There are several ways to share input:

• Attend an in-person come-and-go open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday, April 6, at Washington Elementary School, 1100 Anderson Drive.
• Share input online at Every Voice Mankato.

The playground equipment in Erlandson Park is scheduled for replacement in 2023 because of its age, condition, and challenges in finding replacement parts. Other work planned includes adding curbing and drainage. The proposed work is estimated at $250,000.

The project was identified in Mankato’s Community Investment Plan as part of the parks capital replacement fund. For more information contact staff at 311 or 507-387-8600.
