Additional/upgraded baseball facilities are desired for game play <br />2. More trails and greater connectivity are highly desired by the <br />community <br />3. The southeastern-most portion of Lake Elmo has the most limited <br />access to parks. <br />4. More access to winter recreation options are desired (plowed <br />trails, rinks, etc.) <br />5. Generally, park acreage and distribution are good. <br />6. Getting to parks can be challenging (connectivity, wayfinding, <br />information, etc.) <br />7. Updating of play equipment would improve user experience <br />200
