Park Shelter Improvements

Funding has been allocated to maintain and upgrade park shelters throughout the City of Mankato. As part of this effort, both shelters at Highland Park are scheduled for improvements.

• Shelter #2 (East Side): Structural repairs, fresh paint, and concrete work to improve safety and appearance.

• Shelter #1 (West Side): Electrical repairs, new siding on the gable ends, refreshed ceilings, paint, and concrete repairs.

These updates will help bring the shelters up to modern standards, make them easier to maintain, and ensure they match other recent improvements in the park—creating a more enjoyable and consistent experience for everyone.
