(Mankato, MN) – Construction began Monday at Stoltzman Park on West Pleasant Street, closing the parking lot at the park.

The construction will take place throughout the summer, although the parking lot is expected to be reopened by the end of June.

Grills, picnic tables, basketball hoops, two patios, and other amenities will be added during construction, and a shelter is anticipated to be installed by August.  Areas of the parks may be inaccessible during points of construction.
