FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) A few people came together Wednesday afternoon to voice their displeasure with the changes planned for Fargo’s Lindenwood Park.
The Fargo Park District wants to move Lindenwood’s road loop to a higher location, away from the Red River and remove up to 82 trees.
Opponents of the plan met at Rheault Farm, where the Fargo Park Board was holding a retreat.
One woman says more public input about the changes should’ve been considered.
“Why don’t we close the road, make it trails that would be handicapped and elderly accessible, use the money for really nice trails, update the shelters,” suggested Karen Mann.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – People are speaking out against an improvement project at Lindenwood Park.
“It’s a road improvement project so what it entails is essentially creating a new road loop for Roger Maris Drive,” Fargo Parks District Parks Director Dave Bietz said.
The loop is in major need of improvements says Bietz.
“The existing road as it is right now today is at a lower flood elevation and is made out of asphalt, so it’s in need of some repairs. We decided to move the road up to a higher flood elevation and make it out of concrete. It is just too close to the river and it is constantly inundated with flood waters, ” said Bietz.
