Both parks are being consid-ered for minor improvements to make them more user-friendly. At Tablyn Park, consideration is being given to pos-sible improvements to the parking lot which will allow for more parking. Along with parking improvements, more lighting is being looked at for the parking area and sledding hill. Demontreville Park will see improvements to the baseball field area this year. Such improvements will consist of minor field grading and infield fence improvements including backstop modifications. Work will continue to take place at Savona Park in 2018. This year mulch will be added to the play and swing areas while adjoining areas will be graded and seeded with brush and trees being cut and trimmed in other areas of the park. The City is partnering with the Stillwater Area Scholastic Cycling Advocates (SASCA) with plans to add a mountain biking trail in Reid Park sometime in 2018. Rennovations at Lions Park are nearing completion. Watch they City’s website and Facebook for informa-tion on a ribbon-cutting ceremony later this summer.
