• <br /> goals have been installed at Random Park parking lot area, <br /> Hillview Park paved hockey rink area and a picnic table installed <br /> at Lambert Park this week. <br /> The golf course is speeding along. The sprinkling system is <br /> almost completely in except near the interceptor area. The <br /> greens are getting their mix installed. The maintenance building <br /> framework is up. The lining of the pond has been installed. The <br /> well is dug. Kurt has a trailer office on site and is spending <br /> most of his time there. We have hired a college student to be <br /> working on the ditch cleaning and tree trimming and thinning. He <br /> has been a real workhorse on the site. Yesterday it was so windy <br /> out there and so much dirt was blowing that you could hardly <br /> stand in the open without getting a head full of dirt. Otherwise <br /> the weather for the construction has been great. The soils are <br /> so good that even the rains have not affected construction. <br /> This week several trees have been planted in the parks. Two <br /> trees were planted at Lambert Park along the boulevard. Four <br /> trees were planted at Greenfield Park, three at City Hall Park <br /> (with 5 more expected to be planted near the softball field <br /> bleacher area) and four at Silver View Park along the south side <br /> • pathway area. Unfortunately we lost a tree here at City Hall in <br /> Tuesdays wind, a large branch from a tree at Greenfield as well . <br /> In addition, one tree that was a replacement tree at Lambert last <br /> year did not make it and will be replaced once again. We gain <br /> some and we lose some. <br /> Needless to say, there are lots of activities going on in the <br /> parks. <br /> The Playground Leaders sessions are held Thursday and Friday, <br /> June 16 and 17 . Monday begins the playgrounds programs and <br /> several other activities including swimming lessons, basketball <br /> camps, gymnastics camp, etc. <br /> The auditions for "Oliver" drew over 115 people. The production <br /> has been cast and rehearsals have already begun. Be sure to <br /> reserve your tickets! <br /> As always, if you are unable to attend the meeting please call me <br /> at 784-0618 . We really need all of you so that we can have a <br /> good showing for the VB challenge. Think spike! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Mary Saarion, Director <br /> Parks, Recreation & Forestry <br />
