In 2008, Jerry and Kathy Berg donated approximately 40 acres of land to the City of Watertown for the eventual creation of a Community Park. This land is located on CSAH 20, immediately adjacent to the Watertown-Mayer Elementary School. In 2012, the City extended streets and utilities through the Community Park property, as defined in the 2008 Donation Agreement, preparing the space for further development.
The Park and Recreation Commission began to define its vision for the space as it adopted the Community Park Master Plan (2010) (PDF) which is intended to serve as a guide for future investment in the space.
