Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 /D. October 26, 1999 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor SUBJECT: October Park Maintenance Highlights October has flow by as it always seems to and with November, just around the corner, we know the cold and snow will be upon us shortly. October has found us putting our parks to bed for the winter as well as working on a number of park and trail improvement projects. MAINTENANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR OCTOBER • Mowing and garbage pickup at all park locations. • Trail Restoration Three trail segments (Marshan, Aqua Lane, and Fox Trace) received restoration work along the edge of the trail. Work consisted of adding fill, grading, tilling, raking, sodding, watering, and rolling sod at each location. 825 yards of sod was laid to complete all three areas. • Lino Park Park sign landscaping — see Eagle Scout project summary for details. Parking lot — a new bituminous parking lot has been installed as part of the Lake Drive improvements. Maintenance staff removed the fence separating the playground from the parking lot so the blacktop could be run up to the concrete walkway. The fencing has been re- installed. New sod has been laid around the park sign as well as the boulevard between the parking lot and Lake Drive. • Ballfield Improvements Sunrise Fields #1 and #2 — Lip reduction where infield ag -lime meets outfield turf and where warning track meets outfield turf. Over time a prominent lip forms as the ag -lime mat is either washed by rain or blown by wind into the adjacent turf. Maintenance staff has corrected this problem by sod cutting out the affected area, altering grade and soil composition where necessary, and re- laying existing sod to establish a new level transition line in these areas. • Maintenance staff has made additional cutouts for the upcoming Turkey Shoot. • Trail inspection.
