pinecone central park

Dog owners in Sartell are barking up the right tree, on plans to build a new dog park. The city council voted 3-2 this (Monday) evening in favor of a seven-acre dog park within the newly created Pinecone Central Park.

The Sartell City Council approved over $100,000 in improvements to Pinecone Central Park and Athletic Complex.

A private group made up of community members has raised about $1.3-million to complete a total of seven new baseball fields in Sartell's Pinecone Central Park.

Sartell's newest park continues to take shape. The city council approved plans for improvements to Pinecone Central Park. Mayor Joe Perske says they'll start working on new soccer fields this year.

Sartell City Council members tonight (Monday) will decide whether to use $200,000 in half-cent sales tax money to finish-up the rough grading work. The organization called "The Pinecone Central Park Association" has already spent $900,000 on grading work.

The city of Sartell will take a step back and further study what should make up a skate park for its residents. City Administrator Patti Gartland says the Park Commission's recommendation to the council was to form a committee made up of users, community members and city staff and research equipment choices, create a design and explore private fundraising.
