Otsego Parks & Rec reports boardwalk finished, emerald ash maintenance ongoing and Winterfest planned
Summary
Parks and Recreation reported the park boardwalk and shelter/overlook are complete or nearly complete, emerald ash borer maintenance continues, and Winterfest is scheduled Saturday at Seagull Prairie Park (time reported but not fully confirmed).
At the City of Otsego council meeting on Monday, Jan. 27 the Parks and Recreation update reported that the Carriage Landing shelter and overlook are complete except for some railing work and that a new boardwalk from the parking lot to the trail system is finished — the first boardwalk in the park system, the parks representative said.
Parks staff and commissioners said maintenance to address emerald ash borer impacts is ongoing. The parks representative also reported strong use of a site referred to in the transcript as the “iceberg.”
Council members and staff discussed Winterfest, which the mayor said is scheduled for Saturday at Seagull Prairie Park and suggested a 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. window; a city staff member (Adam) said he did not have the confirmed time on hand. The transcript records the mayor making an event announcement and encouraging attendance; the exact Winterfest schedule was not confirmed in the excerpts provided.
The Parks and Recreation report also noted a canceled Parks & Rec meeting for the month, with updates distributed by email. No formal council action was recorded on parks items in the provided transcript excerpts.
