Park & Trail Report
Another busy summer has come to an end and most of our seasonal employees
have left to go back to high school or college. Five senior seasonal workers are
still on staff keeping the parks mowed and assisting with other assorted duties.
Athletic Fields
The park staff has striped 18 soccer fields and 2 football fields for this year. Also,
at Bandimere, soccer field #2 was not scheduled for use this fall so we could
reseed it.
Reseeding
Lake Ann has seen many improvements in the last two years with the
reconstruction of the road and parking lots, the installation of more field lights,
and a new pavilion shelter. These improvements left the area with a lot of
damage to the grassy areas. Dirt was added along with leveling and reseeding in
these areas. There is also turf restoration being done at Pheasant Hills, Bluff
Creek and City Center.
Sod
Because of the dry weather, it took one person every other day to water the new
sod. Some areas of Lake Ann were laid with new sod because we felt that
reseeding would not be effective. The hills and ditch area by the ball fields and
around the new pavilion also received new sod. Sod and shrubs were placed
around the new entrance monument at Pioneer Cemetery.
Trails
The crew has been working on some tree removal in parks and brushing out on
some trails.
