Introduction <br />The City of Lake Elmo is seeking professional services to prepare a long-range plan for <br />developing Lions Park as Lake Elmo's destination community park. The plan's goal  <br />should be to maximize the park's functionality as a community gathering place for larger  <br />events and strengthen its connection to downtown. The Plan will help guide staff,  <br />appointed and elected officials in future improvements for the park. The consultant will  <br />work closely with City Staff, and stakeholders in preparing a plan that consists of two  <br />separate concepts that would be shared and presented to the community.   <br />II. Project Background <br />The park was last reconstructed in 2016 and included improvements such as an <br />upgraded ballfield, conversion of former tennis courts into a dual-purpose ice rink for <br />winter use and pickleball courts for summer use, installation of two sand volleyball <br />courts, and the addition of a concrete border surrounding the playground <br />area. In addition, a gravel parking lot was constructed to add additional parking  <br />spaces and city water and sewer were connected. In the spring of 2026, the playground  <br />was updated with more modern playset for park users. <br />III.
