CENTRAL PARK <br />At 225 acres, Central Park is the largest park in Roseville, and one of the larger urban parks in <br />Ramsey County. Central Park is divided by roads and other city infrastructure into five areas <br />connected by a series of walking and biking trails. <br />Upland natural communities here include and oak woodland - brushland with a small, restored <br />prairie, but is largely composed of lowland hardwood forests that are pioneering into formerly <br />open upland areas. The wetlands include a number of larger basins with varying degrees of past <br />disturbance, including ditching, and dredging that attempted to create waterfowl habitat. In <br />addition to these natural communities, Central Park also hosts Bennett Lake, which is discussed <br />in an earlier section of this report. <br />Recreationally, Central Park features an outdoor amphitheater, picnic pavilions and a fishing <br />dock on Bennett Lake. There are also a number of ball fields, volleyball courts, tennis courts, <br />bocce ball courts and play areas. Central Park (Dale West) features the Harriet Alexander Nature <br />Center, situated on a 52 acre nature preserve. Floating boardwalks provide for an exciting tour of <br />Roseville's premier nature preserve. <br />The Central Park Arboretum across Dale Street from the Harriet Alexander Nature Center has 8 <br />acres of beautiful gardens, trees, and rock landscaping with benches for contemplation and trails <br />for strolling. <br />THE FOLL O WING PAGES CONTAIN A SUMMARY OF UPLAND AND WETLAND <br />COMMUNITY DESCRIPTIONS AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. <br />City of Roseville 83 <br />Parks Natural Resource Management <br />
