Playground Equipment for Trailside Park <br /> The Clerk distributed a letter from the DNR supporting playground <br /> equipment in Trailside Park. Mayor Adams explained that during the <br /> Comp Plan update discussion took place regarding the need for a <br /> playground in the Trailside Park. Mayor Adams suggested that in order to <br /> determine the location, style and size of the playground in Trailside Park a <br /> committee should be formed. The Mayor suggested that the proceeds <br /> from the sale of Chokecherry Trees could be used to purchase the <br /> playground equipment. She also suggested asking businesses for <br /> donations and requesting the Chamber to contribute toward the cost. <br /> Discussion was held about the possibility of using a part of the Chamber <br /> property for the playground. The advantages of this would be that there <br /> are toilets available and there is a parking lot at the Chamber site. <br /> The Mayor suggested forming a committee to study the issue and to look <br /> at the entire area from Woodman Street to Sibley Street listing the pros <br /> and cons from each. <br />
