MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 26 of 27 <br /> <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 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
