Driving the news: According to a news release issued Monday, community members met with Parks and Recreation Department staff and requested the city cancel the annual overseeding and instead explore alternative ground cover that would reduce the amount of time needed for overseeding. The staff heard the request and took action.
- “We are listening to our community and keeping the park open rather than overseeding this year while we look into other maintenance options,” said Yvonne Wise, the city’s director of parks and recreation.
