- **Event Name**: Letter Writing to Save Shoop Park ?
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Shoop Park is more than just a piece of land in Racine, WI  it's a sanctuary for wildlife and a haven for people seeking solace in nature. It is a vital route for migrating birds each spring and fall, drawing visitors who wish to connect with the natural beauty and tranquility only a location like Shoop Park can offer. Not to mention its historical roots, given to the City of Racine in 1917 with the promise that it would remain a public park in perpetuity, accessible to all people every day of the year.

The Johnson-Leipold/Keiser group's current golf course plan threatens to erase this beloved environment. Their proposal includes cutting down all the trees along the shoreline and most of the trees on the east side of Lighthouse Drive and many trees on the west side of Lighthouse Drive.  This would not only devastate local ecology but also rob countless individuals of a cherished place of reflection and interaction with nature.

Furthermore, relocating the parking lot and clubhouse from Shoop Park to Wind Point Lighthouse grounds in a recently established green space will harm the peace and serenity of the Lighthouse area.  Trucking in tons of sand and rock to create a 'dune style course' pays no respect to the area's natural landscape and history.
