Comments/thoughts from the Park Tours on June 24, 1997 <br /> • Hazelnut Park <br /> * Needs new shelter. <br /> * Soccer field is on Trinity Lutheran Church property. It is a nice addition to the park. The City <br /> should consider contacting the church to let them know we may be interested in purchasing the <br /> property abutting the park if they ever consider selling it. <br /> * The playground seems to be a nice addition and is heavily used. <br /> * Trail access easements are planned as a budgeted item for 1998. <br /> * Probably the site for the 1998 Day in the Park. <br /> Lindey's <br /> * Used for football and baseball games by area residents. <br /> * Possibly add ag-lime to the infield. <br /> * Possibly create a small parking lot on the back side of the park (currently no parking area). . <br /> * Possibly add a play structure to the north corner of the park property if the residents are <br /> interested. This structure would replace the one at Freeway. <br /> Freeway <br /> * Previously a neighborhood with mostly older people that now has several children and a day <br /> care. <br /> * Park does not receive much use other than during skating season, should find a way to add <br /> • amenities to make it more useable. <br /> * Residents have requested a new play structure. <br /> * Possibly expand the hard court basketball area if the play structure is moved to Lindeys. <br /> * May be possible to expand the hard court area if the play structure remains if the new structure <br /> is relocated to the north and the existing grass berm is leveled. <br /> *Possibly pave the hockey rink to make it useable year-round. At the same time, a small parking <br /> lot can be created. <br /> Arden Oaks <br /> * The play structure and swing set are in good shape. The play structure is scheduled to be <br /> replaced in 1999. <br /> * No immediate improvements need to be made. <br /> In eg rson <br /> * The park does not receive much use other than from people having picnics or shooting baskets. <br /> * It is used more in the winter for sliding. <br /> Cre eau <br /> * Only able to view most of the park by way of the grass hiking trails. <br /> * Doesn't get much use. <br /> * Possibly expand the trails, upgrade them to a bituminous surface. <br /> * Possibly add a play structure to the area off Benton Way. We have had a request from the <br /> 0 <br /> neighborhood for a play structure in their area. <br />
