On <br />March 20th The Public Works Director and Parks Foreman attended a skate park seminar. This <br />seminar was very informative and contained useful information on skate parks. Public Works will <br />be discussing skate parks at the next Parks and Recreation meeting on June 27, 2002. A skate <br />park equipment vendor will be giving a presentation and will be on hand to answer questions. <br />Informational hands out will be distributed along with various equipment and price listings. <br /> <br />Groveland Park is a good candidate for the location a skate park. Groveland Park has much of <br />the needed infrastructure currently in place: a double tennis court that is almost never used, <br />pavement, fencing, and the drinking and restroom facilities. Public Works met with adjacent <br />residential property owners to present this concept and get their input. <br /> <br />Should the Parks and Recreation commission determine that a skate park would be an amenity <br />and address the needs of the City, the next step would be to hold a neighborhood meeting to get <br />input from the citizens. If the neighborhood meeting reveals that there is support from the <br />community for a skate park, a plan will be developed and presented to Council for discussion. <br /> <br />XCEL ENERGY TREE TRIMMING <br />Xcel Energy will be in the Mounds View area for the next several weeks trimming trees.
