1 <br />2026 Parks Commission Strategic Work Plan <br />The City of Lake Elmo Park Commission has affirmed their overall goals to be: <br />1) Ensure that our parks and trail system are constructed / maintained. <br />2) Provide recreational amenities that will attract more users of public lands as well as property taxpayers to the <br />City. <br />3) Create a safe environment in all our parks. <br />4) Serve as a reviewing body to make sure the “open space” character development is preserved in new <br />developments. <br />With the broader priorities defined, the 2026 Park Commission Strategic Work Plan has been broken down into <br />three segments: Project and Description; Maintenance & Refurbishing and other Park Initiatives. <br />Status and Timeline (projected months in which project will be brought to Parks Commission meeting) are also <br />indicated in order to better manage goals and objectives. <br />Priority Levels are determined on a 1-5 scale with 1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest. This will <br />serve as a guide to what tasks serve as a higher priority to staff and work allocation. <br />Key <br />Status C – Complete <br />IP – In Progress <br />PL Priority Level (1-5 with 1 being the highest priority) <br />Planning / Project and Development PL Status <br />Planning and Policy <br />Review Washington County Central Greenway Trail Plan and <br />other County CIP projects near Lake Elmo <br />1 Feb <br />Review future Neighborhood playground replacement and <br />schedule priority <br />1 IP <br />Pave dog park parking lot and trails 2 IP <br />Lions Park Playground Equipment Replacement 2 IP <br />Court resurfacing in Demontreville, Carriage and Tablyn 2 IP <br />Select location and installation for Park Pavillion 2 IP <br />Ridge Park playground replacement 2 IP
