Park Improvements – Park Osagi

Transforming Park Osagi

Park Osagi is the largest park for the City of Osakis. Currently, there is a small play system, ½ basketball court, a couple shelters and bathroom. This park could be better utilized by adding a larger shelter area with kitchen facilities allowing for larger group gatherings such as family get togethers, meetings, birthday parties, weddings etc. Adding a lake overlook area to have a better view of beautiful Lake Osakis, which would make a wonderful back drop for family photos. Adding a larger and updated playground area along with a splash pad. Which would allow children of all ages to enjoy the park. This plan would also allow for a designated parking area. Watch for updates as they happen.
