• Park Board Meeting - November 6, 2006 Minutes Circle Pines didn't treat Lino Lakes residents fairly. George said he felt the old equipment had been removed because of safety issues. Rick said $25,000 had been spent on new equipment with an additional $25,000 being spent on safety surfaces, concrete pads, and installation of the playground equipment. He went on to say that the City of Circle Pines will be making additional improvements to Baldwin Park in 2007 including a picnic shelter and new fencing for the baseball field. Future improvements include relocating the hockey rink and paving it so a basketball court could be used, trail improvements, and relocating the parking lot. Rick stated that the City of Circle Pines has fulfilled their obligations relating to the Rice Lake Estates Park situation. Other Park Board Members felt Circle Pines did a good job in reconstructing the park. 8c. Anoka County Trail Map: A map was included in the Park Board packets. Rick advised members that additional maps are available free of charge at City Hall. Members asked about the trail from Bunker Park to Lino Lakes and Fridley to Lino Lakes. Rick said the county had not put proposed trails on the map but they are being worked on. 8d. Super Rink Skating Pass: Rick told members that as part of the agreement with the City of Lino Lakes assisting the Centennial Youth Hockey Association (CYHA) in securing use of a skating facility at the National Sports Center, the City had received 216 free skating passes for use during "open skating" sessions at the Super Rink in Blaine. He stated that all the passes were given out. He said the passes were limited to one pass per family member. He went on to say that the schedule of "open skating" sessions at the Super Rink can be viewed at www.superrink.org. Mr. DeGardner also said that there had been a free "open skate" session on Saturday, November 4, from 1 - 3pm at the National Sports Center for all Lino Lakes residents. Park Board members thought the free skating passes were a great idea. One member had planned to attend the free skate on Saturday but didn't make it and was wondering if Rick had heard how the turnout was. Rick responded no.
