Crookston Splash Park will have 2 canopies
Crookston Times
The Crookston Splash Park will see new enhancements in the summer of 2021 with a recent purchase of two 10x10 canopies that will be installed over two benches surrounding the water feature.
The canopies were purchased with funds through the Crookston Area Community Fund, the local fund of the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.
“The fund has been active over the past decade in enhancing the community of Crookston in many ways,” said Splash Park project lead Shirley Iverson, who is also a member of the CACF committee. “One component of the fund was utilized for fund raising the Crookston Splash Pad located at Highland Park, now Ray Ecklund Park Complex.”

Two owl-calling stations will be set up along the trails, where the calls of several owl species – such as saw whet, barred and great horned – will be projected into the woods to try and generate a response.
