FAIRMONT– The Fairmont Park Board met Monday night to discuss updates on area park items and introduced the CER Spring and Summer catalog.

At Ward Park, rehab has started on the shelter and the bathroom area. The roof has been torn off and shingles were installed this week. At Gomsrud Park down by the playground the grass is needing to be reseeded, but water is needed before that project can begin.

Another event is the planning of a coordination ceremony for Memory park to be named the Richard S. Bradley park.

Other things that were included in the Park Board update were that pool repairs are slated for the spring and that mowing has begun at the parks in particular at the Fairmont Soccer Fields.

Roni Dauer, director of Fairmont Community Education and recreation, gave a CER update to introduce the 2021 Spring and Summer CER pamphlet. The catalog has already been distributed earlier in March.

Outdoor activities featured in the catalog include Adult Co-Ed leagues, Fairmont Aquatic Park, t-ball, girls softball, tennis and soccer. To see the full updated list of activities you can find them and register for them at the CER Web Store.
