Council approves pickleball setup at Whittier Park and budgets 2025 porta‑potty for Kiddie Park
Summary
Following a parks‑survey request, the Kandiyohi City Council approved installing a pickleball net and court lines at Whittier Park and voted to budget for a porta‑potty at Kiddie Park in 2025; the parks committee is developing a longer‑term parks plan.
The Kandiyohi City Council approved two near‑term park measures on July 15 after a parks committee review of a community survey: installing a pickleball net and court lines on the Whittier School tennis court and budgeting for a porta‑potty at Kiddie Park for the 2025 season.
Council Member Scott McGillivray moved to approve the pickleball setup at Whittier Park; Council Member David Streich seconded and the motion carried. Council Member Streich moved to budget for a porta‑potty at Kiddie Park for 2025 (in addition to existing seasonal units at Whittier and Bell parks); Council Member Jeff Clark seconded and the motion carried. The council also said it will consider a porta‑potty for Eagle Park.
Why it matters: The actions respond to resident survey feedback and prioritize lower‑cost, immediate amenities while the parks committee develops a longer‑term maintenance and improvement plan.
What comes next: Parks committee work on a comprehensive parks plan will continue; staff will work on procurement and scheduling for the approved items.
