Want to hold a Special Event at a City Park or at the Logan Community Recreation Center?

Not sure if your Special Event requires a Special Event Permit?

Logan City Municipal Code states: “Any short term event at a temporary location that is open to the public for a fee, where the public can participate as a spectator or a participant. Special events shall also include any event available to the public that requires the full or partial closure of the public right of way or the use of city property whether or not a fee is required.

Logan Parks and Recreation Department Trails Update:

The extension of the Logan River Trail west of 10th west. This next phase will start at the Logan River bridge and continue west and southwest to 1800 south. Construction has started although wetland mitigation issues will be addressed and constructed first.

There continues to be discussion on a trail that will follow the canal corridor (the canal that parallels Canyon Road) from 600 east /boulevard to 1st Dam. This trail will be built as soon as plans are finished and funding is secured.

The BST trail tunnel at Canyon Entrance Park will soon split and the easterly trail will connect to Ray Hugie Hydro Park and then continue east through the park and past the hydro power plant and parallel Logan River until it connects with the Logan River Trail that is on Forest Service property.

Ever wonder what it takes to construct the Merlin Olsen Central Park Ice Rink?

7 to 10 days of consistent temperatures (15-20 degrees below freezing) and consistent conditions.

Sufficient snowfall of at least 8-10 inches is needed before construction can begin.

Once there is sufficient snow it is packed to establish frost for ice sheet support (3 nights using trucks to pack snow).

Below freezing temperatures are needed for 7 to 10 days during the ice building process of spraying an even amount of water on packed snow base.

Crews are able to build approximately a 1/3 inch of ice every 8 hours.

In a 4 day period, under optimal conditions, a 4-inch base of ice can be achieved.

Just a reminder...

Solutions to litter problems are not always about cleaning up.  In most cases, solutions come from thoughtful prevention.

Here are some examples of what you -- and others -- can do to help prevent litter in our community.

• Set an example for others, especially co-workers, friends and children by using trash receptacles and not littering.
• Always have available a litter bag and portable ashtray in your car.
  
  

We know it takes each and every one of us to make a difference.  Do your part to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Logan by preventing litter in our community.
