Trails are 90% complete; Both New Bridges are here but due to rain waiting to be placed; Bottom portion of slide ordered-$846.00; Will put wood chips in the dinosaur area; Once trash can receptacles and benches are in they will get set
Bathrooms are 85% complete; Stall doors for women; Mens area almost complete. Amy Hedtke voiced that the citizens in her area do not want trails tied in.
