III <br /> MEMO TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSIONERS <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> DATE: APRIL 19 , 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: REVENUE FACILITY AT LAKESIDE PARK <br /> Jay McCluskey, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of <br /> Spring Lake Park and I have been brainstorming the idea of a <br /> waterslide at Lakeside Park. We have met with Bob Kline from <br /> Miracle Equipment, a supplier of waterslides for the state of <br /> Minnesota and Wisconsin. Outdoor waterslides have been installed <br /> at many communities including Crystal, Richfield, Edina, <br /> Shakopee, Winona, and other out-state communities. The reason <br /> these communities installed waterslides is for additional user <br /> traffic, expanded recreational activity and revenue resource. I <br /> recently attended an Aquatic Revenue Resource Institute which <br /> outlined the benefits of a waterslide to existing water <br /> facilities. <br /> Jay and I are well aware that neither City has money to fund such <br /> a capital item. However, we also know that many communities have <br /> • <br /> raised donations to fund such a community asset. I wish to share <br /> with you our ideas for raising funding - to set a goal - and <br /> begin. I need to know whether or not you are interested in <br /> pursuing a fund raising campaign for such a project. <br />
