Notable Quotes (3)
I have two young kids and we use the parks and the trail systems extensively so it was super interesting to me to be able to be part of the discussions around keeping our systems up to date.
The funding for the playground equipment and poured in place rubber surfacing came from American Rescue plan act funds and a grant from Minnesota energy resources corporation.
I'm excited for the skate park... but the one other thing I'm I'm excited for is the pickle ball courts. That's the one amenity that is all ages.
