We opened on January 1 and closed February 19. The rinks were open for 50 days of skating this year which is a little under the average. With the early ice and snow cover on the lakes this year, it was necessary to put the aeration system in Lake Susan. The lake is monitored weekly for oxygen levels. When the oxygen level drops to a predetermined level, we start the aeration. This year's start up date for the aeration system was February 19. The park department is involved in two new projects this year - trail pavement management and tree inventory. Pavement management was started most recently. We have inspected and entered the date of inspection into the computer for all trails north of Highway 5 (22miles). South of Highway 5 (20+ miles) will be completed early this spring. The tree inventory program is just getting started with some on s~te training on how to use the equipment. The park maintenance staff is in the process of checking and inspecting equipment in preparation for summer activities and grounds maintenance. They are checking all lawn mowers and weed whips and making repairs where needed. They are also building two sets of lacrosse goals for use this summer. Safety inspection of all playgrounds have been completed and any needed repairs have been made. Cleaning and inspection of the wood duck houses have been completed. We had 43% of our houses used this year.
