City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting May 5, 1997 Joe was out and looked at a few of the parks recently and he noticed problems at some of the parks . He reported the big Oak tree, on right side of driveway, in Shenandoah Park has a large branch hanging from it . Barry will have crews check this . He asked about the ballfields in this park and asked if there was a way he could clean-up the back area. Barry said the area is usually wet and hard to mow with the equipment we have . He also asked about the playground equipment in this park. Barry said the equipment is in bad shape and it needs to be removed or retrofitted. Barry talked about retrofitting and the problems there might be in doing this . Joe then asked about the entrance road into Country Lakes Park. He is concerned about people driving around the gate and going into the park. Barry said this will be taken care of this summer. He realizes that alot of that traffic is done by city staff . Mr. Schmidt said there is a Birch tree by the entrance that is dead and needs to be removed. Paul asked about the irrigation system at Sunrise Park. Barry anticipates doing this in the fall after summer softball leagues are done. Joe asked what happened to the land at the church on County Road J. George reminded him that the Park Board decided not to enter into an agreement for this property because there is no benefit to the City doing so. Paul asked what the status was of Birchwood Park. George said no one has brought anything to the Park Board so no action will be taken.
