Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter 10: Parks, Greenways & Trails 10-31 <br />Sunrise Park <br />Address: 6918 Sunrise Drive <br />Classification: Community Park <br />Size: 20 acres <br />Description: The majority of the park site is developed for active athletic recreation, including ballfields, soccer, hockey, etc. There are a few <br />natural areas on the eastern end of the park between the park and residential lots. The playground was installed in 1998 and is tucked among <br />some trees in the middle of the park along the eastern edge� The park has many amenities but they are scattered with two separate park entrances <br />that don’t connect and an informal gravel area for parking on the south. Some amenities lack best orientation and ballfield outfields are touching <br />one another� Existing development includes: <br />• Playground with pea gravel <br />• Bituminous trails <br />• Paved parking lots <br />• Gravel parking area <br />• Two hockey rinks and general skating area <br />• Warming house <br />• Four ball fields <br />• Tow picnic shelters <br />• Open lawn / soccer field <br />• Park storage buildings (1975) <br />Development Considerations: A master plan should be prepared for this park prior to any new development to reconsider how activity <br />areas are organized for a better fit and orientation and to determine which sports fields should remain on this site or be moved to improve overall <br />quality� As it is, the park offers many values to the local neighborhood and larger community and some redesign may enhance space utilization <br />with better pedestrian and vehicular circulation and better amenities overall� Suggested improvements include: <br />• Improved parking (reorganization) <br />• New hockey rinks (new orientation) and possibly pave for summer use <br />• New playground equipment <br />• Loop trail system <br />• Potentially add in some hardcourts (basketball, pickleball, etc�) <br />• New park building potentially with concessions <br />Cost Estimates <br />Until a master plan determines the extent of improvements and the types of amenities that should be included, preliminary costs cannot be <br />estimated. A full park reconstruction project could be in the range of up to $3.5 million depending on the desired amenities and buildings.
