Existing development at Hillview consists oF a tot lot, hockey rink with lighting, ball field and ehelter building. The preaent drainaga problem at Hillview is [wofold, first the Eastern half of Che park is low ].and and there is a real problem with standing water. Secondly we have found after making a temporary dzainage swail that there really is no place for the water to go as [he pipe along Hillviea is presently not adequate to handle the additional runoff. Lakeside Park - 11.0 acres - developed Lakeaide Park is a joint venture betwee� Spring Lake Park and hbunds View and is located at the intersection of Hillview Road and Pleasant VSew Drive. The park presen[ly is developed with 2 ball fields, 2 tennis coutts, a swimming beach, beach house, black top parking lot� tot lot and trailway system. There presently is no major water pzoblem at Lakeside Park in spite of the tiao large impervious surface areas. Lambert Park - 3.2 acres - developed Lnmbert Park is :ocated at the corner of Lambert Avenue and Jackson Drive. Lambert Park presently has a ligh[ed hockey rink, a ball field and park shel'r.er building. � Lambert Park presently has one of our most serious water problems at this t.i�. We have standing water each apring in right field of the ball field and south of the existing park shelter building. In addition the etozm sewer pipe r�ms in a north-south direction through the west end of the pack. Th1s storm sewer presently creates a maintenance hazard for mowing as well as an aesthetic problem. The pipe has been placed too shallow and has frozen up in the past as well as filling up witti sand making it a continual maintenance problem. Oakwood Park - 2.4 acres - developed Oakwood Park is located at die intersection of Oakwood Drive and Quincy Stree[. The present facilities .Lnclude one ball field, some old pluyground equipment and a shelter building. 11�ere presently is standing watec each year at Oakwood on [he north edge, �p but that is because oF a grading problem rather than an inadequate atorm sewer system.
