield
residence per month with an annual total
at 20 (proof of residency is required).”

LEAF
COMPOST
HELPS
GARDENS
THRIVE
Greenfield collects over 6,000 cubic yards
of leaves from private properties each fall
(that’s about 1,200 truckloads). 15 years
ago, we just trucked leaves out of town.
But today, we compost the leaves so they
can be recycled in local gardens. Our
compost is so good that it has become a
preferred product used at Boerner Botanical Gardens in Whitnall Park!
Pick up free wood chips or composted
leaves at one of our two public stockpiles
located at 52nd and Armour Ave or 117th
and Morgan Ave. Or better yet, call Greenfield DPW today at 761-5374 and arrange
to have a truckload of composted leaves
delivered to your Greenfield property (a
$25 truck delivery fee applies).
Your garden will thank you later.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
Celebrate the safety of your neighborhood!
On Tuesday, August 4, 2015, Greenfield
will be celebrating National Night Out at
Konkel Park. The celebration hours will be
from 5:30-8:30 PM.
This is a great opportunity for the Greenfield community to gather for fun, food and
crime prevention information. Through our
dedicated sponsors, we will be providing
a limited supply of brats, hotdogs, chips
and soft drinks. The fun will include a dunk
tank, inflatable rides, the UW Marching

complaints sometimes with an ambulance
because of injuries. Simply possessing
fireworks in Greenfield is illegal!
Medicine Drop Off
If you have cleaned out your medicine
cabinet and found medications that you no
longer use, DO NOT flush them down the
toilet! Bring them to the Greenfield Police

The primary mission of the Greenfield Fire Department is fire prevention. We attempt to
accomplish this mission through proactive education, creation of a fire prevention code,
making individuals aware of the code and enforcing the code. In an effort to pursue our
mission and because we receive many questions related to permissible burning and fire
pits the Greenfield Municipal Ordinance is listed below. Non-compliance can result in a
citation/fine but most importantly jeopardizes safety and can create an un-neighborly
situation. Be respectful and a good neighbor.
Greenfield Municipal Ordinance 18.15(5)
(b) Permissible burning.
1. G
rills. For other than one-family and two-family dwellings, no hibachi, gas-fired grills,
charcoal grill or similar devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose shall be
used or kindled on any balcony or under any overhanging portion of a building. Grilling on ground level is permissible provided that the grill is at least 10 feet away from
any structure. Smoke must not be a nuisance to neighbors, or public roadways. Listed
electrical ranges, grills or similar electrical apparatus shall be permitted.
2. O
pen fires, fire pits, and recreational fires. Open fires, fire pits, and recreational fires
shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 1 and the following requirements:
a. Portable fire pits and open fires:
1) P
ortable fire pits shall not be used or kindled on any balcony or under any overhanging portion or within 10 feet of any structure.
2) Portable fire pits must be placed on a noncombustible surface.
3) Portable fire pits shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing organization
4) B
urning of yard waste or other refuse is prohibited; only clean, dry wood can be
used.
5) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire.
6) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads.
b. Recreational fires (lined in-ground pit):
1) S hall not be located within 25 feet of a structure or combustible material unless
contained in an approved manner.
2) The total fuel area shall not exceed 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height.
3) Only clean, dry wood can be burned.
4) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire.
5) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads.
c. Open fires (bon fire):
1) Permit must be obtained from the Fire Chief.
2) Permitted open fires shall be located not less than 50 feet from any structure.
3) Only clean, dry wood can be burned.
4) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire.
5) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads.
3. A
ll fires must be supervised at all times by an adult and have the proper means available to extinguish the fire. No fire shall be left unattended.
Many communities have and continue to tackle the issue of allowing open burning; ironically though the trouble is not over traditional fire prevention concerns, but due to the
presence of smoke in residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the Greenfield Fire Department offers these additional recommendations:
• Open burning is only allowed during prescribed times and is subject to regulation and
violation.
• When allowed, limit the number of open burning fires. Don’t burn every day, just on
occasion.
• Move the location in your yard that complies with distance requirements but also does
not allow smoke to immediately drift towards neighbors or structures.
• Do not have fires when the air is heavy and smoke stays close to the ground. Be aware of
wind direction/speed.
• Be aware of neighbor’s windows being open.
• Be a good neighbor.

Many vaccine-preventable diseases are
making a comeback due to waning immunization levels in certain parts of the
U.S. and across the globe. The Disneyland
measles outbreak (December 2014 – April
2015) is an example of the recurrence of
vaccine-preventable disease that can be
averted with the appropriate immunizations for school-age children. The prevention against these disease outbreaks and
medical complications among high-risk
individuals is a high rate of vaccination in
the community.
The Greenfield Health Department works
corroboratively to track immunization
rates for key populations in the City.
Among two-year-old children in Greenfield, the vaccination level for measles is
nearly 90 percent. The 90 percent level of
vaccination is significant because this is
the level that public health experts believe
provides high levels of immunity to those
who cannot be vaccinated – most notably
those under one year of age. Rates of
vaccination increase with a child’s age, and
current school and daycare rates are nearly
98 percent overall.
Vaccinations are important for protection
against disease and for overall health,
therefore ensuring your child is up-to-date
is very important. Please take the time to
review those immunization records with
your child’s doctor. The Wisconsin Student
Immunization Law outlines which vaccines
are required for school registration by
grade. Specific age and timing is associated with certain immunizations, including
prior to attending kindergarten, in middle
school and before your child’s senior year
in high school. Additional information
can be found through your child’s medical
doctor, at https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/
immunization/reqs.htm, or by calling the
Greenfield Health Department at
(414) 329-5275.
Disabled Parking
Certification
Public Health Nurses at the Greenfield
Health Department can now certify applications for individuals with a permanent or

Many Greenfield residents may need daily
injections for diabetes or other medical problems. Disposal of used needles
and other sharps is often limited. Sharps
should not be placed into the regular
garbage, but should instead be placed
into approved red “sharps” containers and
disposed at a sharps collection site.
Sharps containers are available for
purchase at local pharmacies and at the
Greenfield Health Department. Two sizes
are available: Large = $7.00 and Small =
$6.00. When the container is full, it can be

disposal.

Department of Natural Resources
(1-888-936-7463) for locations of sharps
collection sites in their area.
Fifth Anniversary
of Smoke-Free
Air Law
On July 5, 2015, we celebrate the
fifth anniversary of Wisconsin’s Statewide
Smoke‐Free Air Law (State Statute 101.123,
Wisconsin Act 12). This law defined smoking
as the use of a cigar, cigarette, pipe or other
lighted smoking equipment. The law made
indoor workplaces, including all restaurants
and bars 100% smoke-free. The state law
also included 100% of hotels and motels, by
which Wisconsin became the first state to
make 100% of hotel rooms smoke-free.
In October 2014, the Greenfield Common
Council voted to expand smoke-free prohibitions within the City to include electronic
smoking devices, the category of devices
that includes e-cigarettes, e-pipes, e-cigars
and other similar devices. Upon approval,
Greenfield became the third Wisconsin
municipality to prohibit the use of electronic
smoking devices and has recently been
joined by Madison and Wauwatosa in passing local laws. Electronic smoking devices
have been prohibited in nearly 350 jurisdictions nationwide including the states of New
Jersey, North Dakota and Utah, and large
metropolitan cities including Chicago, Los
Angeles, New York and Seattle.
FEEDING WILD ANIMALS
For many of us, the summer months bring
the enjoyment of watching birds, squirrels,
deer or other wildlife meander through our
yards. While watching these animals can be
pleasant and relaxing, the feeding of wild
animals is a common concern throughout
Greenfield.
Feeding birds is permitted within Greenfield
city limits, however Municipal Code does not
allow for feeding birds with seeds, nuts, or
other food placed on the ground. Placing
bird food on the ground is not permitted
because this activity will attract mice, rats
and other rodents. Code states that “food for
birds shall be placed on raised platforms or
such feed shall be placed where it is not accessible to rodents.” Similarly, squirrels may
be fed by using appropriate feeders only.
The feeding of other wildlife, including deer,
is discouraged by Municipal Code and by
wildlife experts and organizations for many
reasons. Primarily, feeding wild animals will
cause them to become too comfortable in
urban residential areas and may cause them
to damage residential trees and shrubs. In
addition, feeding of animals may create
problems with rodents or prey animals in
residential areas. In summary, please enjoy
wild animals from afar and do not feed.
Any questions or comments about Municipal
Code pertaining to animals may be addressed
to the Health Department at (414) 329-5275.
Dogs and City Rules
Warmer weather provides a great opportunity for families and pets to enjoy the
outdoors. With that in mind, we want to
highlight several rules in Municipal Code
related to dogs.
1. D
og feces shall be removed from
yards, pens and enclosures daily or
more often, if necessary, and stored in
tightly covered containers until final
disposal.
2. A
ll dogs and cats must have a current
license issued by the City Treasurer or
the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal
Control Commission (MADACC).
3. D
ogs and cats over three (3) months of
age shall have current immunization
against rabies with owners maintaining proof of such vaccination.
4. A
nimals maintained outside shall
have appropriate food, water, and
shelter.
5. N
o household is permitted more than
two (2) dogs or cats, or any combinations thereof, which are over the age
of three (3) months, unless a person
holds a valid animal fancier permit.
The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal
Control Commission (MADACC) provides
a variety of veterinary services at a minimal
charge to county residents; see http://www.
madacc.org for additional information.
Any questions or comments about Municipal Code pertaining to animals may
be addressed to the Health Department
at (414) 329-5275.
Animals in the City
While dogs and cats are permitted, per
Municipal Code Chapter 12.11, certain
animals are prohibited within the City
of Greenfield. Excluded animals include
those classified by Code as “livestock”
including, but not limited to, any bees,
cows, horses, sheep, swine, chickens,
rabbits, ducks, turkeys, geese, pigeons
or any other domesticated livestock.
Similarly, wild animals are prohibited
and include bats, raccoons, poisonous
snakes or reptiles, poisonous insects or
arachnids, cheetah, cougar, lion, tiger,
wolf or wolf-dog hybrids, offspring of
wild species cross-bred with domestic
dogs and cats. Exotic animals are also
prohibited. A complete list of prohibited
animals can be found in the Municipal
Code located on the City website. Any
questions pertaining to this code may be
addressed to the Health Department at
(414) 329-5275.

IS IT TIME TO HAVE “
THE TALK?”
Presented by the American Association
of Retired Persons Volunteer
AARP developed this free seminar based
on their ongoing research on older drivers. The purpose of the seminar is to help
family members, caregivers, and friends
have sensitive and successful conversations with loved ones about driving safety,
especially when it is time to limit or stop
driving.
Older Driver Facts:
• Most older adults are safe drivers. However, the risks of accident, injury, and
fatality increase with age, and especially
with changes in medical conditions or
declines in physical and mental function.
• Older drivers and their close relatives
prefer that conversations and decisions
about driving safety be handled within
the family, with the exception of possibly
including doctors in those discussions.
• Conversations about the need to modify
driving can be difficult for older drivers
and their families.
Seminar Participants Learn to:
• Recognize the value of driving to older
adults and how a perceived loss of independence can affect decision making;
• Create opportunities to talk about driving
safety and transportation needs;
• Make objective observations of driving
skills;
• Help meet transportation needs if driving
is limited; and
• Develop a plan for more successful and
sensitive conversations about limiting or
stopping driving.

From your City Forester
Communiurty Happenings
Dennis Fermenich
Alert!
Emerald ash Borer is killing
ash trees in all parts of the city.
Although it is difficult to assess the true number
of ash trees killed in Greenfield, records suggest the
city has already lost over 200 private and municipal ash
trees to Emerald ash borer.
Don’t let your ash tree be the next to die from this voracious pest.
Learn how to protect your trees from EAB by visiting our Forestry information booth this
summer at the Greenfield Farmers market. There you will get up to date how to information on tree maintenance and treatment. Find out how you can inexpensively protect your
trees from Emerald ash Borer. Get the latest handouts on tree care, treatment and wood
utilization including information from the Wisconsin University Extension Office, Wisconsin DNR, Department of Agriculture and Greenfield Forestry division of DPW. Join us for
daily demonstrations of soil and injection treatments to save the ash trees.
In 2014, Greenfield DWP/Forestry began treating ash trees against EAB. To date, the city
has treated over 300 ash trees on city streets and in park. This year, we will continue to
treat street and park trees and expand the program to treatment of some prominent ash
trees on school grounds. Greenfield has several neighborhoods where ash trees were
planted before EAB (emerald ash borer), was discovered in North America and we feel
treatment is essential to preserving the quality of those neighborhoods. Reports from EAB
infested communities in Michigan and elsewhere tells us to expect 100% of the untreated
ash trees to die from this pest within 13 years after introduction. Although EAB was officially documented in Greenfield in 2013, it appears that some EAB activity (insect galleries) in Greenfield may be as much as 7 years old. Once introduced, as the EAB population
gradually builds; it takes 9 years to kill the first 20% of the ash trees. After that time the
EAB population reaches a flash point and the remaining ash begin to die at a rate of 20%
each year until all of the untreated trees are dead. Let me repeat: 100% of the untreated
ash are expected to die from this pest within 13 years after introduction. If your right of
way ash is not part of the treatment program, the city will allow you to hire a professional
to treat it for you but at your expense. Because funds are so limited, the city will only be
treating the best of the ash trees and only where their loss would have the greatest effect
on the street or neighborhood.
If you own an ash and want to keep it, START TREATING IT NOW!

Tennis Instruction
Youth (Ages 8+) and Adults
Our popular Tennis Program offers progressive instructional classes and Junior Tennis
League play for teens. These structured lessons emphasize individual attention and patience—which will surely make you an “ACE” in no time! Game rules and format, skill drills,
practice techniques and match strategies (for the more advanced player) are reviewed
throughout the program. This year we are adding a new component to our lessons called
“Rally Ball.” Rally Ball teaches the participants tennis as a team sport. The game is altered
slightly by modifying the traditional serve and scoring to make it easy to be successful and
fun right away.
LEVELS:
BEGINNERS (New participants and/or up to 3 previous semesters) Learn the basics of tennis
such as proper grip, strokes, volley, serve and scoring.
ADVANCED BEGINNER (Previous instruction or ability to demonstrate beginner skills)
Advanced Beginners work for consistency and knowledge of beginning tennis strategies
leading up to confidence in playing.
INTERMEDIATE (Participants with previous lesson/playing time-able to play tennis set with
scoring) Intermediate players are working up to a level of playing a competitive set of
tennis through drills, which develop consistency and further skill techniques.
ADVANCED (Participants with past playing time) Advanced players are strong players
seeking refinement on strokes and assistance in playing strategies-designed for the more
competitive player.

Disc golf is the same game that people
called Frisbee golf 25 years ago, but today’s version is more organized and more
refined. Disc Golf is much like traditional
golf, only you use discs instead of clubs,
& the hole is replaced with a basket. With
more serious disc golfers, there are different discs used for driving, approach shots,
and putting. This program will allow you
to try out different discs to learn more
about the sport. Introduction and practice
with the discs will take place at Greendale

the final 2 classes, when we meet at the

FOOTBALL 4 TEENS
Wednesdays

Mike Seavert, Commissioner
Calling all diehard NFL fans…whether
you’re a beginner or pro, come play
fantasy football games with a unique
twist, while meeting others and making
new friends. Our main game combines
traditional fantasy football with an
eliminator-type game. No two weeks
are the same, as you draft a new team
each week. The twist here is that once
you choose a player, you cannot choose
them again the rest of the season. This
is not only a game of skill, but one of
strategy (while learning about players from all NFL teams). Other games
played are a traditional fantasy football
game where you choose a team within
a budget, and team pick ‘em. We meet
only three times throughout the
season. The rest is all done from home
through a custom website for our program, so participants will need to have
an e-mail address to participate.

pressure of any kind. Students will receive
proper instructions on how to use all the
machines and free weights. They will also
be given great workouts that can be done

Water Exercise Classes
For Men & Women
Water fitness classes are a fun and enjoyable way to get a great daily workout. The
water is a truly unique environment, and
has the potential to dramatically improve
your exercise regimen. Water’s natural
buoyancy allows participants to exercise
with very little impact on the joints and
spine. It’s a safe, efficient workout in a
dynamic social environment. Each class
is targeted for a different fitness level—
participants are encouraged to work at
their own pace. No swimming skills are
required for these shallow water workouts.
Locker room and shower facilities available. Please bring your own towel, swim
suit, and lock. Water shoes are strongly
recommended. Please consult your health
care professional about the amount and
type of activity right for you.
Warm Water Pool—temperature varies
between 88-90°.

Walk With Confidence
Vickie Strachota, Arthritis Foundation
Certified Instructor
Myth: E xercise puts me at risk of falling
down.
Fact: Regular exercise, by building
strength and stamina, prevents loss of
bone mass and improves balance, actually
reducing your risk of falling.
Walk With Confidence is a structured social
walking program that offers support to
help participants develop successful
exercise routines. Little by little, you
will see improvements as you begin to
strengthen muscle and improve balance–both important in staying active and
avoiding falls.
The program is designed for people with
or without arthritis and can even be modified to meet the needs of individual participants so that each person can develop
an exercise routine that fits their unique
goals. All classes will start with a chair
warm-up to increase range of motion,
improve muscle tone, and promote cardiovascular health —then easing into walking
at a comfortable pace.
Please wear aerobic/fitness shoes, and
bring your towel and a bottle of water.
Canes, walkers, and fitness poles welcome.
Enrollment: Min. 6 / Max 15.

Chair Flex & Stretch
Vickie Strachota, Arthritis Foundation
Certified Instructor
Suitable for those who prefer a more
gentle approach to exercise and want to
improve mobility, strength, and balance
to the entire body. Great for those with
arthritis*, providing participants with a fun
and beneficial exercise experience that
can supplement, but does not replace, exercises prescribed by a doctor or therapist.
This group exercise program has been
especially designed and modified to incorporate a series of movements and proper
exercise techniques to help increase
overall stamina.
Set to music to rejuvenate you, this class is
done while sitting on a chair so the pelvis
and hips are stabilized, enabling easier
movement of the torso and arms without
fear of injury or strain. Optional standing
posture alternatives will be introduced as
well, with the use of a chair for balance
and support. No mat exercises or lying on
the floor. Canes, walkers, and fitness poles
welcome. Enrollment: Min. 7 / Max. 25.
(*) Adults with any type of arthritis or
fibromyalgia are eligible. Participants
must be able to walk independently or,
if in a wheelchair, they must be able to
transfer to a straight-backed chair. Before
you start any exercise program, you should
consult with your physician.

DiAnn Stasik, M.Ed.,CI-PTr and NETA Certified, Instructor

Become part of the legacy of the parks
As part of the City’s 50th Celebration Legacy Project in 2006, a fountain was placed in Bicentennial Park (51st & Layton, near the Law
Enforcement Center, Fire Station and Library) as a centerpiece. Surrounding features include flag poles, benches, and a stone marker, all
framed by a beautiful garden and landscaping. The outer area of the fountain is paved with bricks, providing a unique opportunity to
make a lasting mark to:
• Commemorate your family’s place in Greenfield History
• Honor a family member, friend or associate
• Celebrate a special occasion/event
• Remember a loved one
• Recognize an achievement
• Promote your business
The bricks are engraved using a laser process that will penetrate, melt and crystallize the clay brick, resulting in a permanent engraving.
The money raised from this project will help fund numerous projects within the City of Greenfield Parks & Recreation Department. Orders
are accepted throughout the year. Bricks are installed in either Spring or Fall. All contributions are tax deductible, pricing is subject to
change. Brick Order Form

Five E-Z Ways to Register
The Greenfield Department of Parks & Recreation registration process was developed to permit fair access to recreation programs and
services. Greenfield residents may register NOW (non-residents, see policy noted below).
Registrations received will be drawn at random and processed daily. Random registration is fair for today’s busy families, since you can
mail or use the drop-box/fax/on-line anytime, even if the office is closed. Confirmations will be mailed, unless otherwise noted.
Be sure to double check for accuracy when completing the registration form (birth date is now required).
Those who register on-line will need to create a household account before actually registering to verify residency status.
