PARK BOARD MINUTES January 8, 1990 n storage at this time. The Forest Lake Athletic Association built the storage building. Bill Nissen questioned installing an ice rink in Lino Park. He felt that because this is near a county road, and the traffic is heavy, it would be dangerous for kids crossing the street to get to the ice rink. He suggested a residential area for an additional ice rink would be better. He stated that there should be a cross walk to get the kids safely to the other side. The park board has to decide priorities in development of the city parks . George Lindy stated for example, if the board decided to complete Birch Park from start to finish it would be very expensive. But if the board decides to develop a small portion of Birch Park , then shift development to other areas of the city that would be better utilization of the park dedicated funds . The park board discussed acquiring a batting cage to be used at Sunrise Park. Marty stated that the Circle Pines Lions Club donated a batting cage to the city. Ken Johnson suggested the city purchase signs depicting city parks . The sign would not have to mention the name of the park, simply say "City Park" and an arrow pointing the direction to the park.
