MAYOR'S MESSAGE Exciting Updates Around Mingus Park You may have noticed some construction activity at Mingus Park lately. There are a few exciting projects taking shape that will improve how the park looks and functions for everyone who visits. One of the biggest changes is the rewilding project near the North 10th Street entrance. This area used to be home to the kiddy playground, but it was often unusable because of ponded water. To solve the problem, material was brought in, and the area was regraded so stormwater can drain properly. A new trail has already been added around the perimeter, and soon the Coos Watershed Association will be planting native vegetation and installing educational signs. Both of these steps are expected to be finished by the end of this year. Another improvement you’ll see is a brand-new restroom going in west of the North 10th Street entrance. To prepare the site and utilities, some vegetation is being removed near the playground. While that work is happening, staff are also taking the time to power wash and paint the veteran’s cross, remove a diseased tree, and spruce up the landscaping in that area. The restroom itself has already been ordered, but since it is prefabricated, delivery will take some time. It should arrive in late spring, with installation completed by summer 2026. At the same time, the existing restrooms near the ballfields on the east side of the entrance are getting a much-needed facelift. The building already has a new roof, fresh paint, and repaired fascia, and new plumbing fixtures are on the way to be installed later this year. These projects would not be possible with Park Capital dollars alone. They are happening thanks to generous support from the Judith A. Mogan Foundation, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, and Bay Area Sportsman’s Association. And, just as importantly, they are only possible because of the dedication of City staff, who have been working hard to coordinate, build, and maintain each of these improvements. Next time you’re at Mingus Park, take a walk and check out the changes for yourself. It’s an exciting time for one of our community’s most loved places. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos BayPhotos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SUCCESS The City of Coos Bay Parks Adopt A Park Pilot Program (AAPPP) held the 2nd Dog Days of Summer event was held on Saturday, August 16, 2025, in John Topits Park Middle Empire Lakes. This year the AAPPP was very excited to have The South Coast Shopper partner as co-sponsor for this event! The purpose of the event was to try and complete replacing the remaining 19 posts in the John Topits Park Trail System by soliciting “adopters” for the remaining posts. The price, $60. The routing, painting and placement of posts after adoption had been donated by wood working volunteers and placement by the City of Coos Bay Public Works Department. The event also features a “Dog Strut” to bring attention to August as National Dog Month and Clear the Shelters Month. Donations to those entering the Dog Strut to Friends of Coos County Animals (FOCCAS) was suggested by participants and brought $85 dollars to help our furry friends find forever homes. This event could not take place without our sponsors and volunteers. The City of Coos Bay Parks would like to thank our 19 volunteers who put in 54 hours at the event along with: The South Coast Shopper-co-sponsor and advertising (Logos and other items as noted by Catie Loy e-mail here were 19 volunteers, 56 volunteer hours, with 7 contestants for the Dog Strut. Tracy Pierce from NW Natural donated dog toys, dog towels, dog treats, and gift cards of: (2) $25 Mini Pet Mart, (2) $25 The Boat Fish & Chips Restuarant, and $50 NOBE to the dog strutt winners. Valerie Henson from Ziply Fiber donated pup cups, collapsible dog bowls and other goodies to everyone in attendance. Judges were from the South Coast Shopper: Britney Gordon with her dog Bruno Gordon, Sara Neils, and Catie Loy. Few people came in from the 9:30am-11am time frame so the judges decided to change the Best Costume category to Best Adoption Story to give all contestants a chance. Winners of the contest: Best Adoption Story - Snickers. Owner William Salmon Pawsitively Polite - Sigh. Owner Tina Peek Judges Choice - Sammy. Owner Tom Doyle Markers were steadily being pledged as the time went on. There was 1 left after the winners of the contest were chosen.
