OPEN LAWN AREA PARKING APPROX. 37 STALLS GOODHUE WAYTRAIL PHASED-IN NATURAL LANDSCAPE(TYP.) STORMWATER TREATMENT TRAIL STATIONS (SEE IMAGES 1 & 2) SHADED PICNIC TABLE SEATING PICNIC SHELTER HALF BASKETBALL COURT BENCH SEATING (TYP.) MOWED TRAIL THROUGH PRAIRIE 1. EXERCISE STATION 2. NATURAL PLAY STATION PLAN NOTES: The preliminary master plan is a combination of elements based on the feedback provided by residents, the overall park and recreation needs of the City of Lakeville, and elements suitable for a neighborhood park of this size. While not all desires and comments could be accommodated due to various factors, the preliminary master plan represents an approach that accommodates both active and passive recreational opportunities for a broad range of abilities and demographics. Keep in mind that plans always appear to be very large but in reality, the actual space on site will feel smaller. As a spatial tool, visualize the size of a single tennis court (60’ x 120’) when reviewing distances and dimensions identified on the plan. NATIVE POLLINATOR AREA MEDIUM TO LARGE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK: - Approx. 8 acres - Mixture of active and passive recreational amenities - Strategically located to be within 1/2 mile of located service area (but used by greater public) VEGETATION: - Native vegetation around perimeter and in select internal locations - Primarily maintained turf within main park loop - Pollinator species around stormwater treatment area - Strategic location of trees for shade and/or screening TRAIL: - 8’ wide asphalt trails - Provides access to amenities and connections to neighborhoods - External perimeter loop (1/3 mile) - Smaller internal loop (< 1/5 mile, good for kids or those with limited abilities) - Trail stations (exercise equipment, independent play, seating, etc.) PARKING: - 35 standard stalls - 2 HC stalls - Dead-end turnaround - Accommodates daily uses and small events to reduce on-street parking in neighborhoods LAWN SPACES: - Adds flexibility to the park (multi-uses) - Accounts for future changes and recreational trends - Small open lawn adjacent to playground area (approx. size of half basketball court) - Multi-use open lawn on West end (approx. 180’ x 240’ which is half the size of a regulation soccer field); suitable for informal and youth programmed activities (9/10 U) COURTS: - Pickleball (2) placed more internally to the park near shelter with vegetation buffers nearest residential lots - Basketball half court along trail which can include 4-square and Hopscotch overlays PLAYGROUND: - Pod for preschool and swings - Pod for elementary - Incorporation of unique play element - Seating plaza with shaded picnic tables - Adjacent bike rack PICNIC SHELTER: - Standard open air shelter (no roof deck or retaining walls) - Centrally located with views of open lawn, courts and playground - 4-6 picnic table capacity - Plaza space with grills and bike rack - Additional lawn space for other small lawn events OTHER: - Comments were received for a pool or splash pad but were not included due to the fact these facilities are better suited at a community park. - Comments were received for a hockey or pleasure skating rink but were not included due to the fact that there are two hockey rinks located on one site approximately one mile away near McGuire Junior High School. Secondly, the City of Lakeville reopened two rink sites (Quail Meadows and Rolling Oaks) a few years back that were closed for approximately 8 – 10 years and found that the number of users was modest when they were reopened. Additionally, there are significant infrastructure costs with constructing a hockey/pleasure rink site along with maintenance and staffing costs considering the skating season lasts no longer than two months. PARK ENTRY SIGN Comment Up Votes Down Votes Sand Volleyball court!1 1 Volleyball court would be awesome!0 1 Every concept has a set of bean bag toss courts. Bad idea. The bean bags will disappear the first week. When a family wants something like this they can bring a set from home if they want one at the park for their use. Also popular are ladder toss, etc. Again, if you want you can bring from home and use any open space. 0 0 I liked the other designs where the bean bag area was more incorporated rather than off to the side.0 0 stupid idea (bean bags)0 1 Volleyball Bean Bags Pool / Water Play love (bean bag courts)3 0 Play areas Shelter / Plaza / Cook Areas Trails & Connections No swimming pools Natural Areas & Screening Parking Athletics & Exercise I like concept 1. However instead of a large field space (many other parks already have this) I would like to see a pool added. Lakeville doesn't have a pool. It would help support the employment of all of our high school kids & provide endless summer fun for all ages! 3 3 How about a POOL!? so many kids (and adults) would love it!8 5 Lakeville needs there own outdoor pool!! Also a playground with a pavilion & seating.0 3 How about a splash pad or zero depth water area?6 2 Please no pool in this park 0 0 I think a splash pad would be a great addition and in character with this small residential park. I would vote for a splash pad in whatever concept is chosen. If a splash pad is added however there would be a greater influx of families coming from farther away, Therefore the expanded parking in this design would be needed. 1 0 I vote for NO splashpad or hockey rink as recommended by others. While both are fun ideas, the splash pad will make it SUCH a busy park, and the hockey rink will take up too much space for only being used a few months. 2 0 Takes up too much room (Pickleball). Area has so many young families more playground space is preferable.3 1 Would love to see a handicap accessible playground.2 0 love (playground)0 0 Schaper Park in Golden Valley is really cool, it's a Ninja/Obstacle Course park with a covered playground next to it for smaller kids. With this big of space, we could have something different that would draw people. Especially being off Cedar Ave. Still keep walking paths, field(s), courts, etc. 3 0 Very much like the idea of a shelter near the playground areas. An even larger one that this would be nice. Suggest a large shelter with great sightlines to playground be in whatever concept is chosen. 0 0 Is a large multi use field the best use of space in this relatively small community park? I am in agreement with many others who suggest a larger shelter and grills. Also larger playground areas for kids and grandkids. Maybe playground areas on one end for kids. Shelters, tables, and grills on the others for picnics. 0 0 Put the playgrounds together without a path inbetween. Those with multiple kids of different ages will need to watch both at the same time and these seem far apart. 1 0 IDEAS: look into alternative playground equipment material. The all metal looks outdated quickly. 2 0 Need outdoor cook position around the shelter 0 0 I would like to see a place in the park next to the shelter to be able to cook,0 0 Love the idea of a roof top area. Could be cool view of the fields. I am hoping that this area would include area to grill or cook.1 3 I like the seating plaza. That would be nice for this size of park.0 0 This is a great idea (Rooftop shelter). Concept 1 is the best of the 3.6 0 It would be nice to have a small shelter with places to cook.1 0 Really like concept 1. Would be nice to do a larger shelter.1 0 love (plaza space)0 0 Adding a retaining wall creates visually hidden locations that could lead to mischief.6 0 love (shelter)0 0 The rooftop deck is also excessive, money for that would be better suited in expanding the budget for what is already planned.4 0 To me, the retaining wall and rooftop shelter both represent safety hazards. We should not include either in the final design.0 0 Liking concept 1 & 3 for shelter. Rooftop would be unique! Like the separation between tables. More people can be there at once. 0 0 Concept 1 has playgrounds and plaza area on one end and picnic area with shelter on other. In another comment on another concept I mentioned this was a great idea. It should be included regardless of what concept is chosen. 0 0 More walking trails that enter the park from north side of the park through that housing area.1 0 More walking trails that ENTER into the park in the area of the ( D. R. Horton Home Builders area of homes ) on the north side of the park .1 0 More connections from the North side 2 0 Use Maximum 8' wide shared use trails, bike usage would predominantly be by children. Add trail connection on north side. TOPICS LAKEVILLE - CEDAR CROSSING: ALL COMMENTS Should not be set up for bike riders. The priority for this park should be walking and for kids.0 0 The sidewalk loop is actually great for little kids to ride bike around. Safer than streets. Not great if you don't want little kids to ride around. The sidewalk in the middle gives them an extra route to take. I don't have little ones, but it is nice for new riders. 0 0 Looks like there are two "sidewalk" entries off of greenwood. Should also be one off off Gunnison/207th street for those living north of the park 0 0 No don't like this (Trails on South side?)0 0 Path through the center of the park detracts from the flow.1 1 don't like the trail cutting through the park.1 1 More walking trails on the north side of the park that enter into the park from the north 2 0 This plan has the best/simplest trail design. Mostly around the perimeter.0 0 If you plan on bike riding trails in the park for the bikers . Could you please have both walking trails and bike trails next to each other like they have at Cobblestone Park in Apple Valley. Safer for walkers when there are bikers . I walk Cobblestone often and the bikers stay in the bike lanes and the walkers stay in the walking lanes around the park . Safer for little kids walking with their parents around the park too . Safer for all walkers . 0 0 Add more trees/ naturalized areas in unused areas 0 0 Center grass field could be reduced by half for more natural tree/ landscaped park area for kids and dogs to explore.0 0 Reduce size by half or eliminate Add more trees for natural park like experience.0 0 Although I do not back up to the proposed park area, I live close enough that more trees would be appreciated by all home owners surrounding the park.0 0 Huge area with no dedicated use. Other options could make use of half of this space 0 0 Love the tree coverage here.0 0 Pollinator display would create a great habitat.3 0 love (pollinator area)1 0 love (screening)0 0 I live behind of the future park I will love please if we have more 🌲 trees 🌲 so all of the houses 🏠have more privacy. More trees 🌲 attaching one picture. 1 0 Add more trees / naturalized areas for true park-like experience.1 0 This should not be a park for large competitive team games. It defeats the purpose of a community park.1 1 Maybe a fence so all the houses in front of the park have privacy so other people don’t trespass. And more trees 🌲0 0 More trees! The wind is insane over here along Greenwood. We need future wind blockage for the park to be enjoyable. Also it makes it look way more natural! 3 0 This idea of a pollinator garden is only found in this concept. One or even two such gardens should be in the final design, no matter which concept is chosen.0 0 Like the idea of the pollinator area 0 0 ADD: Pollinator area (similar to other concept) 2 0 Many of the local parks have smaller lots that are never at capacity - smaller lot means more green space.1 0 Smaller Parking lot 30 cars or less in the parking lot . Parking lot to large for actual usage 0 0 Love idea of option 1. Very creative should be fun for all age groups. My only adds would be making less parking to maximize the space, area for grilling, and possibly a small splash pad. 1 1 Plenty of parking for small neighborhood park 1 0 I agree 52 spaces is to much 3 0 I know some have commented that there is too much space being used for parking but I have lived by a busy park before and you definitely do NOT want people parking at the end of your driveway all spring/summer on the road. Adequate parking spaces are a necessity! 1 0 I like this smaller parking lot much better than the big one . 30 parking stalls or less , has my vote !0 0 I agree we do not need that hugh parking lot.2 0 Personally feel like 52 stall parking lot is too much. Maybe 30? Just hate to see so much space wasted on parking.8 0 Option 1 will be best for this community. A lot of young families. The parking lot seems excessive for a park of this size, perhaps reduce that surface area and use for something else? Even a green area or pollinator garden would be a better use. 4 0 10 parking spaces is more than enough 0 0 Too many parking stalls, 10 is enough. This is a community park and not for those kind of team competitive game. There are already other parks for those kind of events. 0 1 We don’t need parking it’s wasted space! If we live in the community we could walk. Probably you can use that part for tennis 🎾 courts.0 0 If the fields will be used for city sports games, then this parking is needed to avoid parking along neighborhood streets. Maybe we could decrease the amount of parking if it’s not 100% needed. Definite eye sore. 0 0 Use this smaller parking lot regardless of what design is chosen.2 0 Like the idea of a smaller parking lot. This should be more than sufficient for a small park intended to serve the area residents, not a large park for community athletic leagues. 0 0 This is a community park so keep the parking small. The people that use this park can walk there. We should not try to have kids bused in for games in this park 1 0 Smaller parking area/ 52 cars seems excessive 1 0 Pickleball is a fun sport that is fun for everyone.2 1 I like concept 3. It adds a little variety and would be fun to have a pickle ball court. There isn't many of those. Ice rink would be nice for free skating, not for hockey association. 7 1 Like option 3 the most, however Pickle Ball court seems excessive reduce in size and add play space for small children.0 0 Pickleball courts are great idea. Fastest growing court sport in USA. Teaching even in middle schools now.1 0 Put workout stations along trail with outdoor use equipment.1 1 yes to exercise equipment. great for both adults and older kids (middle/high school) to use.2 1 We have alot of hockey players in this area. Please consider an ice rink!!!3 1 Lots of hockey players in this area! An ice rink would be great!1 0 I like the idea of a half court basketball court. I highly DISLIKE the bankshot.0 0 Please hockey rink no matter what concept. Lots of hockey players and ice scaters in the neighborhood.0 0 Like the idea about some sort of fitness trail 0 0 I wouldI would vote for pickleball courts.2 0 I know many in the linden ridge community would love LOVE an ice rink :)11 0 Love this (exercise pod)3 0 Adding workout spots are a good idea for increasing activity along the walking path.1 0 Not sure this would be widely used. Especially for the size it is taking up. (Pickleball)3 1 It would be great to have pickleball courts incorporated into the park. Lakeville is lacking in courts, and it is a very popular sport for all ages.0 0 An ice rink would be fantastic! Great way for families to come together and stay active during our long winters. Warming house would be great as well.8 3 A couple horseshoe pits would be awesome. An ice rink would be great 6 0 Kids love gagaball. Maybe add a gagaball pit. Ice rink of course too. Nice to have one on this side of town.4 5 Too big (pickleball). would rather be 2 courts instead of 4. Put outdoor work out equipment in the extra space.2 0 Love the flow. Would like to see outdoor work out equipment along the paths or someplace in the park.0 0 pickle ball looks fun. there isn't many of these.1 1 no courts 2 0 Pickleball court seems like a great idea!0 1 Hockey rink/soccer field would be great. Perhaps a small baseball field? Do no like the idea of big tennis courts with fencing allOver.3 0 This is great for kids who just want to shoot hoops. (Bank Shot)3 0 I like the basketball hoop area. Will there be 2 basketball hoops?0 0 Pickle ball courts are a great idea. This is not all about kids but the entire community. I would go with 2 vs 4 courts to start with.1 0 This seems great for the older kids. Would suggest this option be included in whatever design is selected. (1/2 Basketball & Bank Shot court)0 0 Include a pickle ball court regardless of which design is chosen.0 0 Put a hockey rink with a warming house or don't do anything at all. It seems like you are clearly ignoring what people are asking for.2 0 PLEASE PLEASE put in courts, if not pickleball, then Tennis courts, there are none close by. Maybe 2 tennis courts and 2 pickleball courts? Any courts would be amazing!! 0 0 Ice skating rink in winter?1 0 IDEAS: Remove bankshot and and pickle ball courts (2 would be plenty). LIKES: Workout area (expand if possible)2 0 Huge fan of concept 1 and 3. I can’t wait for this park to be in!0 0 I like concept1 0 0 Don't know what the look out would be for at this part of the park. Could be used for something else. (West side of park)3 0 love the larger size parking lot, shelter, and playgrounds. Bean bags are close, exercise stations are great. This flow is very smooth. Not a fan of the rooftop deck, add gaga pits or something else over there. 1 2 Concept 1 has my vote!1 0 We like concept 1 the most but agree with other comments that the retaining wall may invite mischief from unsupervised kids. I didn't see anything about lighting? Will there be any? Will bikes be allowed on the trail or is intended to be walking trail only? 1 0 Seems like a great spot for TopGolf 1 1 As a strategy, we should consider that this park is not an event park. But a park for families, children and people wanting to walk and workout on the paths.1 0 I like concept 1 with the shelter from concept 2. I would reduce the parking lot to 10-15 spots and get rid of the bean bag court. Would the city supple the bean bags? If so, I foresee them being lost/stolen within the first week. The large field seems like a waste of space that could be turned into several different activities (pool, frisbee golf, large playground, etc). I do like the looping path but there should be a sidewalk to the north for DR Horton. 0 0 As a strategy, we should consider that this park is not an event park. But a park for families, children and people wanting to walk and workout on the paths.4 0 As a strategy, we should consider that this park is not an event park.

Not great if you don't want little kids to ride around. The sidewalk in the middle gives them an extra route to take. I don't have little ones, but it is nice for new riders. 0 0 No don't like this (Trails on South side?)0 0 Path through the center of the park detracts from the flow.1 1 don't like the trail cutting through the park.1 1 More walking trails on the north side of the park that enter into the park from the north 2 0 If you plan on bike riding trails in the park for the bikers . Could you please have both walking trails and bike trails next to each other like they have at Cobblestone Park in Apple Valley. Safer for walkers when there are bikers . I walk Cobblestone often and the bikers stay in the bike lanes and the walkers stay in the walking lanes around the park . Safer for little kids walking with their parents around the park too . Safer for all walkers . 0 0 Add more trees/ naturalized areas in unused areas 0 0 Center grass field could be reduced by half for more natural tree/ landscaped park area for kids and dogs to explore.0 0 Reduce size by half or eliminate Add more trees for natural park like experience.0 0 Huge area with no dedicated use. Other options could make use of half of this space 0 0 This should not be a park for large competitive team games. It defeats the purpose of a community park.1 1 Many of the local parks have smaller lots that are never at capacity - smaller lot means more green space.1 0 Plenty of parking for small neighborhood park 1 0 I like this smaller parking lot much better than the big one . 30 parking stalls or less , has my vote !0 0 10 parking spaces is more than enough 0 0 Use this smaller parking lot regardless of what design is chosen.2 0 Like the idea of a smaller parking lot. This should be more than sufficient for a small park intended to serve the area residents, not a large park for community athletic leagues.0 0 This is a community park so keep the parking small. The people that use this park can walk there. We should not try to have kids bused in for games in this park 1 0 Pickleball is a fun sport that is fun for everyone.2 1 I like concept 3. It adds a little variety and would be fun to have a pickle ball court. There isn't many of those. Ice rink would be nice for free skating, not for hockey association.7 1 Like option 3 the most, however Pickle Ball court seems excessive reduce in size and add play space for small children.0 0 Pickleball courts are great idea. Fastest growing court sport in USA. Teaching even in middle schools now.1 0 Put workout stations along trail with outdoor use equipment.1 1 Not sure this would be widely used. Especially for the size it is taking up. (Pickleball)3 1 Too big (pickleball). would rather be 2 courts instead of 4. Put outdoor work out equipment in the extra space.2 0 pickle ball looks fun. there isn't many of these.1 1 no courts 2 0 Pickleball court seems like a great idea!0 1 Pickle ball courts are a great idea. This is not all about kids but the entire community. I would go with 2 vs 4 courts to start with.1 0 Include a pickle ball court regardless of which design is chosen.0 0 Put a hockey rink with a warming house or don't do anything at all. It seems like you are clearly ignoring what people are asking for.2 0 PLEASE PLEASE put in courts, if not pickleball, then Tennis courts, there are none close by. Maybe 2 tennis courts and 2 pickleball courts? Any courts would be amazing!!0 0 Ice skating rink in winter?1 0 Seems like a great spot for TopGolf 1 1 As a strategy, we should consider that this park is not an event park. But a park for families, children and people wanting to walk and workout on the paths.3 0 TOPICS LAKEVILLE - CEDAR CROSSING: CONCEPT 3 COMMENTS Date: September 1, 2020 To: John Hennen, Parks & Recreation Director, City of Lakeville From: Sol Mirelez, 20835 Goodhue Way, Lakeville, MN 55044 Subject: Cedar Crossing Park My name is Sol Mirelez. I live at the address listed above in the Cedar Landing development. More specifically, I live in the northeast corner of the development. The back of my house faces the north, so I’ll see the Cedar Crossing park from my back windows or when I walk onto my deck. I’m writing for two reasons. The first is the letter you received from Mike Peterson who provided park concept input on behalf of “our” neighborhood communities. The second is to provide park input on behalf of one person, and one person only, myself. I appreciate the City placing a public park that is for anyone and everyone in our neighborhood. I like the City’s park decentralization strategy; variations on sizes and variations on amenities from park-to-park given their intended use for the communities they’ll serve. I recently learned about the letter Mike Peterson sent to the City regarding the park. It appears he gathered input from a handful of people via our Cedar Landing Facebook page and submitted it as “our” community’s input. I ask that you keep the input provided in proper context. It by-passed the system the City put in place for gathering feedback on park concepts. I didn’t see, and consequently missed the deadline for input. But I did read all of it, and appreciate our community members who made the time to provide it. The one suggestion I have is to reduce the space for parking and the multi-use field. Since it’s a neighborhood park, those using it will likely walk versus drive to the park. Additionally, more people could use the park by reducing the space give to these, and reallocating it to more of the already planned amenities; small and medium sized shelters, more plaza shaded seating areas, more bank-shot and half courts, more playground equipment, more trail loops and trees, etc. I appreciate the opportunity to share this above. I felt it important to provide insight into the Mike Peterson letter. I also wanted to share my input on the park. I recognize it’s being submitted after the City’s deadline, and apologize for that. Again, regarding park input, I’m providing it for one person and one person only, myself. Feel free to contact me if there are any questions regarding the above. Thanks.
