Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us <br />December 28, 2004 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Arena Acres Park Tennis Court Survey Results — Dec. 04 <br />Fifty nine surveys were sent to residents in the Arena Acres Park area. To date we have received <br />32 responses. Listed below are the results from these surveys and comments: <br />Do you or any members of your family play tennis at Arena Acres Park? <br />Yes 14 <br />No 16 <br />Not indicated 2 <br />Which of the following options do you and your family prefer? <br />18 Have the city continue to repair the tennis courts so residents can enjoy tennis at Arena <br />Acres Park. <br />12 Remove the tennis court and replace with a maintained turf area for informal play <br />(open space). <br />1 Other (Please explain) <br />1 Either option <br />Additional Comments: <br />While I don't play tennis, the tennis court area is used all summer long and in the spring and fall <br />evenings by many people, especially teens who ride bikes and/or drive to the courts. Without the <br />courts being there, they could be simply out on the streets with too much time on their hands. <br />I have only seen someone use the tennis courts once last summer. <br />If you remove it you should reduce our city taxes for maintenance. <br />The open grassy area would be a great area for the (older) neighborhood kids to play football and <br />soccer or other games. <br />Plant trees and make into a park with benches (open space). Keep playground. We have a lot of <br />birds, etc. <br />
