(KNSI) – Four parks in Sartell will be closed at times this year so work can be done on a road project along the Mississippi River. The temporary closure allows reconstruction of County Road 1/Riverside Avenue and a lift station.

-
- An 8 foot wide paved trail from Sartell Street to 12th Street North.
- Multiple overlooks of the Mississippi River.
- A new pedestrian bridge.
- Improvements to Veterans Park.
- Reconstruction of the parking lot at Watab Park.
