Sartell’s Watab Park may be closed all summer.

The city is looking at using the grounds as a staging area for equipment needed to complete road construction nearby. County Route 1, also known as Riverside Avenue, is being completely redone from Sartell Street to 12th Street North.

On top of resurfacing, there will be water and sewer main work, plus replacement of sidewalks, installation of additional lighting, and even a new river lookout.

No closure date has been announced yet, but officials say the timeline could begin in April until late fall. Veterans Park will also get additional features.
