His volunteer efforts were recognized Monday when the Elk <br /> River City Council voted to rename the Orono Athletic Complex,the Dave Anderson Athletic <br /> Complex. <br /> Anderson said the next day that it is an honor to have a park named after him. Then he <br /> joked"It's quite an honor just to be considered, let alone have a park named after you when <br /> you're not dead" <br /> Elk River Parks and Recreation Director Michael Hecker described Anderson's contributions <br /> as "tremendous and unparalleled." Hecker said Anderson has spent the past 30 years <br /> volunteering thousands of hours creating, improving and maintaining Elk River's park <br /> system. Anderson's volunteers resume is nine pages long. Anderson has been instrumental <br /> in many things, including the development of the Orono Athletic Complex that now bears <br /> his name, Hecker said. That work stretched over 17 years, beginning in 1985 and continuing <br /> until 2002 <br /> • 1 y <br /> " " pig <br /> 4 ft 'S■ <br /> • III Dave Anderson 0 <br /> AO- LeMIN.Hjiiir taitt-7 t. <br /> Athletic i• t1 <br /> Complex <br /> Trott Brook Farms Park Kliever Lake Fields Handke Stadium <br />
