The parks in which we visited were: Lambert, Oakwood, Greenfield, Hillview, Groveland, Silverview, and Random. Darkness became an issue towards the end of the evening. • The following are some suggestions, or conversations noted: • Remove or replace the grills at Groveland • Repair fence at Hillview • Article in the Mounds View Matters regarding the new paths • Basketball court at Oakwood • Visit St. Anthony park system. They have revamped their parks. It may be a good idea to have a representative attend a P & R Commission meeting. • Graffiti/vandalism is an issue in parks • Replacement of park shelters with brick buildings • Park update and residential watch request in MV Matters • Addition of sideline fences at Lambert next We will continue discussion on the park visit and long range planning at our n e meeting.
