The Minot Park Board, joined by staff and flood project personnel, toured the Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Project features impacting Roosevelt Park Monday, Nov. 3. Standing along a new floodwall are, from left, board member Mike Schmitt, Aaron Fornshell with Ackerman-Estvold, Parks Operations Director Jarrod Olson, board member Cliff Hovda, Parks Finance Director Calyn Beckman, Parks Executive Director Elly DesLauriers and Board President Chelsea Kirkhammer. New rail for the mini-train eventually will run alongside the wall.

Access to Roosevelt Park will begin opening up again next spring as portions of construction on the Mouse River Enhanced Flood Protection Project are set to wind down in the area.

The park closed in early September to give construction crews space to work.
