Summary
Parkland County, with Council's approval and support, has undertaken park improvements at Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area. These improvements include a new equestrian parking area, formalized picnic sites, new tree and shrub planting, new playground, parking lot improvements among others. One additional improvement includes the installation of an Aeration Unit. In order for Administration to complete this task we have to run power to the unit. We have negotiated an agreement with EQUS for the installation and distribution of this power. It will require us entering into the attached 12 year agreement at a cost of approximately $165/month.
This is one piece of the overall project occurring at Chickakoo and will result in a year round fishery comparable to the one found at Muir Lake.
