City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: <br />9-3 <br />identified Lexington Avenue as a regional trail search corridor. The future alignment will <br />be determined by Ramsey County through completion of a regional master plan for the <br />Lexington Avenue corridor anticipated to be completed in 2018. This extent of this <br />corridor is expected to extend from County Road J to Larpenteur Avenue. <br /> <br />In 2006, Ramsey County acquired 113 acres of land within the Twin Cities Army <br />Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property for the Rice Creek North Regional Tail Corridor. <br />The new trail corridor is located in the northwestern corner of the TCAAP site adjacent <br />to Rice Creek and Interstate 35W. This land was transferred to the County by the <br />National Park Service as part of the Federal Lands to Parks Program. An amendment <br />to the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor Master Plan in 2003, identified an <br />additional 49 acres to the east of the existing area to be acquired as a wildlife corridor. <br />Following the County’s purchase of 427 acres of the TCAAP site for redevelopment, a <br />subsequent amendment was made to the Master Plan identifying 60 additional acres for <br />the Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor. This area generally extends from <br />Highway 96 to County Road I and would facilitate a trailhead entry, additional trails, and <br />a 150 foot wide trail corridor along the eastern side of the TCAAP development through <br />the 500’ access from County I to the wildlife corridor. <br /> <br />Designated a regional park in 2006, the 217 acre Tony Schmidt Regional Park extends <br />from the northern shore of Lake Johanna to the west side of Mounds View High School <br />on Lake Valentine Road. Recent improvements include the completion of a trail <br />underpass connecting the north and south sides of the park, which were previously <br />bisected by the railroad. While much of the park is open space, the park offers a variety <br />of amenities and is connected to local paths. <br /> <br />There are a number of regional parks within a short distance of Arden Hills. Long Lake <br />Regional Park is located in New Brighton, and the Snail Lake Regional Park is in <br />Shoreview. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Preserve is in Shoreview, Circle <br />Pines, and Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />9.3 ARDEN HILLS PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM <br /> <br />Arden Hills has 14 City parks ranging in size from one acre to 28 acres and other open <br />areas that cover more than 145 acres (Figure 9.2 and Table 9.1). There is also <br />approximately 17 miles of paths, which are primarily located on or adjacent to County <br />roads. The surface of these paths varies between asphalt, concrete, gravel, wood chip <br />mulch, and grass. The parks in Arden Hills provide a variety of amenities ranging from <br />tennis courts and playgrounds to baseball diamonds and picnic shelters (Table 9.1). <br />The City parks are well-distributed throughout Arden Hills south of Highways 96 and 10 <br />and most residents are within one mile of a City park; however, controlled access roads <br />interfere with convenient access to some parks that would otherwise be close by.
