• In general, the existing developed portion of Arden Hills is <br /> well served by parks. There key acquisitions needed to <br /> improve function and safety (parking and driveway changes at <br /> Perry Park) and to assure long-term use (such as access and <br /> parking for Cummings and Hazelnut Parks). <br /> Use of major portions of the TCAAP lands for recreation and <br /> open space is important as TCAAP transitions from the <br /> former munitions plant use to a mixed-use development area. <br /> Dedication of parks, open space and trails in accordance with <br /> the TCAAP Plan will assure an adequate supply of recreation <br /> and open space for new residents and employees and <br /> enhanced recreation opportunities for existing Arden Hills <br /> residents. Park land acquisitions are discussed further on <br /> page_. <br /> 4. Funding <br /> The Park, Trail and Open Space Plan establishes a need for <br /> approximately $ million in park and trail improvements <br /> and acquisition over the next 20 years. A long-term <br /> commitment of funding and personnel is needed to achieve <br /> the plans vision. A combination of annual city capital <br /> improvement funds, Federal and State grants, cooperative <br /> funding of State and County trails, private sector support and <br /> park and trail dedication from new development and <br /> additional set asides of open space land at TCAAP are <br /> needed, along with continued community and political support <br /> for park and recreation.
