UPDATE: Park Arthur Ribbon Cutting Moved to May 14
Acquired in 1996, Park Arthur hasn't been ready for prime time until this season, and officials are excited to officially open the park during a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, May 14, postponed from May 7 because of rain
Editor's Note: this article was updated to reflect the new ribbon cutting date on May 14.
There have been sneak peaks of portions of Park Arthur, which is situated on Muskego's north side between Martin Road and College Avenue, including an archery range and sledding hill.
However, the big draw is expected to be the park's largest feature, the regulation-sized baseball diamond. Muskego Parks and Recreation has been collaborating with groups like Muskego Youth Baseball to construct the field, which includes 90-foot base paths, outfield fencing and (this year) lights.

It will be only the second such field in the city, and is expected to alleviate the demand at Horn Field for league tournaments.
The opening of the field, and for that matter the rest of the park, will be celebrated during a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, May 14 at 4:30 p.m., hosted by the Muskego Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Connections. The group has also been working with the parks to promote "A Walk in the Parks" this season, which aims to encourage families to visit every Muskego park.
