City of Moorhead - Park Advisory Board Meeting May 14, 2026

The City of Moorhead Park Advisory Board held a meeting on May 14, 2026, where several community and park-related topics were discussed. Key procurement-related discussions included a presentation by Dean Myhre on behalf of Moorhead Youth Baseball regarding the proposed construction of an indoor athletic facility at Centennial Park. The board was asked to consider recommending further discussions on the facility's location, emphasizing the need for infrastructure and multi-sport use. Additionally, the board approved renaming Johnson Farms Park to Friendship Park to honor the city's relationship with Zakho, Kurdistan, with plans for new signage and potential fundraising for park enhancements. Updates were provided on capital projects such as the replacement of ropes on the Wm. Crooks ship, which involved contracting a specialized vendor, and controlled prairie burns to maintain native grasslands. The meeting also covered improvements in season pass sales technology for municipal pools and golf courses, streamlining user access through QR codes. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded, but the discussions highlighted ongoing and potential procurement activities related to park infrastructure and facility improvements.
