7. City of Lakeville 2015 Comprehensive Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan
Brett Altergott presented the Comprehensive Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan update, which
will provide the vision and guidance for expansion, development, redevelopment and
maintenance of the community's park system through 2030. The plan focuses on the following
aspects of park and trail development in the coming years:
• Greenways and trails to destination locations within the system are emerging as more of
a focus than individual parks within each neighborhood;
• Refocus park development on broader, community -wide parks and define how to serve
residents as the neighborhoods age and their needs change;
• As current neighborhood parks need to be refurbished, analyze the demographics of the
neighborhood prior to making expenditure recommendations;
• Locate areas for destination parks such as a dog park, skate park, splash pad, etc. so that
residents don't need to travel outside of our community;
• Develop linear parks in the form of greenways along trails;
• New park development and redevelopment of existing parks should be tailored to the
region within which it is located rather than being too generic;
• Focus on keeping park use consistent and keeping the younger generation engaged and
interested enough to get out into the parks;
• Partner with the schools, seek out corporate sponsorship and work with developers to
define property owners' needs and preferences;
• Create multi -generational parks that contain amenities to serve several age groups;
• Develop guidelines to follow as parks are redeveloped or refurbished when
neighborhoods age and as demographics change.
Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Davis to adopt the 2015 Parks, Trails and Open
Space Plan.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Davis, Little, Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau
