Blue Earth County is in the process of purchasing the former Guaranteed Sand and Gravel property south of Mankato in cooperation with the city of Mankato who will own and maintain the Sanger Pit portion of the parcel. MN DNR grant funding, along with shared funding from both the city of Mankato and Blue Earth
County made the purchase of the unique and scenic properties possible. The County plans to develop the Guaranteed Sand and Gravel portion into a rustic, low-maintenance park over the next few years and is seeking the public’s input regarding features, future amenities and ideas on naming the new park. Ultimately, feedback will be reviewed by the Blue Earth County Park Advisory Board to make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners. The Blue Earth County Board will have the final decision on naming and development features
of the park. Visit www.blueearthcountymn.gov/parksurvey or search

a survey and provide feedback on development of the newest natural resource in Blue Earth County.
