Project Summary
$4.6 million has been secured to develop a Multi-Modal Trailhead Center at the rec center/ballfield site. The funds received from the State of Minnesota Legislature, LCCMR and the Federal TAP program, will be used to replace the aging rec building with new meeting space for the public to use, wayside rest facilities including coin operated showers, large light parking areas to accommodate larger vehicles and trailers, safe and separate access for both motorized users (ATV/Snowmobile) and non-motorized users (biking and hiking), and have new playground and picnic areas. The project is currently under environmental review, with design and engineering to follow. Estimated project completion date is 2024.
