<br />~ . <br />>- <br /> Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Heeting <br /> June 23, 1987 - Page 2 >> <br />. <br /> ...The sliding hill appears to be near Highway 10; will there be barriers <br /> there? Buckley stated the sliding area runs back towards the park, will <br /> be some distance from Highway 10 and perfectly safe. <br /> ...Residents suggested a hard court area for basketball. Buckley replied <br /> that if tennis courts are installed, a hard court area will be provided in <br /> connection with the courts. <br /> ...Residents seemed pleased with the park plans, agreed with Buckley's <br /> plan to install playing field, then play equipmeQt, but reiterated their <br /> strong desire for tennis courts. In obtaining signatures for their <br /> petition for park development, they stated that every homeowner was eager <br /> to sign, and every homeowner asked for play equipment and tennis courts. <br /> Much interest in winter activities was also expressed (informal skating, <br /> sliding hill). <br /> Buckley pointed out the trail which will run through the park, connecting <br /> the area with Colleen Avenue, hence to Floral Park and Cummings Park. The <br /> trail, because of the topography of the area, will be a walking trail <br /> only. <br /> Before leaving, two residents of the area who participate in organized <br /> hockey, commended Buckley and the Parks Maintenance ataff on the excellent <br />. grooming on Perry Park Hockey Rink last winter; felt maintenance much <br /> < better than in Shoreview or New Brighton parka. <br />. / <br />
