The beach at Lake Johanna, and Tony Schmidt Park, are not a part of the Arden <br /> Hills' parks system. They are owned and maintained by Ramsey County. <br /> Some of the comments we received about park maintenance in general concerned <br /> controlling poison ivy and pesky bugs. We will try to control the poison <br /> ivy in the major park areas, but we can't do too much about the mosquitoes <br /> you mentioned. We're part of the Metropolitan Mosquito Control Commission, <br /> and they take care of mosquito control. <br /> 32% of those of you replying to the survey were under 20, 10% between 20 and <br /> 30 years of age, 42% in the 30 to 50 year age group, and 16% over 50. <br /> 167 of you had lived in Arden Hills less than two years , 227 from 2 to 5 vears, <br /> 36% from 6 to 15 years, and 26% over 15 years. 13% of those of you respond- <br /> ing said you didn't use the parks; 87% stated that they did. They seem to <br /> be used pretty equally in each season of the year, 35% in summer, 257 in the <br /> fall, 177 in the winter, and 237 use them in the spring of the year. <br /> Most of _you (597) were satisfied with the appearance of your park most of the <br /> time, 30% are satisfied with the appearance of your park all of the time, 10% <br /> are pleased only some of the time, and the inevitable 17 -- never. <br /> 78% of you are satisfied with the level of development of the park you use, <br /> 22% were not satisfied, some feeling it was over-developed, probably an equal <br /> number feeling it underdeveloped. <br /> Responses on questions as to program usage were more mixed, with 52% of you <br /> having used an Arden Hills' sponsored recreation program, and 48% of you <br /> not having participated. Of those who have participated, 32% rated the programs <br /> excellent, 597 rated them good, 87 fair and -- here's our 17 again -- 17 poor. <br /> -2- <br />
