City of Arden Hilts- Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> • Ridgewood Neighborhood Park (unofficial name)— Resurface tennis court. <br /> Add benches for wildlife viewing. Add park sign. <br /> • Valentine Park— Complete drainage study and complete drainage <br /> improvements for the future of the park. The following improvements are <br /> contingent upon the results of the study: Add a looped trail around the inside <br /> of the park. Connect existing recreational features to paved trails for ADA <br /> accessibility. Reconfigure parking lot to detach park features from the parking <br /> lot pavement. Add a new warming house/picnic shelter. Move the half <br /> basketball court. Add screening for the outdoor bathroom facility. <br /> 9.4.2 Recreation <br /> The City currently has an extensive recreation program. While the program has <br /> been primarily focused on youth and adolescent activities, an increased need for <br /> teen, adult, and senior activities was identified in the 2002 PTOS Plan as well as <br /> the community meetings held for the 2008 Comprehensive Plan update. A study <br /> should be undertaken to determine the demand for such program, the types of <br /> program that are needed, potential funding sources, and the possibility of <br /> collaborating with other public and private organizations. To help inform the <br /> recreation program development process, advisory groups for seniors, teens, <br /> children, and other interested groups should be formed or consulted. <br /> 9.4.3 Pathway Expansion and Upgrades <br /> A number of neighborhoods in Arden Hills have pathways; however, in order to <br /> provide a connected and complete pathway system in Arden Hills, additional <br /> non-motorized paths are needed. While paths are very popular for recreational <br /> purposes, there is also a growing demand for utilitarian pathways that connect <br /> residential areas to destinations such as commercial areas, offices, parks, and <br /> other popular places. Providing multiple destinations on a pathway system can <br /> increase use, promote physical activity, and reduce motorized travel. The PTOS <br /> Plan and the community has called for path to be constructed or for unofficial <br /> path to be upgraded at the following locations: <br /> o Snelling/Old Highway 10 corridor from Arden Hills/Roseville border to <br /> Highway 96; <br /> o County Road E between Old Snelling and Highway 51; <br /> o County Road E between Lake Johanna Boulevard and New Brighton <br /> Road; <br /> o Lake Johanna Boulevard between Tony Schmidt Regional Park and the <br /> Roseville border to Northwestern College; <br /> o Crepeau Park on Tiller Lane to Hamline Avenue to the Roseville border; <br /> o Ingerson Road between Hamline Avenue and Lexington Avenue; <br /> DRAFT 50 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
