Skate Park Input—Parks and Recreation Intern Peter i�Iollman has started the process of asking for
input on ways to improve our skate paYk. A couple signs have been posted at the skate park asking to park
users to email their thoughts to skatepark@ci.rosemount.mn.us. We �vill also be handing out business cards
