Gorney Park

Originally known as the Gravel Pit, the 40 acre, T-shaped parcel was purchased by the Town in the early 1960s. Located on the east side of Nicholson Road between 7 Mile Road and the county line, Gorney was opened in 1965, the same year as Linwood Park. It continued to be known as the Gravel Pit until 1974 when it was named Greenridge Park by Monica Laudenbach. Greenridge became Gorney Park in the late 1990s in recognition of Lawrence Gorney, who served as chairman of Caledonia's Parks Commission for many years and was instrumental in establishing the Town's excellent parks system.

The park has 2 ball diamonds, 2 playgrounds, 2 shelters (available for rent) with electricity, 2 soccer fields (1 full size, 1 practice field), walking trails, and a handicapped accessible fishing pier on a beautiful, fish-stocked pond which will make you want to come back for more fun. The Upper shelter is near the ball diamonds and playgrounds with a portable toilet. The Lower shelter is near the pond with an outhouse. Each shelter has picnic talbes and 1-2 grills for use.

Linwood Park

Located on a scenic piece of property along the west bank of the Root River and just north of 5 Mile Road, Linwood Park has a rather inauspicious origin. The land was originally used by Caledonia as the town dump. Opened in 1965, the park was initially only five acres in size and was the first park fully owned and operated by the Town of Caledonia. A naming contest for the park was held in 1968 and Mrs. Otto Lorence and Mrs. Leroy Schmidt were declared winners. They both suggested the name Linwood Park as a fitting testimony to the area's large and influential Bohemian community. Caledonia continued to add to the size of Linwood Park, and today it encompasses 17.8 acres. It has a shelter, 5 picnic tables, benches, and access directly to the Root River. The Caledonia Historical Society has relocated the Old Town Hall and the Old Sturtevant Train Depot next to the park. CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS.

Nicholson Wildlife Refuge

Caledonia's largest village owned and operated park, Nicholson Wildlife Center is a 127.4 acre wildlife refuge located east of Highway H between 4 and 5 Mile Road in the Caledonia pocket region. The center is primarily undeveloped marshland along Hoosier Creek with a wide variety of birds and small game calling the area home. Plands to aquire more land from farmers in the region were initiated in 1973, with the original goal being to purchase 200 acres. Much of the money to purchase the land, roughly 80%, was to come from state and federal sources. Unfortunately, bureaucratic tie-ups at those levels prevented the proposal from going forward until 1975 when an initial parcel of 25 acres was purchased. An additional 66 acres were added in July of 1976 and the wildlife center was named and opened to the public that year.

More land was aquired over the next several years, until Nicholson reached its current size in the 1980s. In 1983 a 2-1/2 mile loop was added to the park. The trail was dedicated to Louise Erickson, a long time resident of North Racine who has been a driving force in establishing the wildlife refuge. Ms. Erickson served as the chairwoman of the Nicholson Wildlife Committee in the early years. Today Nicholson Wildlife Center is a popular fieldtrip destination for area school children and an unblemished reminder of Caledonia's rural and scenic roots. CLICK FOR PHOTOS
