 Well, development continues to be under way at the Niswa Lake Park and Recreation Area. Sarah Winkelman joins us live now from our Brunner studio with an update on the project, Sarah. Yeah, Dennis. Tonight, community members gathered in Niswa to celebrate the work that's already been done at the park and to get a sneak peek at what's still to come. The idea of the Niswa Lake Park was first put into action over 10 years ago with the formation of the Friends of Niswa Lake Park. After years of fundraising, the group received a large donation to help gain momentum. And we decided to accept a donation for $35,000 to start the trails out in the park. Behind that large donation was community member Millie Jertson, who tonight was recognized for her efforts. Although she says her love for the outdoors made her contribution a no-brainer. I said, why not? But she didn't stop there and made an additional $50,000 donation to build a picnic shelter at the park. I don't know how to even describe the gift that she gave to the city by donating. Already underway are the ADA compliant trails leading Niswa Lake into downtown and the new picnic shelter. Things are actually starting to shape up out there. But a major item still on the to-do list is the construction of a new dock system for people to tie up their boats and head into the city of Niswa. The one thing that Niswa has always kind of lacked is access to water. You know, we're so close to it and it really encapsulates everything that we do up in the Brainer Lakes area. Also in the future plans is the addition of a new boardwalk along the waterfront. The value in this park and seeing what it's capable of to help out the city of Niswa. And as for Millie, she can't wait for it to warm up and go enjoy a picnic at the new park. It's just something I enjoy. In a new park built for tourists and locals alike. The park is the result of many, many people over the years. A scene of vision for creating a legacy for our future. Now the goal is to have the trail, the pavilion and the other picnic areas set to go by the 4th of July. And as for the other projects, they'll be completed as soon as the funds come in over the next few years. Dennis. Alright, thank you very much Sarah for that live report from our Brainerd studio tonight. Information on how to make a donation to the park can be found on our website at lptv.org.
