Lake Elmo Parks System Plan 58 / 79 178 Converting them to sport focused activities. Building sport focused amenities (pickle ball/baseball/soccer/basketball) limits that space for those specific noninclusive activities compared to open spaces and walking trails. 1/8/2024 7:40 PM 179 Not enough baseball or softball fields 1/8/2024 7:34 PM 180 Not enough baseball fields 1/8/2024 7:26 PM 181 Not enough facilities for organized youth sports 1/8/202 4 7:03 PM 182 Maintenance of them. Lake Elmo has the MOST parks and no ability to maintain them. It's pointless to keep putting new parks in and not maintain the ones already here. 1/8/2024 6:27 PM 183 Overall quality of upkeep and grassy space is far inferior to many other cities.1/8/2024 4:10 PM 184 Shade shelter for pilot park 1/8/2024 3:21 PM 185 There are not walking/biking trails to get to them.1/8/2024 2:37 PM 186 Pedestrian crossings across the major arteries.1/6/2024 1:11 PM 187 Overreach without proper maintenance support.1/6/2024 8:38 AM 188 Buckthorn 1/6/2024 7:12 AM 189 Aside from the run/bike routes I've discussed plenty, it's the lack of a dog park and other legal off-leash spaces for them and families. 1/5/2024 8:35 PM 190 Accessible year round 1/5/2024 5:40 PM 191 They aren't connected to each other in a meaningful way.1/5/2024 3:57 PM 192 Lack of interconnecting Trails and Lack of Trail Maintenance 1/4/2024 6:38 AM 193 Need more biking and walking paths 1/3/2024 9:02 PM 194 Lack of trails to get to parks and connecting other parts of the city 1/3/2024 8:43 PM 195 Not enough ice rinks or ice fishing 1/3/2024 8:01 PM 196 No real concerns, but see #22 1/3/2024 7:37 PM 197 Plow the trails to make year fitness e asier 12/31/2023 7:44 PM 198 Connecting parks to local neighborhoods via a trail system 12/30/2023 8:37 AM 199 Unplowed, non-maintained paths 12/29/2023 7:17 PM 200 Invasive species 12/26/2023 12:57 AM 201 That you get the LOCAL neighborhood input before making a change. Even if another path is chosen, people need to be brought along on the journey. 12/22/2023 12:48 PM 202 Accessibility 12/21/2023 2:20 PM 203 Parks seem to have no plan. Inconsistent. Poor quality play equipment - not diverse. Most concerning, lack of accessibility and access (sidewalks, accessible equipment, accessible surfacing). Lake elmo is way behind surrounding communities. 12/19/2023 8:29 AM 204 1. Some feel out dated and not well used (Kleis). 2. Buckthorn invasions 12/18/2023 1:04 PM 205 Sometimes they are not tended to after a storm — exampl e, Reid Park last spring and late winter. 12/18/2023 12:59 AM 206 Lack of basketball courts; trails feel unconnected both from each other and other cities.12/17/2023 4:21 PM 207 Lack of accessibility by any thing other than a car….12/15/2023 10:36 PM 208 Trails to connect oarks 12/15/2023 6:43 PM 209 Over use 12/15/2023 6:09 PM 210 Trails leading to these parks aren’t cleared so on a sunny winter day we can’t ut ilize them. Upkeep of the parks! A place for dogs! 12/14/2023 3:49 PM 174
