Update - beach/swimming is again available, but the boat launch remains closed due to low water levels.

Notice: West Peterson Park is currently closed to swimming and beach use following an oil spill. We'll announce when the area is re-opened.

@iowadnr says it's time to stop pruning oaks!
"This recent warm weather has given a taste of spring, which means it’s time to finish pruning oak trees for the year to prevent the spread of oak wilt."

@Adventurelaus @cityofames The paths at #TedescoEnvironmentalLearningCorridor are Filterpave, a porous surface allowing stormwater infiltration. It repurposes glass in a constructive way instead of sending it to the landfill, also conserving natural aggregate supplies and saving energy used in mining.
