LAKE LOUISE PLAYGROUND - TEMPORARY CLOSURE
Beginning August 17th , the playground and swing set area at the Lake Louise Park will be temporarily closed for maintenance and repairs. We anticipate reopening in the next three weeks, depending on weather conditions. Park visitors will notice construction fencing and signage going up this week and are encouraged to avoid the playground area until the project is completed. The walking path will remain open but please remember that heavy equipment operators may not be able to see or hear you while they are working so it's very important to stay out of the marked construction site for your safety.
