Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter 10: Parks, Greenways & Trails 10-11 The plan identifies 11 future neighborhood park search areas (labeled A – N on Figure 10-1 Parks, Greenways and Trail Systems Map). The following list describes each area where a new neighborhood park could be developed, if residential densities create the need. • Neighborhood Park Area A – serves the south-central part of the city, in conjunction with Birchwood Acres Park and Neighborhood Park Area B. The linear trail system linking these parks together and to the neighborhoods is critical to meeting local park needs. Locating the park adjacent to the adjoining protected area would enhance its aesthetic appeal and open space value. • Neighborhood Park Area B – serves the south-central area of the city, in conjunction with Birch Park, Brandywood Park, and Neighborhood Park Areas A and C. Locating the park adjacent to the adjoining protected area and water body would enhance its aesthetic appeal and open space value. • Neighborhood Park Area C – serves the south-central area of the city, in conjunction with Brandywood Park and Neighborhood Park Area B. Lacking any significant natural area feature, the final location of this park depends on how it fits into the development plan and ties in with the trail corridor. Creating a compelling aesthetic character will be a key challenge. • Neighborhood Park Areas D – serves the southeast area of the city, in conjunction with Brandywood and NorthPointe Parks and should take into consideration the potential development of the recreational complex facility in close proximity. Connecting the park to the linear trail corridor remains important to its success and amenities should be complementary. • Neighborhood Park Area E – this site serves an isolated area on the edge of Centerville. If possible, site E should be integrated into a greenway- based linear trail coming out of Centerville and connecting to the potential future recreation complex facility. There is also the potential to work jointly with Centerville on parks in this area, thus avoiding some duplication. • Neighborhood Park Area F – this site serves the central to north eastern side of Lino Lakes in conjunction with Park G. If possible, site F should be integrated along a greenway-based trail and depending on final development plans, could be developed on an existing upland area around the Northeast Area drainage outlet. • Neighborhood Park Area G – Watermark Park development; this park is intended to serve the low density mixed residential area east of 20th Avenue and north of Main Street. A master plan has been developed for the future implementation of this proposed park.
