It’s hard to begin thinking about Fall when Minnesota is now having the best weather of the year. But “I Love Fall!” Right now Owatonna truly exemplifi es the tagline “The City of Friendliness and Beautiful Parks”….these MN perfect temperatures get neighbors, friends, family, and community members outside to exercise, play, and interact with each other. Have you visited our parks lately? The maintenance crew has put in a lot of work and have them in beautiful shape. It won’t be long and the Fall colors will start to appear. I certainly hope you take the time to get out and enjoy your parks and the beautiful scenery they all have to offer. Talking about scenery….the Fall is a perfect time to grab your camera for some amazing photos with all the amazing colors. Whether you enjoy snapping away at historic sites, landmarks, wildlife, scenery, or family and pets enjoying the parks; there are plenty of opportunities around town! This brochure has us looking ahead to some very popular returning programs, some new & improved, and some “new” programs. Be sure to take a look at senior place programming. They are fi nding some amazing ways to have “new” intergenerational programs…we hope you give them a try!

Speaking about popular….the Trick or Treat Trail last year had an overwhelming attendance, so we’ve improved it! This year it will be held on Saturday, October 31 from 2-4 pm at Mineral Springs Park. Check out the details inside. Staff is working to come up with “new” exciting, family friendly activities! If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let us know. Stasis quo is not what you should expect for our staff members and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Boards. Another great Fall activity would be to take in some golf at Brooktree Golf Course, as we

have many specials in the Fall. Golfer or not, be sure to check out the “Clubhouse Patio” at Brooktree. You can enjoy the fi re pit while you enjoy the “Famous Burger and Fresh Cut Fries” with your favorite beverage! Watch for a “Patio Party” we will be having in September. Jake Jones will be playing music. See more information on page 15.

A community event “Brooktree Fall Shindig” featuring music by Jake Jones on the patio from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m.. Golfer? We will have great specials! Hungry? Taco bar, pizza specials, half price appetizers! Biker? The Wednesday night Wobblers Group will be meeting at Brooktree this evening! Thirsty? Beverage specials all night! Come enjoy the 1st day of Fall, Wednesday, September 23 at Brooktree!

Another “NEW” feature this year, will be extended hours at the River Springs Water Park. The water park has extended its hours of operation from August 24 to September 7 (Labor Day)! If weather & staffi ng permits the park will be open from 12 Noon to 4:30 p.m.!

We hope that you are fi nding ease in registering for our programs by using our online registration with Max Solutions. This has been a huge success with over 70% now registering on-line. Max also has allowed us to keep in touch better with our customers through e-mails and focus on customers with certain interests.

Parks & Trails Continued the trail system is a safe and fun place for all users, please follow the rules of the road.

• Stay as near to the right side of the trail as you can while still traveling safely.

• Travel in a consistent and predictable manner.

• Cyclists and in-line skaters should pass on the left when going by others moving in the same direction. Look ahead and back to be sure the lane is clear before pulling out to pass, then give a warning signal by voice, bell, or horn before passing.

• Yield when entering or crossing trails and roadways.

• When traveling in a group, use only half the trail, so as not to block the flow of traffic.

• Pets must be on a leash. You are responsible for cleaning up after your pets. Dispensers with “pooper-scoopers” are available on each trail.

• Trails are recreational. Cyclists and in-line skaters may not race or use excessive speed. Please report any misuse, vandalism, or maintenance problem to 507-444-4321 or 507-444-3800.

Dog Park

The off-leash park is currently open at Lake Chase Park.

Pickleball Courts

Four dedicated Pickleball courts were constructed in the fall of 2013 at Morehouse Park. They are located near the dam.

THERAPEUTICRECREATION PROGRAM

Our policy within the Therapeutic Recreation program is to plan for the person first, the disability second, and to encourage the independent pursuit of personal leisure interests. Our goal is to make recreation and leisure choices available to everyone, and our objective is to accommodate individuals with necessary adaptations so they may participate as fully as their non-disabled peers.

Our goals are to explore personal leisure interests and community resources; develop an understanding of self-advocacy and personal independence, and learn the rewards that come from volunteering. We encourage members to attend without staff, if possible.

“The Top Ten Things To Do in your Parks and Recreation”

10. Park Cruise

There are 30 parks with over 700 acres of which over 350 are mowed, trimmed and mulched. If you’re thirsty you can stop at one of our 22

drinking fountains available and if you need a potty stop, there are 24 permanent restrooms and 22 portable restrooms open to the public.

9. Pet Work Out

Whether on the road, on a trail, or just walking through the open spaces within a park, there is plenty of space for both you and your pet. There are two rules when taking your pet to the park; keep your pet on a leash and clean up after them. There are 24 “pooper scooper” stations within the park system with the majority of them located along the trails. We go through over 3000 scoopers a year! Please use them but don’t abuse them. And check out the Off-Leash Dog Park open at Chase Lake!!

8. Minnesota State Public School Orphanage Museum

During a rainy day, visiting the museum located at 540 West Hills Circle would be an excellent choice. This unique museum is the only museum in Minnesota where the public can learn about the state orphanage era. A visit to this well maintained museum is educational and interesting, and will help you understand and appreciate the orphanage experience. Cottage 11 is also open for touring 1:00-4:00pm Tuesday through Sunday; and six audio stations can be found around the campus as well. Stop by the Parks and Recreation offi ce for a map of audio tour.

7. Round of Golf

The Brooktree Golf Course or the “muni” as remembered by some of the locals is open to the public until usually mid-November depending on the weather. If round ball golf is not your game, try Disc (Frisbee) Golf. The River Rock Disc Golf Course is located in Mineral Springs Park. Like Brooktree on Facebook for more information and specials. Make sure to check out all the NEW improvements at Brooktree, especially the deck and patio area attached to the clubhouse! (Fall Shindig on September 23!)

6. Pick-Up Game

Whatever your game, there are many areas within the park system to enjoy your favorite game. Five basketball courts, 16 tennis courts, 4 Pickleball courts at Morehouse Park, 5 football fi elds (2 at Jr. High and 3 at Manthey), 8 sand volleyball courts, 13 soccer fi elds, 22 ball fi elds with batting cages at many sites, 18 horseshoe courts and an inline rink at Morehouse.

5. Go Fishin’

Fishing opportunities abound, be it in a lake or river, by boat, canoe or from the shore. Your catch can range from sunfi sh to walleyes or whatever turns your reel. Please do not dump live bait into the lakes or river.

Lake Kohlmier offers three fi shing piers, as well as hundreds of feet of shoreline and an island. The boat landing is located at the southeast corner of the lake, off 18th Street SW. Boaters, remember that outboard motors are prohibited, but electronic trolling motors may be used. Many different species of fi sh can be found in this lake.

The Straight River also provides some excellent fi shing opportunities usually done from shore but a canoe works well too. Lots of shoreline and

serenity is available from the popular spots below and above the dam, to your favorite hot spot!

Chase Lake is one of the locals’ HOTSPOTS! This lake opened to the public in 2009, and is accessed off County road 45. There is a portable restroom and a few picnic tables for a picnic. Fishing from shore for sunnies is the choice of many.

Many a fish tale come from these three favorite fishing spots that include walleye, musky, northern, crappie, bass and oh yeah, an occasional bullhead!

4. Take a Break

If it’s a lunch break or just a break to get away from it all, the parks offer many areas to just sit back and relax, enjoy life, think, or read a book. From one of our 100 park benches or 400 picnic tables you can enjoy many different settings. There is also plenty of space to throw out a blanket or walk into the woods and grab a stump. If your break includes a snack, please be sure to dispose of the litter in one of the more than 400 receptacles available. A good way to check a few out is with the “Park Passport Program”. This popular program is included as an insert in this brochure.

3. Take a Child to a Playground

Playgrounds are the #1 spot for many children but don’t forget they are available for everyone to enjoy! From fully handicapped-accessible playgrounds to swings (40 different swings available) large enough for most adults, there are 11 different playground sites all offering their own variety of equipment. Although there is something for everyone at any age, the most enjoyable experience is to take a young child to a playground. Young children must be supervised on the equipment as you play along with them; older children can be viewed from a bench that surrounds most playgrounds. Whatever the age, a camera is a must! (Checkout the NEW Expression Swing at Jaycee Park!)

2. Hike, Bike, and Roll

Whether you like to walk, jog, hike, run, bike, rollerblade or skateboard, there’s a trail out there for you! We have 8 miles of hard surfaced, handicapped accessible trails along with over 12 miles of wood chipped trails and nature walks. The hard surfaced trails are open year round, 24 hours a day for your enjoyment. Wood chipped trails are located throughout Kaplan’s Woods and Manthey Park. Nature walks are located off the Kaplan’s Woods Parkway Trail and at Leo Rudolph Nature Reserve. There is exercise equipment located along the trail between Morehouse Park and Lake Kohlmier, installed in 2009. All the trails offer viewing of a wide variety of wildlife including deer, turkey, beaver, fox, raccoon, pheasants and the more familiar squirrels, rabbits, ducks and geese. The North Straight River Trail runs from North Street to 26th Street and has a crushed rock surface. Along this trail you will also find a wood chipped trail loop. If you have not checked this trail out - it’s a must see!

Also Mountain Biking Trails in Kaplan’s Woods now open for use! As you can see, many different types of trail opportunities are available to you no matter what your age or mode of transportation.

1. Sunset Picnic at Gainey Park Pavilion

There are 13 different pavilions within the park system that you may reserve or just use (if no one has it reserved). There are traditional shelters, the heated Morehouse Park Chalet, and the Gainey Park Pavilion which boasts a beautiful fireplace. With fall’s cooler evenings and earlier sunsets, this site is my favorite. From this shelter you can view the beautiful Straight River and its fall colors at sunset, and start a fire (wood is provided!). The fire provides warmth, atmosphere and could be used to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. If hot dogs are not to your liking, each pavilion has its own grill (there are over 90 grills available within the parks).

I hope you can get out and enjoy this Top 10 or your own Top 10 in YOUR parks this fall.

If you have any suggestions on how to make further improvements to your Parks & Recreation Department services, please let us know.
