-2- <br /> 3 . A large drainage ditch lies in Woodcrest Park , which is located <br /> on Silver Lake Road . This drainage ditch, because it lies along • <br /> Silver Lake Road, is a Ramsey County ditch . It is a safety <br /> hazard and ugly scar located in Woodcrest Park. It is my <br /> request that the reconstruction of Silver Lake Road and the <br /> rectification of this drainage ditch (consistent with the <br /> City ' s wetlands guidelines ) be a priority. The reconstruction <br /> of Silver Lake Road and drainage ditch would enhance Woodcrest <br /> Park and would provide an opportunity to designate a bikeway <br /> which would connect onto the New Brighton bikeway corridor <br /> along Silver Lake Road . <br /> 4 . In the past, Ramsey County was asked to take over Lakeside Park <br /> Beach . Because the park lies on the Ramsey County/Anoka County <br /> border, Ramsey County denied the request. Lakeside Park Beach <br /> is the type of facility Ramsey County typically funds and <br /> administers (for example : Turtle Lake Beach, Snail Lake Beach <br /> and Island Lake Park facilities ) . I would still like to see <br /> Ramsey County support the facility with minimum funding of <br /> $10 , 000 each year. The City could continue to administer the <br /> beach if Ramsey County does not opt to do so. <br /> 5 . Consider the purchase of property located in Mounds View <br /> for development of a recreational facility . Examples of a <br /> facility are : <br /> A. Outdoor swimming pool facility, similar to the pool at <br /> Shakopee which is a manmade sand bottom pool with filtered • <br /> water and waterslide . It offers sunbathing, swimming , <br /> watersliding and diving . <br /> B. Indoor tennis facility . . . perhaps a bubble facility for <br /> year-round tennis . <br /> C. Indoor soccer facility . . . perhaps a bubble facility for <br /> year-round soccer. <br /> D. Indoor hockey arena. <br /> Thank you for your interest in the needs and interests of Mounds <br /> View Parks and Recreation. I hope that the lack of Ramsey County <br /> participation in the City of Mounds View is identified and that <br /> future plans will include Ramsey County parks and recreation <br /> facilities within the City of Mounds View. <br /> Sincerely,y <br /> Mary Saarion, Director <br /> Parks , Recreation and Forestry <br /> MS/sl <br /> • <br />
