Safety regulation removal proposed for sliding hill
Parks director Charles A. Kremenak said he will ask the park board to remove all safety measures on the sliding hill at American Legion Park. The move follows numerous complaints about prior regulations. A Thursday board meeting will consider posting signs that the hill is used at each person's own risk with no supervision. Winter operations including warming house and swimming pool parking lot closures are also affected.
