Comments/thoughts from the Park Tours on June 24, 1997 • Hazelnut Park * Needs new shelter. * Soccer field is on Trinity Lutheran Church property. It is a nice addition to the park. The City should consider contacting the church to let them know we may be interested in purchasing the property abutting the park if they ever consider selling it. * The playground seems to be a nice addition and is heavily used. * Trail access easements are planned as a budgeted item for 1998. * Probably the site for the 1998 Day in the Park. Lindev's * Used for football and baseball games by area residents. * Possibly add ag-lime to the infield. * Possibly create a small parking lot on the back side of the park (currently no parking area). * Possibly add a play structure to the north corner of the park property if the residents are interested. This structure would replace the one at Freeway. Freewav * Previously a neighborhood with mostly older people that now has several children and a day care. * Park does not receive much use other than during skating season, should find a way to add amenities to make it more useable. • * Residents have requested a new play structure. * Possibly expand the hard court basketball area if the play structure is moved to Lindeys. * May be possible to expand the hard court area if the play structure remains if the new structure is relocated to the north and the existing grass berm is leveled. *Possibly pave the hockey rink to make it useable year-round. At the same time, a small parking lot can be created. Arden Oaks * The play structure and swing set are in good shape. The play structure is scheduled to be replaced in 1999. * No immediate improvements need to be made. Ingerson * The park does not receive much use other than from people having picnics or shooting baskets. * It is used more in the winter for sliding. Crepeau * Only able to view most of the park by way of the grass hiking trails. * Doesn't get much use. * Possibly expand the trails, upgrade them to a bituminous surface. * Possibly add a play structure to the area off Benton Way. We have had a request from the • neighborhood for a play stricture in their area.
