Community Facilities Inventory and Future Needs Figure 9 -1 identifies the various public facilities in Lino Lakes, including municipal facilities, parks, trails, schools and historic sites. Civic Complex The City of Lino Lakes built its civic complex on publicly owned land near Lake Drive and I -35W to help drive the development of a new mixed use downtown area. The Civic Complex, completed in 1999, houses our City Council Chambers and various departments including Administration, Finance, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Public Safety.
