It provides a recreation place for children up to age 12, a pleasant place to picnic with family and friends as well as a place for walkers and bikers on the adjacent city trail to rest.

City of Oconto Fish Cleaning Station

City of Oconto Fish Cleaning Station Grant

Packerland Team

On April 26, 2011 the Bond Foundation awarded the City of Oconto a grant in the amount of $18,000. This grant provided the funds to build a fish cleaning station at the overflow parking area of the Break Water. This station consists of a shelter that houses a stainless steel table and associated equipment necessary for the cleaning and disposal of fish remains.

The station has proven to be a tremendous attraction for not only the citizens of Oconto, but for fishermen who come from all over to fish on the Bay of Green Bay. It has been a valuable asset to the city of Oconto, especially during the many fishing tournaments held at the Break Water.
