Describe what recreation facilities will be developed or rehabilitated and any lands that <br /> will be acquired. <br /> 2. Describe your community's need for these facilities and how they will complement <br /> e�sting recreation facilities, <br /> LaMotte Park <br /> This proposed project involves the construction of appro�mately 2300 lineal feet of 8' <br /> wide asphalt trail, paving and installation of concrete curb and gutter around an e�sting <br /> parking lot and the construction of a commercial play structure in tke City of Centerville's ', <br /> largest municipal park. The asphalt trail is designed to interconnect several already linked � <br /> new and e�sting residential subdivisions in Centerville through tne City's largest municipal � <br /> park and then link into the Anoka County Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park �i <br /> Reserve trail system. i <br /> There is no land to be acquired to complete this project. LaMotte Park was recently <br /> expanded through the acquisition of 12.41 acres that was purchased in Deceznber, 1996. � <br /> This recent purchase brings the total pazk acreage to approximately 20 acres of dedicated <br /> park land. So far the City has expended substantial monies from park dedication fiznds on <br /> the acquisition of land and Phase I development. Phase I development includea storm <br /> water improvements, site grading, seeding and mulching, construction of a pleasure rink � <br /> and renovation ofthe existing hockey rink. � <br /> I <br /> The City is requesting a grant to coznplete tke development of LaMotte Pa.rk. Completing �� <br /> the development of tbis park will be beneficially significant on a regional level due to the <br /> location of the park. LaMotte Park is located adjacent to the southeast shore of <br /> Centerville Lake. Centeiville Lake is one of the best fishing lakes in the Twin Cities and is <br /> part of a chain of lakes in the County's regional park reserve. Thus, the park would <br /> become a focal point for Centerville, Anoka County and the region by acting as a traill�ead <br /> for the regional park system. <br />
