City discusses plans for Eagle Ridge Park
Members of the public were invited to come out to a green space area in the Eagle Ridge Addition late in the afternoon on Aug. 10, to discuss what they would like to see in a community park in the location. The meeting involved city leaders and was just an informal meeting to get thoughts and generate ideas. Humboldt Independent photo.
Fostered by a need for a city park/play area on the west side of Highway 169, north of the high school/middle school, the Humboldt City Council and the Park Board are developing plans for a new park in an undeveloped lot in the newly constructed Eagle Ridge development on the city’s southwest side.
The park would not only serve children and parents in the new addition, but also neighborhood families in the Elmhurst and Blackbird Additions. Of course, as a city park, the area would be open to any members of the public who would want to use the facility.
On Aug. 10, an informal discussion session was held in the area where the park will be located. About one dozen interested citizens attended and offered a number of amenities they would like to see in a city park. People who have suggestions may contact Humboldt City Administrator Travis Goedken at Humboldt City Hall (515) 332-3435.
