Centerville 2040 Chapter 5: Parks &Trails <br /> Council's classification as a regional park reserve requires that 80% of its land <br /> area must remain in a natural state. Existing facilities within the Regional Park <br /> Reserve are picnic areas, parking, boat launches, canoe launches, fishing pier, <br /> campgrounds, nature center, heritage lab, a prairie restoration project, cross <br /> country ski trails, a swimming beach with bathhouse/restroom, playground and <br /> drinking fountain, and Chomonix Golf Course. <br /> The City recognizes the value of the park reserve as a resource to the region <br /> and the City, and will continue to take measures to insure protection of the <br /> reserve from adverse impacts of development. <br /> I'EGI®NAL I RAILS <br /> Two important regional trails have been identified and mapped on the Parks <br /> and Trails Plan. The first is the Central Anoka County Regional Trail that runs <br /> east/west through the City along Main Street (County Road 14). This trail <br /> connects to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes on the west and to the Hardwood <br /> Creek Regional Trail in Washington County. <br /> The second trail, Rice Creek Chain of Lakes-Bald Eagle Regional Trail connects <br /> to the Central Anoka County Trail through the regional park. It extends <br /> north/south on the western portion of the City along County Road 21 and <br /> County Road 14. <br /> The development of these two regional trails through the heart of Centerville is <br /> a great benefit to the residents to improve access to three significant regional <br /> parks and abundant recreation opportunities. <br /> I.®CAL f=ICYCLE 'PEDESTRIAN I RAILS <br /> The City has prepared a trails plan that identifies a system of bikeways, trails and <br /> sidewalks connecting City parks and major bicycle/pedestrian traffic generators. <br /> These include schools, the downtown area, and Rice Creek Chain of Lakes <br /> Regional Park Reserve. The bikeway/pedestrian system will include trails and <br /> sidewalks. <br /> All existing and proposed trails in the City are identified on the Parks and Trails <br /> Plan (Map 5-1). Proposed trails are listed below: <br /> • County Road 54 from the southern boundary of the City to Center Street. <br /> • CSAH 21 Centerville Rd between the southern City limit and Dupre Road. <br /> Chapter 5 1 Page X <br />
