NEW ULM -- Excavation for the new shelter at Junior Pioneer Park began Wednesday.
MR Paving began digging the footings for the 30 feet by 50 feet shelter. The completed shelter will include kitchen, picnic tables, benches, an information kiosk, ADA (American Disabilities Act) walkways and restrooms.
Junior Pioneer Park is privately owned by The Junior Pioneers of New Ulm. The park serves as a gathering place to celebrate the shared heritage of Junior Pioneer members. The land was formally purchased in 1923. Construction of the shelter marks the 100th anniversary of Junior Pioneer ownership.
The goal is to complete the shelter construction by late fall of this year.
