The park is located on the south side of the city and is bounded by Holly Drive, Country Road J, and the marsh area known as Cedar Lake. The city has completed a feasability study for this site including a site search study, the development of a concept plan, a wetland delineation and survey, and have had the wetland delineation accepted bythe Rice Creek Watershed Board. We have also conducted a traffic study and a land appraisal. Population growth and program needs have dictated the need for this park, as well as the desire to purchase land at an affordable rate outside of the rapidly expanding MUSA. This park would service the needs for our own programmed rec facilities, as well as the needs of the youth athletic associations which include children from the surrounding cities which have also reached a saturation point in their field availability for a range of sport activities. Our concept plan includes four youth baseball fields, four combination fields , five soccer fields , two hockey rinks, a pleasure skating area, play area, a picnic shelter/warminghouse, a multi purpose building, and parking.
