PLAN NOTES:
The 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 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.
