These maintenance activities coincided with the first freezing temperatures of <br /> the winter last week. <br /> Restrooms were closed at approximately half of the city parks including Ascot, Fairmount, Graham, Maurie Jacobs, <br /> Monroe, Shasta, Sladden, State Street, Tugman, and University parks. The rock restroom at Hendricks Park was also <br /> closed. All other park restrooms have been weatherized and do not require winter closure. Drinking fountains are still <br /> available throughout most of the winter at Pre's and Adidas running trails and at certain locations along the bike path. <br /> Park facilities will be restored in early April. For more information, call Park Amenities Supervisor Eric Johnson at 682- <br /> 4904 or Turf and Grounds Supervisor John Clark at 682-4826. <br /> OSPIRG Students Help Restore Willamette River <br /> As a steady stream of Duck fans migrated to Autzen '-a, M • <br /> Stadium for Saturday's football game, more than 40 ,' " , e <br /> students from the University of Oregon and Lane <br /> Community College spent several hours removing <br /> afr, 1 <br /> invasive blackberry bushes and planting native plants { E + • <br /> along the Willamette River.
