Duluth to host webcast on parks

Duluth will host a live webcast on Monday night to solicit resident input on the city's parks.

During the webcast, or online broadcast, Mayor Nancy Harris and the city's Parks and Recreation staff will ask for feedback on the pros and cons of the city's parks, from Bunten Road to Rogers Bridge parks. City officials also want input in naming a dog park that is about to be built.

This will be the fourth time Duluth has used web-casting, mostly as a way to target the city's younger demographic. Duluth's median age is 34.8.

Monday's webcast will be from 7 to 7:30 p.m. To sign up, log into www.stickam.com/cityofduluthga.
