Application Request Proiect Description The Project that we are requesting funding for is an internal loop multi-use pathway within Rosebrook Park. Rosebrook Park is an e�sting community park conveniently located at the intersection of County Road C and Snelling Avenue. The Park is currently undergoing a major face-lift as part of our internal Park Improvement Program. The re- design includes the construction of two soccer fields, new parking facilities, a new accessible park structure, re-building the existing tennis courts, a neighborhood ball field, a new basketball facility, and the loop trail that we are requesting funding for. The entire process will be phased in over several years, we started last year with new accessible play equipment, and will continue this year with the soccer field improvements, the ball diamond, part of the new parking facilities, and the new loop trail. The City of Roseville feels this project is a good fit for your Outdoor Recreation Grant Program for several reasons. The park is currently used very extensively by the neighborhood and entire community, and will remain a multi-use park with the proposed changes; it also occupies one of the most heavily used regional transportation corridors in Ramsey County. Due to this location, the proposed loop trail connects the park to the e�sting trails on Snelling Avenue and has quick access to the trail on County Road C, both provide major access to our trail system and access to other Regional trails. The location of the park is also key in that it is a neighbor to two facilities that will become major users, the Sunrise Condominium Complex, and The Press Gym. Sunrise Condominiums are a senior facility and the trail will provide a recreation outlet for them and direct access to all of the facilities, The Press Gym is a health Club located just south of the park that the City is working in partnership with to help improve parking facilities, and whose clients are potential major users of the trail. We are also stressing accessibility in the new park with accessible play equipment and the new park shelter improvements. The proposed trail is appro�mately 2,100 feet long, and will be an 8' wide asphalt trail as per our standard pathway improvement program. The trail will connect to the e�sting multi-use trail on Snelling Avenue on both the north and south sides of the park (see concept plan enclosed). The cost of the project for trail construction and landscaping is projected to be $25,000.00, and is proposed for this year's park improvement.
