NEW ULM–The Riverside Park Environnmental Learning Center received a $1,000 donation from Dennis and Kathie Born, Wednesday. The donation will assist in the digital inventory of the learning center’s natural history artifacts.
Dennis Born said he and his wife have both been through the center many times and they realized it had many artifacts the city did not know existed. There was a strong need to hire a person to conduct the inventory. The donation would help with the process and the digital inventory would be a part of New Ulm’s history for many years.

NEW ULM The New Ulm City Council reviewed recommendations for the next neighborhood park, and accepted the Park and Recreation Commission’s scoring matrix and rankings for it.
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 Park Commission meeting Monday, March 8, the highest-scoring parks were Lakeside Village and Upper Cottonwood. The commission believes the city should consider land acquisition and development of neighborhood parks in both areas.
