Leaf Collection

Curbside leaf collection will continue until snow accumulates or the end of November. Public Works requests that leaves are left loose on the curb and should not be raked or blown into the street. When the leaves clump together, they can create major clogs in the stormwater drainage system which can contribute to flash flooding and standing water in the streets. Public Works begin on Mondays and will comb through the town. If they do not finish, they will go back to the area that was missed. As the season progresses, Public Works will go through the town each week as the season and/or weather allows. More Information

The annual Fourth of July celebration is held here. In addition to Lake Leota, the Park also offers the following amenities: baseball and softball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts, hiking areas, picnic areas, playground areas in 4 locations, skate park, and the Veteran's Memorial Aquatic Center.
