Breaking ground in summer 2025, Green Bay will have a new, unique year-round destination. Leicht Park is revolutionizing what it means to live, work, and play in the Broadway District. A high-design permanent stage, concessions, restrooms, and beer garden are turning the seasonal venue into a year-round park destination. Bird watching from the roof deck, parkgoers can listen to the birds, boats, lap of the water, or a concert. Design of the stage, pavilion, and site were influenced by natural forms—movement, water, and nature. The project is a partnership between the City of Green Bay Parks, Recreation & Forestry and the On Broadway Business Improvement Board.
