After Friday night's storms, there are several trees across the trails and many of the trail treads have ruts and debris.

P&R staff is scheduled to come in on Saturday to begin to work on the trails, so please use caution especially if you see equipment.

Please let us know of any problems you see by emailing Mike Griggs at mbg@GoColumbiaMo.com or leaving a phone message at 573-874-7202.

Stephens Lake Amphitheater 8-20-2010

The orchestra pit, ADA accessible seating and half of main entry were stained yesterday, 8-19-2010. Next the stage floor and walls will receive the same treatment.

Smiley Lane Park 8-20-2010

Bioswale & Raingarden almost complete and ready for Autumn planting.

Wildlife already making the best of the water retaining properties of the sand/soil/mulch mix.

After the Rain Garden basin itself is mulched with Rainbow Rock, the storm-water treatment system will be mostly complete, except the plant materials which will be installed in early Autumn. Just around the corner.

Lange Park update

The weather has cooperated and the work at Lange Park and on the track for Lange Middle School is going well.

The site grading for the park has been completed and most of the trail is in. We have our building permit for the shelter and work will begin on it soon. Seeding of disturbed areas will start soon as well.

The rock work for the track has been completed. There is some touch up along the edges and some seeding in a swale to be done. The swale, behind the trailers, will correct a drainage problem and get runoff to move to the existing inlet.

Lange Park Playground is open

The playground at Lange Park is open for "business". The playground was installed last week. This week a Parks and Rec crew got most of the curbing installed and got the safety mulch put in. There are no concrete walks yet so if it's wet it will be muddy. Lange Park is located on Smiley Lane near the entrance to Lange Middle School.

Parking Lot closure at Albert Oakland

The small lot at Edris Drive (behind Oakland Junoir High School and near the basketball court) will be closed for sealing Thursday August 5 through Friday August 6 for sealing. No traffic will be allowed on the lot.

Lange Neighborhood Park

Construction of the new Lange Park began last week. The Playground has been installed and the area for the shelter has been graded. construction of the curbing around the playground has started. Hopefully a couple dry days will allow for the playground mulch to be delivered.

The first part of the running track at Lange Middle School has been started as well. This 400 meter three lane track will be used by the school PE and athletic clubs during school hours. During non-school use it will be available for the public.
