Rezoning Allows For Recreation Area at Sikh Temple

The Sikh Temple of Wisconsin will add two sand volleyball courts, a tennis court and a soccer field.

The Oak Creek Common Council has approved a zoning change that will allow the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, 7512 S. Howell Ave., to build two sand volleyball courts, a tennis court and a soccer field.

The recreation area will be just south of the building. The proposal includes a "significant amount" of landscaping to screen the area from the neighborhood to the south.

Plans for the recreation area were in the works prior to the ο»ΏAug. 5 shootings at the templeο»Ώ.
