SUNRISE COMMUNITY PARK PARKING CONFIGURATION <br /> DATED FEBRUARY 5, 1990 <br /> Sunrise Park in Lino Lakes, Minnesota was calculated at a size of <br /> approximately 20 acres consisting of four softball diamonds and two picnic <br /> shelters with playground area and equipment, two hockey rinks and one <br /> pleasure rink with a warming house, horseshoe pits, and two sand <br /> volleyball courts. <br /> The National Recreation and Park Association founded in the late 1960 's <br /> has established standards and guidelines relating to the use of parks, <br /> recreation and open spaces . It is with these standards that I will <br /> calculate the amount of parking stalls warranted in Sunrise Park . <br /> As stated in NRPA parking standards for specific recreation facilities, it <br /> is noted that a community park such as Sunrise should have a minimum of <br /> five (5) parking stalls per - acre, but also states that with the use of an <br /> athletic field the standard should be a minimum of eight ( 8 ) stalls per <br /> acre . <br /> With such activities as "Sand Burr Days" in use at Sunrise Park you may <br /> possibly want to increase the parking to ten (10) stalls per acre . I have <br /> doted in outline the optional parking area in which the ten stall per acre <br /> would be met; however, it does not leave much room for berming and <br /> landscaping between the edge of pavement and Sunrise Drive . <br /> Minimum parking stall sizes are covered in the NRPA parking standards, it <br /> suggests that stalls be a minimum of 200 square feet, or 10 feet wide <br /> 20 feet deep. Please see detail 1 below. A 12 foot wide parking access is <br /> recommended as a minimum for a single lane, and a 24 foot wide access for <br /> a double lane . Please see detail 2. <br /> Option "A" has 162 parking stalls available that would calculate at 8 . 1 <br /> parking stalls per acre, with the addition of option "B" a total of 208 <br /> parking stalls would be achieved at 10. 4 stalls per acre . <br /> If you have any additional questions or concerns I will be delighted to <br /> answer them at the Park.
