Over the past two summers, The Village of Calumet DDA has put a lot of time and effort into updating the Agassiz Park bathrooms. Improvements include automatic doors, new paint, floors, bathroom fixtures and partitions, baby changing stations and a new roof.

Thank you to Copper Country Carpentry LLC, Chris Spagnotti and his crew, for going above and beyond to get the space open and replacing the roof quickly!

During the summer months, the bathroom is open 7am-8pm daily.

We are excited to continue work in Agassiz Park, and this is a great start!

We are seeking a licensed contractor to install our newly completed mural at the Village of Calumet's Calumet Commons Park. It is a four-panel construction that we hope to install on vertical posts. Please message us or email [email protected]. We hope to get this project completed within the next month.

This morning, we had some volunteers from our new Village of Calumet Beautification Group mulch all of the garden beds in the Calumet Commons Park! The beds are looking great and should hold more moisture now.

We plan to meet again next month to move some plants to better locations for them to thrive next summer.

Thank you, ladies, for your help!

If you know this vehicle, please see if they can move it for farmers market today. We know it’s tough with the market in the parking lot, but our market is the biggest in the region and we are so thankful to have them in our community!

Good morning! It’s market day! If you’re the owner of this vehicle, please move it out of the market space!
