The focus of the City’s efforts this year regarding the parkland purchased on Big Island will be clean-up and housekeeping. The activities will involve deferred maintenance items, items to protect the public’s safety, and general clean-up. Various areas of the property will be posted as off-limits to the public until demolition of unsafe buildings and general clean-up activities are completed.

The remainder of the property will be open to the public as a nature preserve. The beauty and significance of the property is related to its pristine, natural state and the history of the property. The City is committed to preserving both of these.

The park will open at 6:00 a.m., and will close at sunset. Fires and alcohol are prohibited from the park.

The City is excited about a joint effort with Orono Community Education for a Learning Institute to be held on the Big Island park property in the summer. Please see the related article in this newsletter.

We look forward to providing this park as a haven of relaxation and an opportunity to be immersed in the natural beauty and history of both the water and the land.
