-4- 1990 • 1. Silver View bridge. This was ranked high due to the need for a complete trail around the Silver View Park pond . In addi- tion to completing the trail loop, it would also allow access from the residents in the Mary Anderson single family homes to the developed park area on the north side . The bridge would also serve a functional purpoase as a fishing pier when the pond is stocked by the DNR. 2. Silver View tot lot. As Silver View Park is the major com- munity park within the City, we feel that some type of major tot lot equipment should be installed to complete the devel- opment of facilities for all age groups. We currently do not have any creative play area for the young people at Silver View Park and it would be ideal due to the athletic use, family hikes and walking that occurs throughout the site. 3. Random Park multi-purpose court. The multi-purpose court at Random Park would be located in the southern half of the park and would complete the development of Random Park. As you are aware, staff installed a new play structure three years ago at Random Park along with regrading the site . By installing a multi-purpose court, we would be able to increase the use of that site in a heavy residential area. 4. Woodcrest multi-purpose court. This would provide our thin. multi-purpose court within the City and serve the southwest • corner of the City. It is our goal to have seven multi-pur- pose courts located throughout each of the City parks which would still be twenty-two short of the national standards of having one multi-purpose court per 500 people . The Mounds View City Parks and Open Space Plan recommended nine, and with the seven proposed, we feel we could meet the needs within the City park system. 5. 72 inch rotary lawn mower. Two 72 inch rotary lawn mowers were purchased in 1985 and it is staff 's recommendation that one of the mowers be replaced every five years and $18,000 has been budgeted to replace one of the two new mowing units. 1991 1 . Greenfield Park archery range. This project was listed as a high priority in the Citywide parks and open space plan. We have an ideal location in the northwest corner of Green- field Park. This proposed project will include the develop- ment of four archery butts as well as a security fence around the entire area. 2. Lights at Silver View Park. This is a major capital improve- ment which would serve the adult softball fields at Silver View Park which is currently the largest recreation program within the City. With the addition of lights at Silver View, we would not need to add additional ballf_ ields within the City. In addition, we would be able to have evening play for both youth soccer and football at Silver View Park.
