MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
FROM:
Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent
DATE:
December 8, 2003
SUBJECT: Park and Trail Maintenance Report
In preparation for winter, we have prepared all hockey rinks and family rinks for
flooding.
The weather has not been cooperating with us yet. With the temperature in the
mid 30's and no frost in the ground, we are just in a waiting mode to start flooding
the rinks. When the temperature drops enough so the ground freezes we can flood
around the clock and it should only take us about 4 days to have the rinks ready
for skating.
The trail from Lake Ann to Greenwood Shores has been completed. The blacktop
was stripped off and new base material was added to raise the trail with new
culverts and drain tile to direct the water away from the trail. This work was done
by the Park Maintenance Staff. A contractor was hired to lay the blacktop. The
Park Maintenance Staff then backfilled along the trail and reseeded the area.
The Curry Farms trail was also completed in the same manner. We did remove
the east half of the trail that was always in a wet area. We re-graded the easterly
part of the park to eliminate any water drainage problem and reseeded the area.
The entire tail at Curry Farms was overlaid with blacktop. We also rearranged the
back stop and ball field so there will no longer be a wet hole in the outfield.
Park Maintenance Staff would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.
