You never know what you might see or hear at Peace Park. An impromptu visit by 29:11 from South Africa brought goosebumps to those who happened to be nearby as they sang a song in praise of Nelson Mandela.
Starting in August 2022, work will begin on Phase 2. Unfortunately, our original style of paver brick has been discontinued. Fortunately, there is a similar style that we will be using in the new section of the path for Phase 2.
Best of all, the new sizes are slightly bigger but the prices remain the same.
New forms for ordering can be found on the FORMS page.
There are still spaces available in the original path.

THE BIG PICTURE OF THE PARK AFTER THE COMPLETION OF PHASE ONE.
PHASE TWO -
THE PATH WILL BE EXTENDED SOUTH ALONG 3RD STREET AND WILL INCLUDE A PATIO WITH A SEAT WALL FACING LAKE MICHIGAN.
This image shows a view of the Park from the south looking toward N. 3rd St. It shows the extension of the path, the viewing patio and seat wall and the future planting area.
We have applied for a grant from the Sheboygan County Stewardship Committee. We hope to begin work in August, 2022.
The northeast corner of the Park is now the home of the Sister Cities Peace Gardens. Three gardens, one each in honor of Esslingen, Germany, Tsubame, Japan and Sheboygan
The gardens include plants that are either grown in those cities or are representative of them. Plants in the Esslingen garden include daisies, brunnera and Edelweiss while plants in the Tsubame garden will include hosta, pink asters, purple iris and a Japanese red maple tree.
