-OwlBURNSVILLE SKATE PARK <br /> The design of the Burnsville Skate Park was developed cooperatively by <br /> individuals active in the sport of inline skating, skateboarding and <br /> bicycling. Appendix A, is an illustration of the proposed facility that will <br /> encompass over 10,000 square feet and be located South of the current <br /> inline hockey rink. It will consist of various types of treated wood ramps <br /> that will be challenging to the novice as well as the expert. <br /> Some of the key features of the Park include: <br /> * Many of the ramps are movable, providing the flexibility and adaptability to <br /> keep individual users interested and involved in their chosen sports. <br /> * All skill levels, from novice to expert, were considered in the development of <br /> the ramp designs. <br /> * The plans are being reviewed by a Professor of Architecture at the University <br /> of Minnesota for structural and safety. <br /> * Masonite is being used since it is strong, durable and easily replaceable. It is <br /> projected that all masonite materials will be replaced on an annual basis. <br /> * The Parks proposed location would make use of existing parking facilities <br /> and lighting capabilities while keeping the practitioners of the sports in one <br /> location. <br /> * The location provides excellent accessibility for Burnsville residents. <br /> * A design that is able to accommodate 40 -50 participants at any one time. <br /> * The following security and safety considerations are part of the design: <br /> 1. The proposed area will be enclosed with an eight foot security fence. <br /> 2. The design allows personnel to easily inspect and repair the Park. <br /> 3. All ramps will be designed to accepted standards of the sport. <br /> Burnsville Skate Park Proposal Page 4 <br />
