A few places in Roseau have been getting a facelift!

The Gilbertson Ball field has a brand new arch that looks incredible and will be a wonderful way to invite other cities to come play us once baseball season starts up again in spring.

The warming house at the Memorial Arena has been upgraded with tongue and groove interior siding and new water fountains, as well as upgrades to the trophy cases.

We’ve also been working to complete the Riverview Park vision — including completing the landscaping at the skatepark, adding a fence near the basketball court and adding a skating rink. The skating rink will be available as soon as it’s complete this winter! Don’t forget while you’re skating to check out the sledding hill down the walking trail.

This winter, the Parks and Rec Department is also planning to offer cross-country ski trails at Oak Crest Golf Course. We are looking for someone that would be interested in starting a trail club that meets every so often to get together and use the trails! If this is something you’re interested in, please contact Sara Hamman at 242-0063.
