Installation began on <br /> November 2 and will be completed during the winter months. Staff continues to regrade and reshape <br /> the infield playing surfaces at YAC and Oak Knoll in order to correct drainage issues on both fields. <br /> Dave Anderson Athletic Complex Irrigation <br /> Installation of the new irrigation system at the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex was delayed due to <br /> adult softball and youth football seasons going longer than anticipated as a result of weather <br /> cancelations. With the colder temperatures and frost beginning to form,work on the new irrigation <br /> system will not be complete in 2017 and will require work to be conducted in 2018. Staff will be <br /> working on scheduling of the irrigation installation with Recreation Staff in the coming weeks. <br /> Skating Rinks <br /> Staff completed preparations on the outdoor skating rinks to include replacement of damaged boards at <br /> Lions Park and Handke Pit as well as grading and rolling the surfaces at these two locations. Staff is <br /> prepared to begin flooding rinks once weather conditions permit. <br /> Volunteer Efforts <br /> Volunteers conducted several projects over the past month to include regrading a section of trail at <br /> Woodland Trails Regional Park,installing a stairway to the observation deck at the north end of the <br /> Great Northern Trail,removing fence posts,barbwire fence, and debris from the William H. Houlton <br /> Conservation area, and pruning trees at the City Hall Campus,in addition to the many other routine <br /> tasks they conduct within the parks. <br /> POWERED IT <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2017\11-08-17 PRC Packet\8.2 Park Superintendents NATURE <br /> Report.docx <br />
