City Parks & Trails Closed Due to Storm Damage

City crews helping with community clean-up

OWATONNA, Minn., July 29, 2025 – Significant storm damage across Owatonna is being addressed by City crews. As a safety precaution, City parks and trails have been closed.

City crews have begun storm damage clean-up with a priority placed on clearing streets. Then, parks and trails will be addressed and re-opened. 

As community members address storm damage on private property, they are asked to keep leaves and branches from streets where debris can clog stormwater drains. Any branches under four inches in diameter can be placed along the curb. City crews will pick them up as they are able and dispose of them.
