Thompson Falls sees improvements for summer months
THOMPSON FALLS - This summer Thompson Falls has some new and safer open space on Main Street. The old and unsafe sheds, back stop, and bleachers have been taken down at Ainsworth Field. The City Council has referred the future of the field to the Thompson Falls Parks Planning Committee. They are in the planning stages for the Field and at this point several possible uses are being discussed, but for this summer the field is being enjoyed as a spacious play and camping area. In addition to its usual daily uses for sports and a wide open play area for people and their pets, we have a circus coming to town on June 22 and a large bicycle touring group, Ride Idaho, coming in and camping there the 6th of August.
