The Winamac Park Board members took public comment last week on what members of the community would like to see in terms of projects at the town’s park.
Suggestions were made to install more security cameras at the park, ADA accessible restrooms on the west side of the Swinging Bridge, more restrooms in general, expand the paved areas on the west side of the park with a walking trail, concrete steps as an access to the canoe launch, front gate monument maintenance, pickleball court resurfacing, picnic tables on the northwest corner of the pickleball court, and softball resurfacing.
Secretary Kim Burke noted that about 130 survey responses were returned and there were comments that residents are happy with the appearance and overall maintenance of the park and the board members commended Park Manager Aaron Spangley for his work.
The responses will be worked into a draft to be turned in to the DNR by January 15. A draft will be approved in a special meeting Thursday, December 30 at 9 a.m. ET. Recommendations will be offered before a final draft is designed by the park board and is submitted to the DNR by April 15.
