NEW Recreational Attractions for 2012

	9-Hole Pitch & Putt Par 3 Course
	Municipal Fishing Pond
	RV Camp Site

Par-3, Nine-hole Golf Courses Site Selected. The 25-acre site located adjacent to City Hall formerly known as Claude Hamilton farm site. This site continues the "central town" theme city leaders are trying to instill. There will be two tee-box locations at each hole to give the option of an 18-hole course. There will also be an underground sprinkler system and a small clubhouse where an attendant could accept greens fees and "perhaps" offer some items like golf balls and tees for sale. We hope to begin fairway work this fall, so we can open by summer next year. At the recently purchased Plattner site a disc (Frisbee) golf course and hiking trails are planned.

Park Committee Moves Ahead on Golf Course. Golf course designer Larry Flatt, of Flatt Golf Services, Inc., recently returned from Westchester, N.Y., were he visited a course that employs artificial turf. “I hit a 60-yard sand wedge, and the ball went about two feet, just like it should,” Flatt said. “It really plays like natural turf ... except you don't have the ball marks.”

The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Aquatic Facility, which is to be located on the left hand side of J. H. Williamson Drive, near the St. Robert Municipal Park, was held on March 15, 2010. Bales Construction is the general contractor in charge of construction of the Aquatics Facility. The entire project is expected to be completed by March 2011. Plans currently are to have indoor facilities open later this year and the outdoor facility on opening on Memorial Day weekend 2011.
