The mild weather we've been experiencing has allowed us to <br />continue working on our sports fields much later than usual. <br />Athletic field projects have included: Top dressing, core aerifying and overseeding soccer and <br />football fields worn areas, infield renovation at Birch Park and working track renovation at <br />Sunrise Park Fields #1 and #2. <br />Other maintenance highlights for November have included: <br />• Winterizing and storing summer equipment. <br />• Equipment changeover (from mower to blower). <br />• Removed damaged equipment from Brandywood playground. <br />• Installed rink berms at Lino, Marshan and Birch Parks. <br />• Repaired broken park benches at Rice Lake Estates Park and along Clearwater Creek <br />trail. <br />• Closed City Hall skate park. Installed orange snow fencing around perimeter. <br />• Repaired and realigned gates on athletic fields at Centennial Middle School. <br />• Black Duck trail — performed shoulder work in potential washout areas. <br />• Picked up all picnic tables — stored under picnic shelters at Sunrise and Lino Parks. <br />• Maintained existing wood duck houses, installed 5 new houses. Of the 24 nest boxes <br />available this spring 14 were successfully used by wood ducks resulting in approximately <br />125 -175 ducklings jumping from our boxes this spring. <br />Those are November highlights more to come in December. <br />sw /parkboard/mike hoffman/November 01 Park Update.doc <br />
