Town working on beautification

Some Wiggins residents are concerned that the new sod at the baseball field is turning brown.

During the meeting of the Wiggins Board of Trustees on Wednesday, Wiggins Town Administrator Jim Musgrave said he is looking for some conditioner for the grass, and trying to get the sprinkler system back into shape.

Apparently, the sprinklers settled once the ground thawed and water softened the ground, and they will need to be rearranged to make them work right, he said.

When the Wiggins Fire Department recently practiced, firefighters sprayed the field with their water, rather than just put it anywhere, said Wiggins Police Chief Leroy Dilka.

This field is part of renovations at the park, and the Great Outdoors Colorado officials have been pleased with the latest report, said Wiggins Town Clerk Jessica Warden-Leon.

She said concrete work has begun at the fields, and the backstop and fencing have been taken down to allow work. Gravel was ordered for the playground, and workers are getting ready to put sprinklers in at the other fields.

After that, workers will look at laying new sod in other areas, Warden-Leon said.

One hitch in the plans is that one of the public works employees was injured while working on the park, and will likely not be able to work for some time.

Beautification

Wiggins is trying to beautify the town to get ready for the Pedal the Plains bicycling event, which will begin in town.
