NEW ULM — The New Ulm City Council will review recommendations for the next neighborhood park, Tuesday.
The council will receive the Park and Recreation Commission’s scoring matrix and rankings for the next neighborhood park.
The Park and Recreation Commission has studied this topic since 2016 during multiple regular meetings, and most recently three work sessions and a special meeting. A matrix was developed by the commission to rank potential park sites for development. Following the parks commission meeting Monday, March 8, the highest-scoring parks were Lakeside Village and Upper Cottonwood. The Parks Commission believed the city should consider land acquisition and development of neighborhood parks in both areas.
