[ARCHIVED] Parks Winter Preparations

Ellison Park sign.

As much as we’d like to ignore it, winter will be here before we know it! In the coming weeks, staff will be preparing our parks for winter operations. This includes:

  • Blowing out irrigation throughout our public spaces.
  • Turning off water hook ups in all city parks. This is for all city parks including Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park and Riverside Cemetery. 
  • Removing the basketball hoops at West Bridge Park in preparation for the outdoor skating rink.
  • Closing the Community Garden on Monday, October 20.. Gardeners, please remember to clear your area so staff can till the garden for next season.
  • Adding stakes along various pathway and sidewalk routes in preparation for snow removal.
  • Pioneer Park bathrooms close October 5; Ellison Park bathrooms close October 20.

Questions? Contact the Parks Department at (763) 295-2711.
