The City is well served by its neighborhood park system, with parks and open space within 1/4 - 1/2 mile of most residences. Residents are also served by Tony Schmidt Lake Johanna County Park, which is owned and operated by Ramsey County. Connections between parks and community destinations are incomplete in several areas of the community. The City is divided by several major highways and freeways, which present significant barriers and/or safety issues for pedestrians and bicyclists. Trail use has soared for all ages, with walking, jogging, biking and in -line skating all gaining popularity as forms of exercise and recreation. As highlighted by the 1996 Quality of Life Survey, linkages within and through the City are important to citizens. Connecting trails among areas of the community will provide the ability to walk, bike and skate both recreationally and to destinations within the City and surrounding areas. Future facilities for the TCAAP area involve: a joint athletic facility for Arden Hills and the surrounding communities, a community park, a nature preserve, and four (4) neighborhood parks. The TCAAP area will be connected by a series of trails to the existing developed area south of Highway 96 as it develops. II. GOALS AND POLICIES Arden Hills has worked hard to provide a strong system of park and trail facilities. The following goals build on past efforts and work toward strengthening recreation facilities and systems. The goals relate to parks and trails south of Highway 96 and the TCAAP areas. Overall Goal: Maintain and Expand Park and Trail Facilities 1. Continue to expand the trail system to connect neighborhoods to parks, trails and other area destinations according to defined priorities. 2. Continue to provide a balance of active and passive recreational areas, while emphasizing the natural beauty of the area. 3. Connect neighborhoods to the City's trail system by constructing pedestrian crossings that eliminate or avoid conflicts with major transportation barriers. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 40 Parks and Trails i Lj if 4. Strengthen the existing neighborhood park system by making improvements as feasible through the annual budgeting and CIP process. 5. Develop the TCAAP area with an integrated neighborhood park and trail system. 6. Work with the surrounding communities to plan a Joint Athletic Facility. 7. Develop a community park in the Civic Center area of TCAAP. 8. Expand recreation activities to meet a broader variety of ages and interests. 9. Strive to involve users in the parks and recreation planning process. 10. Pursue outside funding sources for park and trail improvements. 11. Require new neighborhood parks to be a minimum of 5 acres in size to ensure viable space for active recreation. 12. Explore opportunities for additional soccer fields. III. EXISTING FACILITIES AND SERVICE AREAS Facilities Arden Hills has over 145 acres of City -owned parks and open space within its borders, along with approximately 208 acres of land in the Tony Schmidt Lake Johanna County Park (See Table 5.1). The City system includes (See Figure 5.1): 0 7 small parks ranging from 1 acre to 5 acres in size 0 4 neighborhood parks ranging from 12-20 acres in size 0 2 natural areas totaling 55.5 acres Trails extend through portions of the City's neighborhoods, both off -road and on - road as shown on Figure 5.1. Service Areas Residents are typically able and willing to walk 1/4 to 1/2 mile to reach a neighborhood park. Figure 5.2 shows 1/4 and 1/2-mile service areas for neighborhood parks in the City. The service area is disrupted in several areas by City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Parks and Trails Page 41 Ll TABLE 5.1 - PARKS & FACILITIES Softball/ B'ball Baseball Court Play Picnic Warming Permanent Hockey Skating Acres Field Soccer Tennis Area Equip.

These obstacles present significant barriers for pedestrians, resulting in disconnected neighborhoods and lack of access to city park and trail facilities for some neighborhoods. To better connect neighborhoods with existing parks, several pedestrian connections are planned. Completing connections will help increase opportunities for recreation and transportation. Two (2) residential areas in the community are outside of the 1/2-mile service area for neighborhood parks. These are (a) the area on the southeast side of Round Lake and (b) the area on the southeast side of Lake Johanna. These two areas will have better access to facilities when the trail system is completed. IV. PARK AND TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS Parks South of Highway 96. The developed portion of the City is well served by neighborhood parks, as shown in Map 5.1 and Table 5.1. No new neighborhood parks are planned for the already developed area of Arden Hills. Improvements to neighborhood parks are determined on an annual basis, through the annual fe budgeting process. i TCAAP Area. The TCAAP area will include a series of integrated parks and trails. This system will serve new residents and will physically and socially connect the existing, developed portion of the City with the TCAAP area as it develops. The park system has been identified in the TCAAP area on Figure 5.1. The system includes: Four (4) neighborhood parks to be relatively evenly spread through the residential areas. Neighborhood parks will be 5-20 acres in size and are intended for active and passive play. A Joint Athletic Facility - to be developed by the cities of Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton, Shoreview, and School District 621. A Community Park, to be developed in the Civic Center area near Lexington and Highway 96. This park is intended as a community gathering place for festivals, concerts and events, as well as standard park activities. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 45 Parks and Trails The Park Preserve, consisting of approximately 1,100 acres will become a public regional amenity of outstanding value. The "hill' (kame), Lake Marsden, woodlands and wetland will be public open space. Trails will connect the Civic Center and Community Park area with the Joint Athletic Facility and Rice Creek corridor to the west; and connecting to the City of Shoreview on the north at County Road I. Trails South of Highway 96. Because several major roadways cross Arden Hills, travel by foot or bike between certain areas of the community is nearly impossible. Several trail connections are planned in order to link areas of the City with each other, as well as linking to surrounding communities. Many regional destinations, including Tony Schmidt Lake Johanna County Park, Long Lake Regional Park, Como Park, and Shoreview Community Center could be easily accessed through a connected trail system. In addition to recreation opportunities, trail connections can provide an alternative transportation system. Several major employers are located in Arden Hills. A connected system will give bicycle commuters an opportunity to use the trail system to reach work places. Figure 5.1 shows existing and future parks and trails. Some of the planned trail links include new pedestrian crossings to complete the connection. These connections will allow safer pedestrian and bicycle travel throughout the city and a connection to the surrounding communities. Most of the planned trails are along roads. Connections around Round Lake, Valentine Lake, and Lake Johanna are also planned. There is not any formal boat access on Valentine Lake, however the City would like to gain parking and fishing access from the future trail along the lake and will work with Bethel College on this possibility. Two (2) rail bridges over I-35W are planned to become pedestrian linkages. The existing bridges provide a cost-efficient opportunity to adapt existing bridge facilities for current trail needs: 1. A spur from New Brighton into the Gateway Business Area is minimally used and may be abandoned when the redevelopment of this area is complete. It could provide a pedestrian/bicycle connection from the Round Lake area to Long Lake Regional Park and downtown New Brighton. 2. A spur from Mounds View into the TCAAP area is no longer used, and will be a connection into the TCAAP area. This rail line crosses I-35W and Highway 10 approximately 1/2 mile north of Highway 96. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 46 Parks and Trails It In addition, six (6) new potential pedestrian crossings are shown on the plan with the intent of better connecting parts of the City together: 3. The bridge over Highway 51 on County Road E does not allow any pedestrian movements and is dangerous for bicycles. An addition of a pedestrian facility will enable residents to access Tony Schmidt Lake Johanna County Park more easily. 4. A connection between Royal Hills Park and the Round Lake area is planned over Highway 10, north of Interstate 694. 5. At the intersection of Highways 10 and 96, a safe pedestrian crossing is needed, and will be incorporated into construction plans. 6. Ramsey County intends to widen the railroad underpass connecting the southern and northern portions of Tony Schmidt Park. 7. The railroad underpass at New Brighton Road needs to be widened for safe pedestrian use. 8. The railroad underpass on Old Highway 10/Snelling Avenue needs to be widened for safe pedestrian use. Specific trail design will depend upon such factors as right-of-way, shoulder, type of use and other local circumstances. TCAAP Area. Trails will connect residential neighborhoods, parks, the Civic Center area and the Park Preserve area in the TCAAP area. Ramsey County intends to install a trail along both sides of Rice Creek in the County Park. A rail spur from Mounds View into the TCAAP area is no longer used, and will be a pedestrian connection into the TCAAP area. This rail line crosses I-35W and Highway 10 approximately 1/2 mile north of Highway 96. V. IMPLEMENTATION Capital Improvements Planning and Budgeting Each year the City prepares a five-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) and a budget. The CIP is a long range plan, allowing a broad look and an opportunity to consider financial implications, whereas the budget determines actions for the next year. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 47 Parks and Trails Ci 0 For park facilities and equipment replacement, the CIP sets forth needs for the next 5 years. Equipment replacement is prioritized according to wear, age, condition and other factors. Priorities within the CIP and budgeting process are often shuffled, due to changing or unforeseen circumstances. Priorities Table 5.2 sets forth priorities for trails labeled A, B and C, with A being the highest priority. This list of priorities will be utilized in the Capital Improvements Plan and budgeting processes. With these priorities laid out, the City will make spending detenninations on an annual basis, and plan appropriate trail improvements to be coordinated with road upgrade projects. Priorities will be re-evaluated annually and will likely change with varying circumstances. The City will work closely with Ramsey County to plan for construction of trails in conjunction with County Road projects. Trail easements in areas identified may be acquired when land is developed. In developed areas, trail easements or land can be acquired as redevelopment occurs and as opportunities arise, e.g. abandoned railroad right-of-way or in utility rights -of -way or road reconstruction. No new neighborhood parks are planned outside of the TCAAP area. Within the TCAAP area, parks and trails will be constructed as development occurs. Appendix C shows the Play Structure Replacement Schedule, the Trail Maintenance and Resurfacing Schedule, and the Court Resurfacing Schedule. These schedules provide the City with the opportunity to plan for long range maintenance and are intended to replace or improve facilities and equipment in a timely manner.

These service areas should be accessible to residential areas without major physical barriers. The park classification and standards are based on the National Classification System for Parks, Open Space & Greenways. These National Standards are intended to guide communities in the future development of a park system. They are intended to be used as guidelines at a local level and to be taken into consideration with local community needs. I. NEIGHBORHOOD PARK Use Neighborhood parks are the basic unit of the park system and serve as the 4t recreational and social focus of the neighborhood. They accommodate a wide variety of age and user groups, including children and adults. They create a sense of place by bringing together the unique character of the site with that of the neighborhood. Development Neighborhood parks typically have a balance of active and passive park uses. Active recreational facilities can be used for organized athletics, but should not be over scheduled as to become a nuisance to the neighborhood. Site Criteria Size: 5-30 acres Service Area: 1/4 to 1/2 mile distance and uninterrupted by non- residential roads and other physical barriers. Typical Elements: o play equipment o open field area o athletic fields o benches 4 o trails o landscaping City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 50 Parks and Trails t q o hard surface court area o picnic facilities o pleasure skating a parking on -site Arden Hills has 14 neighborhood parks. II. COMMUNITY PARKS Use o tennis courts o hockey rinks o park bldg./warming house Community parks are larger in size and serve a broader purpose than neighborhood parks. They are designed to meet the recreational needs of several neighborhoods or larger segments of the community by allowing for larger community gatherings. They can also be designed to preserve unique landscapes and open spaces. Development Community parks serve both active and passive recreation uses. A community celebration or an athletic tournament may be an appropriate use. The site should be accessible to the entire community by arterial or collector streets, as well as community trails. Site Criteria Size: 30-50 acres Service Area: 1/2 to 5 miles Typical Elements: o lighted athletic fields o hard surface courts o park building with restrooms o hockey rinks o pleasure skating o parking area(s) o play equipment o picnic areas and shelter The TCAAP area will have a Community Park located near the southeast corner. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Parks and Trails Page 51 it SPORTS COMPLEX Use The sports complex accommodates heavily programmed athletic fields and increases economy in maintenance. These facilities are usually of a higher standard to accommodate tournaments and the specific needs of athletic associations. They are strategically located to avoid noise and traffic intrusions in residential areas. Development Unlike neighborhood or community parks, they are developed primarily for active recreation use. Because they may be designed for tournament use, site access from other communities needs to be taken into consideration. Soils and topography should be of great importance, as well as access to public utilities. Site Criteria Size: 40 acres or more Service Area: community -wide Typical Elements: o lighted athletic fields of tournament quality including; ballfields, football, soccer o park building with restrooms o maintenance facilities o play equipment o parking areas to accommodate participants and spectators IV. NATURAL PARK AREAS o indoor & outdoor skating rinks o indoor & outdoor basketball and volleyball courts o connecting trails o concession facilities o group picnic areas and shelters Use Natural resource areas are areas set aside to preserve significant or unique landscapes. They are often, but not always, property unsuitable for development City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 52 Parks and Trails with steep slopes, drainageways, and ravines or wetlands. In addition, there may be local tree protection and shoreland ordinances or state and local wetland ordinances that restrict development in some way. A key criterion for acquisition would be that they would enhance the community by preserving its natural amenities and allow the community as a whole to enjoy these natural resources. Trails for hiking and nature study and limited picnicking areas are often the only uses allowed. Small parking areas are all that is needed unless it is to be used by schools or other study groups, in which case, picnic areas may also be utilized as outdoor classroom space. Development Natural resource areas are developed primarily for passive use and in such a way that the natural resources can be both preserved and utilized by the community, primarily for nature viewing and study, or as a greenway. Natural resource areas can also act as visual buffers/barriers, as well as important community landmarks. Site Criteria Size: no requirements It Service Area: community wide or neighborhood based Typical Resources/Qualities include: 4f o protected waters o biodiversity o wildlife corridor/habitat a forest/woodland o functioning ecosystem The City has two (2) natural park areas: Chatham and Crepeau. City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Page 53 Parks and Trails r� it Appendix B: Trail Classification & Design Standards Some trails are used primarily for recreation purposes and allow relatively uninterrupted pedestrian movement to and through the city park system. Other trails emphasize safe travel to city parks or other destination points, and are generally located within an existing road right-of-way. The type, design and location of trails are very dependent on local circumstances including purpose, land or right-of-way availability, and the available funding. Trails can provide access to regional destination points (schools, work places, parks, stores and open spaces within and outside the community) and should connect with trail systems in the surrounding communities. Trails accommodate pedestrians, bicycles and in -line skates. Some trails in Arden Hills are grass or woodchip surfaced. Asphalt surfaced trails are the city's goal in order to allow equal access to all user groups, as well as for durability and maintenance reasons.
