City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> n August 3, 1998 <br /> Pam asked when the new playground equipment will be installed at <br /> Rice Lakes Estates Park. Rick stated it will be installed in <br /> late October, 1998 . <br /> Paul asked about the soccer field being re-seeded and storm <br /> damage. Rick explained that the field will be in better shape <br /> next year due to the re-seeding. All storm damage had been <br /> repaired except for the split rail fence at Woods of Baldwin Park <br /> and the roof of the picnic shelter #2 at Sunrise Park. <br /> Paul suggested signage be used for the continuation of the trail <br /> where Birch Street ends . He stated that a sign indicating <br /> "trail" and a "T' would also be helpful at the intersection of <br /> Fawn Lane and Country Lakes Drive. <br /> Chair Lindy stated that all the signage there needs to be <br /> evaluated. Not much verbiage is needed on the sign, possibly <br /> just a picture. <br /> Rick indicated he would pursue the use of signage for the <br /> continuation of the Birch Street trail . <br /> Removal of Shenandoah Park Backstop - Rick explained that the <br /> Park Department has been looking at alternatives for the existing <br /> ballfield at Shenandoah Park. Due to the existing soil <br /> conditions it would be cost prohibitive to upgrade this ballfield <br /> to adequate standards . Rick recommended removal of the backstop <br /> and benches at Shenandoah Park. He suggested the equipment could <br /> be used at another park, such as Sunrise Field #4 . <br /> Rick noted the new playground equipment at Shenandoah Park will <br /> be located where the skating rink was located. This will <br /> maximize the amount of open play area. <br /> Paul asked if a backstop is needed for Sunrise Field #4 . Rick <br /> indicated there are a number of backstops within the City that <br /> have safety concerns . Sunrise Field #4 is one of them. <br /> Paul suggested drain tiles be used to make the field more <br /> useable. Rick stated it is cost prohibitive to do what is <br /> necessary to make the field useable. <br /> Joe asked about the possibility of moving the ball area to the <br /> south west corner of the park. Rick indicated that possibility <br /> can be looked at in the future. There is not enough space for an <br /> organized sports field. A small backstop can be placed there for <br /> unorganized play. A small backstop would eliminate balls from <br /> going into residents yards. <br /> n <br /> 6 <br />
