Sand Point Beach Park "Clean Lake" Project Complete!
The project at Sand Point Beach Park was completed Spring 2018. This joint project with the City of Prior Lake will improve the treatment of stormwater from the 82 acres of land which is funneled through the park's stormwater treatment ponds before entering Lower Prior Lake. This project will: 1) expand the two existing stormwater ponds; 2) add iron-enhanced sand filters to treat the stormwater; and 3) add native prairie plantings to the park.
