Facilities

Bicentennial Park is centrally located between the Law Enforcement Center, Fire Station #1, and the Greenfield Public Library.

The initial site was established in 1976 in celebration of the Nation's Bicentennial through the fundraising efforts of community resident Dorothy Seeley. The site featured a monument, benches, and a time capsule to be opened at the Centennial Celebration (100 years), flag pole, and 13 different types of trees representing the 13 original colonies. Unfortunately not all the trees were native to Wisconsin and did not survive the cold winters.

In 2006, Bicentennial Park was officially dedicated as a City park. As part of the City’s 50th Celebrations held in 2007, 13 native to Wisconsin oak trees were planted during an Arbor Day Celebration to replace the original trees. To further enhance the park, a legacy fountain was placed in the park as a centerpiece. Funding for the fountain was made possible through the generous donations from Dan Jansen Family Fest, Inc. The fountain is framed by a beautiful dove shaped landscaping, which includes a variety of daylilies (Greenfield’s city flower), donated by the Daylily Foundation of Milwaukee. Engraved granite benches and flag poles were also added as well as a walkway of legacy bricks giving Greenfield residents, businesses, and organizations have the opportunity to purchase personalized engraved bricks and leave a lasting mark.

In 2024, the Veterans Memorial was added with funding from Dan Jansen Family Fest, Inc. The memorial features two granite benches, one granite dedication stone, six granite stones representing the six branches of service, and the highlight which is a granite memorial stone with names of Veterans with a connection to Greenfield.
