Robinson Park – the grass is getting greener
What happened to Robinson Park? According to the Parks and Recreation manger for our area, the contractor working on the recent improvements to the bathrooms accidentally cut the electrical wiring for the irrigation system. Xcel had to come out to work on the problem and it took longer than expected. The irrigation system is now up and running and the grass is improving. We should see green grass again in about a week.
