The park was frequently used by students <br />from the nearby Anoka Middle School for the Arts, which <br />had limited recreational facilities. The park no longer <br />provided safe play opportunities, as hard compacted <br />ground and outdated playground equipment had become <br />a liability for the community. <br />Bolton & Menk strengthened support for park <br />improvements through community outreach and <br />collaborated with students from Anoka Middle School <br />for the Arts. We brought all stakeholders together to <br />determine desired improvements. During the spring <br />and fall, middle school students use the park for <br />physical education classes. The school contributed <br />financially to construct a looped pathway and install <br />an ADA-compliant playground that could be used for <br />their needs. This pathway and safe play structure were <br />recreation priorities for the larger community. <br />The Rudy Johnson Park Master Plan was developed so <br />the city could get shovels in the ground quickly and as <br />opportunities presented themselves. Using local resources, <br />the measurable walking loop was installed in 2020 and <br />removals occurred in the fall for 2021 construction. This <br />neighborhood park transformation has been quick and will <br />be a remarkable improvement once complete. <br />Square Lake Park Special Recreation <br />Feature Master Plan <br />Washington County, Minnesota <br />The Metropolitan Regional Parks and Trails System has <br />designated Square Lake Park as a Special Recreation <br />Feature. In order to be eligible for funding through the <br />Metropolitan Council, the county needed to adopt a park <br />master plan to guide future improvements. In addition <br />to gaining access to expanded funding streams, the <br />county needed to determine potential park expansion <br />opportunities, probable capital and natural improvements, <br />and identify programming opportunities desired <br />by stakeholders. <br />The project began in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic <br />lockdowns; Bolton & Menk worked with Washington <br />County to adjust public input processes to ensure <br />participant safety. The project proceeded using a virtual <br />input process, relying on tools like Microsoft Teams, <br />Mentimeter, Survey Monkey, and ArcGIS Story Maps to <br />conduct coordination meetings and online engagement <br />events. Bolton & Menk collaborated with Washington <br />County staff to conduct field surveys of park features <br />and natural resources and prepare displays showcasing <br />existing conditions.
