Discuss the Parks Tour – Greenfield and City Hall Park. <br />Greenfield Park: Playground: Playground is in overall good shape. A few maintenance items include <br />fixing mat under woodchips at the merry-go-round and checking for cracked equipment and bolts. <br />Need some tree removal near swings and tennis courts. Look at any options for creating dugouts <br />and perhaps moving or adding to the bleachers to accommodate visibility to first base line. Tree ash <br />trees near ball field for now. Maybe plant new trees that will take over eventually when ash trees <br />need to be removed. Consider adding a couple of grills near ball field. Repair trailway around ball <br />field. Look at what to do in stages. <br /> <br />City Hall Park: Splash Pad and Playground beginning construction in June. T-ball field moving <br />north. Consider tree removal for a few dead/dying trees. What to do with the old playground space? <br />Possible basketball court? Where to put a Veterans’ Memorial? Near Mounds View Blvd, east of VB <br />courts, or old playground site? Could remove VB courts and have only at Silverview, but they are <br />being used regularly. One shelter missing a picnic table. Band shell opportunity somewhere? <br />Create a trailway from MV Blvd and City Hall trailways. <br /> <br />Get these long-term items in the Park Improvement Plan. <br />B. Arbor Day / Earth Day Celebration Plans: Planting trees on? looking for dates? Staff will pick a date <br />and email to Commissioners. <br />
