ALEXANDRIA — The City of Alexandria wants residents to help plan the future of the city's parks.
An open house will take place at Alexandria City Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Those who can't attend the meeting will have an online option for providing feedback through a link on the city's website — https://alexandriamn.city/ — that will be posted starting on Oct. 25.
The city is developing a park system plan to guide investments in the parks for the next 10 to 20 years. It's holding the open house to gather input on what residents would like to see in their parks. The input will help the city develop designs, plans and budgets for every city park.
Those with questions about the open house may contact the director of parks and facilities, Bill Thoennes, at bthoennes@alexandria.mn.city.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
