Frank Nelson Park near reopening; city launches adopt‑a‑park program and events guide

Jonathan Hayes said Frank Nelson Park is nearing completion of improvements that included weed control, light grading, topdressing, overseeding with Bermuda grass and a major irrigation repair, and that the park is expected to reopen for summer programming. "Improvements at Frank Nelson Park are nearly complete," Hayes said, listing the maintenance and irrigation work completed to support long‑term field conditions.

Hayes also said the parks, culture and recreation team has been working on an adopt‑a‑park program and a guide for hosting special events in the city. He directed residents to the city's website for more information about both initiatives and related resources.

The announcement did not include reopening date specifics beyond “expected to reopen for summer programming” or details about volunteer or permitting requirements for adopt‑a‑park.
