MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Roath told the Commissioners they don't need to feel obligated to go to every park in the next month or <br /> two,but he wants to at least get them signed up for some of the parks on the next page. He noted they <br /> assign parks so they can divide and conquer and there are some big vacancies such as Seven Nations, <br /> Saga Hill,Navarre,Highwood and Casco Point. <br /> Klaahsen volunteered for Highwood. <br /> Berg volunteered for Casco Point, as she has the beach and asked if that is where they did the plantings. <br /> Edwards replied it is generally maintenance as it's in the middle of Casco Circle and is a nature park. <br /> Klaahsen said it makes sense for her to have French Creek as she's on that Committee. <br /> Roath said he's happy to take Saga Hill as it's in his neighborhood. He asked for a volunteer on the <br /> Navarre playground. He asked when Stephens is moving as it is in his neck of the woods. <br /> Stephens said hopefully in 6-7 weeks. <br /> Carter stated he'd be happy to take Lowry Woods. <br /> Klaahsen asked what Livingston Tower is. <br /> Edwards replied Livingston Tower is the tiny little park immediately behind the Navarre water plant and <br /> tower,noting the parcel is just to the North of it and some people call it ? ?Park or Tower Park but it's <br /> now labeled Livingston Tower Park. He noted it was one of the first park projects when the Commission <br /> was reestablished in 2014. <br /> Roath asked Stephens if he'd mind taking that park as well, since it is right up the street from Navarre. <br /> Stephens agreed. <br /> Roath said he was out there a couple of weeks ago and noted the water tower is leaking and asked if he <br /> should be worried. <br /> Edwards clarified it's condensation. <br /> Roath noted Seven Nations is the other park on the list. <br /> Keller asked where it's located. <br /> Edwards explained Seven Nations Park is on Watertown Road between Old Crystal Bay and Willow on <br /> the South side. <br /> Keller responded she would take Seven Nations Park. <br /> Edwards explained it's an old homestead site and used to have a farmhouse. When everything else <br /> around it was developed,the property was donated to the City and there has been speculation that it had <br /> Native American artifacts,although everything he reads says it did not. However,that is how it got the <br /> Page 26 of 27 <br />
