Goeres Park is a public park in Lodi, Wisconsin, United States. The park was established in 1935, when the village bought 20 acres (0.081 km2) of land for a new park and water plant. T.C. Goeres, president of the Lodi Canning Company and the park's namesake, developed the park, while Franz A. Aust, a professor of landscape architecture at the University of Wisconsin, designed it.[2][3] The park is divided by Spring Creek, which is bordered by a sandstone rip-rap. Historic features in the park include a memorial to Goeres' son Robert M. Goeres and a stone fountain dedicated to Dr. E. Velna Chala.[2][4] The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 9, 2009.[1]
