River Falls Parks and Recreation Advisory Board 9/16/2026

The City of River Falls Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on September 16, 2026, to discuss several community and facility-related matters. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a Girl Scout service project to install "Sunshine Boxes" in local parks, and the approval to remove the deteriorating skate park at Hoffman Park due to safety concerns and its exceeded useful life. The board discussed future plans for the site, emphasizing the need for community input before considering new skate park facilities, which are not currently included in the capital improvement plan. Additionally, updates were provided on summer recreation programs, participation trends, and ongoing park maintenance projects such as tree planting and installation of concrete slabs for picnic tables. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting highlighted the importance of community engagement in future recreational facility planning and potential partnerships for funding and development.
