<br />Grow Township and has resulted in some fine neighborhood parks. ~ Some of
<br />the residents living around the Whispering Pines Park are also getting
<br />together to plan and prepare a skating rink there for their children.
<br />It is very rewarding for the residents to plan together and prepare park
<br />land in their area for recreationaJ.. activities suitable to the land and
<br />working with the Park Board.
<br />
<br />The entrance and corners (also some outlines) of the parks have been marked
<br />with white posts. Many parks are not square, of course. We thought it
<br />would be nice for the people living around these parks to know what equip-
<br />ment they now contain. Hunters Hill is mowed, has 10 posts, a sandbox,
<br />a bench, chinning bars, picnic table, grill and swings. Riverwood Hills
<br />is mowed, has 2 ball fields with bases and backstops, 4 posts, and 2
<br />benches. Shawn Acres has been treated for gophers, mowed, has a slide,
<br />ball field, 3 posts, a sandbox, parallel bars, 1 bench, and swings. Deer-
<br />wood Park is mowed and has 3 posts. This is primarily a nature area.
<br />Ford Brook is mowed, has a slide, 4 posts, a sandbox, a bench, chinning
<br />bars, picnic table, grill and overhead bars. Whispering Pines, large
<br />park, is mowed in some areas, has 16 posts, a sandbox, 2 benches, picnic
<br />table, grill and swings. This is also a nature park. Brookview Park is
<br />mowed, cleaned up, has 3 posts, 3 picnic tables, 3 grills, and swings.
<br />Peltzer Park is mowed, has a slide, monkey bars, 1 post, sandbox, chin-
<br />ning bars, 2 picnic tables, 2 grills, swings and overhead bars. Green-
<br />land Hills has been levelled. Ramsey Terrace has been treated for gophers,
<br />mowed, has 3 posts, a culve~has been put in, chinning bars, picnic table,
<br />grill, swings, and overhead bars. We hope you and your children will take
<br />time to enjoy these parks. They are for your pleasure.
<br />
<br />WE HAVE TOWNSHIP MAPS for sale here at the office at 50~ each. They of-
<br />ten save a lot in gas if you are not just sure which is the shortest route.
<br />
<br />OUR HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT has been very busy this summer. We have many com-
<br />pliments on the maintenance of our roads. Many problem areas have been
<br />brought under control.
<br />
<br />WE ALSO HAVE ORDINANCE NO. 73-11 on regulating the installation, con-
<br />struction, alteration, extension, repair and maintenance of individual
<br />sewage disposal systems, requiring permits for, and licensing of persons
<br />engaged in the construction thereof; providing for inspection, prescrib-
<br />ing penalties; and adopting by reference the 1971 Minnesota Individual
<br />Sewage Disposal System Code available to be picked up here at the office.
<br />We also have an orange card that should be hung in your basement near
<br />your water system. Please stop in to pick up yours.
<br />
<br />At least once each year the owner of any system equipped with a distri-
<br />bution box shall arrange for the opening of the distribution box and the
<br />removal of any settled solids therein. Such material shall be disposed
<br />of to the septic tank or by other means acceptable to the Board.
<br />
<br />We are very proud of our Police Department. They are very busy and very
<br />efficient. The emergency number for the Police Department is 427-1212.
<br />We can all help them and help ourselves by being very aware of what is
<br />going on in our immediate neighbor~oods. Try to get license numbers if
<br />a strange car is where it shouldn't be.' We have a big area and we will
<br />all have to do all we can to help in these matters.
