Seasonals were mowing grass nearly every day of the <br /> summer. We were very lucky to have the new mowers, which worked great this <br /> summer. The high demand for park athletic field use also required constant field <br /> grooming. Our athletic fields received excellent maintenance this summer which is <br /> reflective in the evaluations of user groups. In addition to general parks maintenance, <br /> the parks crew participated in several repair projects including: replacing the shingles at <br /> Lakeside Park picnic shelter and Greenfield Park storage building, painting Hillview and <br /> Lambert hockey boards, installing amenities including a drinking fountain and trash <br /> receptacle at Oakwood Park, repairs to park buildings, fences, bridges, playground <br /> equipment, signs, nets, etc., and other constant duties including trash removal, <br /> fertilization, aeration, mowing, graffiti removal were performed. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> This summer quarter was as busy as every other summer seems to be. Summer <br /> recreation activities continued throughout the month of July and first part of August. <br /> Fall athletic programs began in mid-August continuing through and beyond September. <br /> -7 <br /> / , . <br /> M ytfSa, iron Director <br /> RECOMMENDATION; P.rks, Recreation and Forestry <br />
