• In this area you have Twin Lakes Park. A large renovation is hoping to begin the Fall of 2017.

  • Parks has just completed public comment and the project is currently in design. Along with this project, the Parks department will be looking at some drainage issues that has created a mosquito problem. They are currently working at trying to solve the drainage issues without losing the trees on the property.
