Busing or driving to the grocery store via University Avenue

County Road and University Avenue are the access points to Schmitt Park, both connecting residents with the nearby grocery store.

Hiking around Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary and Triangle Sports Area

Located near the city's namesake bay, the neighborhood is also close to the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. Wearing sturdy hiking boots or cross-country skis in the snow, visitors adventure along the 5-mile trail that winds through the 600-acre park. The park looks over the Lake Michigan bay and offers anglers spots to cast their fishing lines. Also to the north is the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB), which offers trails throughout campus, like the Arboretum Trail. Along the southern side of Schmitt Park is the Arnie Wolff Sports Complex, which features six soccer fields for the city’s local leagues. The eastern Green Bay's soccer league—the Green Bay Strikers—often play here. On the other side of I-43, Triangle Sports Area is another hiking destination, with a hilly terrain that's ideal for adventure-seeking hikers and mountain bikers. In the winter, it transforms into a local sledding and skiing spot.

Holiday plays at UWGB and Packers games at Lambeau

Because Schmitt Park is so close to UWGB, residents can attend the events hosted there, like the plays and shows hosted by the theatre department at the Weidner Center. Welty shares that many Green Bay residents head to this theater in the winter to catch a holiday performance. In the summer, Green Bay’s Broadway District hosts the Farmers’ Market on Broadway on Wednesday afternoons, featuring over 100 vendors and live music. Even though Schmitt Park residents are further from the Packers stadium than other neighborhoods, the whole city shows up at Lambeau Field during the pro football season to support their team.
