VISION STATEMENT
“The restoration and development of Lilleskogen Park will enable residents of
Scandia to have a park facility that can be better utilized by many different
user groups. These groups include school children who may use the park as
an educational and interpretive resource, and seniors and young families who
desire to have a safe and accessible walking trail system to use in close
proximity to the village center.”
