The amount totals $2 , 656. 00. Staff suggests that the Park and Recreation Commission begin to discuss this item now so that when spring arrives, the security lighting improvements can be installed. Staff has surveyed each park ' s lighting needs. Security lighting and activity lighting are two different items and should be defined for discussion. Security lighting is lighting which is used during dark hours , usually on a photo cell electrical timer. The purpose of this lighting is for the safety of the park facilities from vandals and the safety of users. Curfew for park use is 10 :00 p.m. During the summer evenings darkness is approaching at 10 : 00 p.m. and activities have concluded. The lastest softball games are scheduled to begin at 7 : 30 p.m. and rarely extend past 9 : 00 p.m. During the skating season, the rinks close at 9 : 00 p.m. on school nights and 10 : 00 p.m. on non-school • nights. This is the latest that scheduled activities are held at the parks. During this dark time, activity lights are on from 4 : 00 - 10 : 00 p.m. Activity lights are designed to provide light for night-time recreational activity. This light needs to be bright enough to provide adequate vision for safe play. Typically, activity lighting is an option to extend daytime play opportunity into dark hours thus providing more hours of playing time. Common lighted activity facilities include tennis courts, softball and baseball fields, football and soccer fields, volleyball courts, and hockey and skating rinks. The lighted activity facilities in the City of Mounds View parks are the hockey and skating rinks and tennis courts. The hockey rinks are sufficiently lighted except that the lights are old and energy deficient (except for Hillview, which are new and cost effective ) . The tennis courts at Groveland and Greenfield are well lit. The skating rinks that need improved lighting are : Lambert and Woodcrest Parks. Lambert pleasure skating rink lies on the softball infield. Lights are directed from the hockey rink poles to the rink. However, they are too far away to be very effective. The parking lot light is a very costly fixture and the pole which it is mounted to is too short • for effective lighting. -2- One option is to put a pole and fixture behind the backstop and another near the northeast corner of the tot lot. These fixtures need to be on tall poles to reach the far side of the pleasure rink. • The dark spots are in the eastern and southern ice areas. These areas lie in the middle of the softball field and for this reason light must be directed to it from poles on the western side. Woodcrest Park pleasure rink has the greatest need for lights. The only light source is two fixtures , one on each west hockey rink light pole. These two fixtures barely cover one-fourth of the total pleasure rink. The central and western area of the rink is very dark. At a minimum, two more poles with fixtures are needed to sufficiently light the Woodcrest pleasure rink. Security Lighting. Please refer to my memo from last meeting. Residents that attended the Park Security meeting did not feel a need for security lighting at Silver View Park. This surprised me. They felt that security lighting would attract users after curfew and may contuse the wild animals and fowl. Statf wishes to discuss the Park and Recreation Commission ' s desires for security lighting. Perhaps a standard could be established. The goal of the 1989 security lighting budget could be achievement of that standard. Staff suggests that Commissioners tour each park during the dark hours to see firsthand the needs for security lighting. • MS/SL • MEMO TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY 11/ DATE: OCTOBER 3, 1988 SUBJECT: HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY/USABILITY IN THE PARK There is a definite difference between accessibility and usability for handicapped persons. Accessibility simply means that persons with walking impairments or those in wheelchairs can enter the park and get from place to place. Usability is a much broader concept that provides the opportunity for many persons having different handicaps to participate in park activities using park facilities. Handicaps may include persons who are blind, deaf, walking impaired (using aides) or wheelchair users. While park accessibility is desireable and is mandated for new development regarding public facilities, it is not sufficient. Persons with handicaps must be given the opportunity to participate in recreational endeavors. In order to provide this opportunity, parks must not only be handicapped accessible but also usable. In early June , I toured the parks with two colleages, Bob Szyman, Director of Sports and Recreation at Courage Center, and Sue Henricks, Sports and Recreation Assistant at the Courage Center. Sue toured Mounds View parks in her wheelchair and pointed out several facilities which she could or could not use and suggested improvements. Here is a list of needs which were noted that day: Priority #1 Handicapped Water Fountains - Most wheelchair users have kidney dysfunction and require more water replenishment than others. Water accessibility is a must. Priority 412 Easily maneuverable pathways - Wheelchair or walking impaired need access to areas by means of passageways. Asphalt or concrete are best but hard surface ag-lime or dirt are negotiable. Woodchips, sand, rock or pea gravel are almost impossible to access. Priority #3 Entrances to facilities must be barrier-free - This includes entrances to tennis courts, into tot lot areas, buildings, picnic shelters, etc. Care must be taken to allow adequate space for wheelchair passage through fence gates; tennis courts for instance. Priority #4 Access to portable restrooms- The larger handicapped accessible portable restrooms must be available. Priority #5 Parking lot - Parking lots must have handicapped parking areas according to code and must also have curb cuts. Priority #6 Usable play equipment - Suggestions for play equipment are: • - Hand swings. - Raised sandbox. - Monkey bars reachable by persons in wheelchairs. - Rails leading from one play piece to the other for blind users. - No boundary timbers for walking impaired. - Boardwalks for easy passage to and from play pieces. -2- Priority #7 Plan handicapped usable participant facilities - Suggestions: - Archery range. - Bocce ball. - Fishing/nature observation deck. - Picnicking. - Wheelchair tennis/wheelchair basketball. - Walking pathways for wheelchairs/walking impaired. Priority #8 Signs (in Braille also) - All signs should also be written in Braille for the blind. Availability of these parks facilities for the handicapped would provide for participation opportunities. The question is how to develop a park system providing these facilities. There are two ways to implement this goal. One is to provide handicapped facilities in every park. The other opnis tthe firstck a optionwforrks thesedreasons: make them handicapped usable. I do not suggest 1. Most Mounds View parks are already developed. To go back and re-do the parks to provide handicapped useability would be very expensive. 2. Most neighborhood parks do not offer activity facilities which attract handicapped participation, i.e. : skating rinks , ball diamonds, sand lot play areas. 3. Neighborhood parks do not offer asphalt parking lots pathways manueverable by wheelchairs. 401 I do recommend the second option to develop three handicapped accessible/ usable parks. The three designated handicapped accessible/usable parks recommended are City Hall, Silver View and Greenfield Parks. Here are reasons for this recommendation: 1. Silver View Park is just being developed now and new facilities can be constructed to provide for the needs of handicapped users. 2. All three parks have asphalt parking lots, designated handicapped parking and curb cuts. 3. Greenfield Park has a trailway accessible by wheelchairs. Silver View has plans for an asphalt pathway in the park connecting activity sites. The Silver View master plan offers many activity sites for handicapped participation. 4. The three parks offer a southwest, central and northeast location, evenly distributed in the city and easily accessible. 5. The city could provide numerous excellent recreational opportunities in fewer parks, while redevelopment of neighborhood parks would probably result in a piece-meal offering of single recreation opportunities per park. III ' -3- • Here is an inventory of handicapped accessible/usable facilities in the parks: LAMBERT The building is wheelchair accessible but manueverable passageway to the building is missing. OAKWOOD No accessibility/usability. WOODCREST The building is wheelchair accessible/usable but an adequate passageway to get to the building is not present. GROVELAND The building is accessible and the hard grass surface is passable for wheelchairs. HILLVIEW The building will be accessible and the grass will be manueverable. CITY HALL The City Hall is accessible for wheelchairs. Handicapped parking and curb cuts are available. Portable handicapped restrooms are offered. GREENFIELD The parking lot, pathways and hard court surface play area offer handicapped accessibility. SILVER VIEW The parking lot and curb cuts, handicapped portable restroom, and hard court surface play area offer handicapped accessibility. Staff suggests that through discussion, an option can be decided regarding the implementation of handicapped facilities in the parks. Once this decision is made, the Parks and Recreation Commission can determine a list of facilities, as suggested by Bob Szyman and Sue Henricks, which should be developed to provide for handicapped persons accessibility and usership. Once this is established, the plan can be implemented as resources become available. Come with your thoughts regarding the provision of park facilities for handicapped users.

AGES Play structures should accommodate children between the ages of two and fourteen. A structure should consist of areas having components which are geared to various age groups and ability levels. PATHYWAY SYSTEM At least one asphalt path must be provided, leading to the playstructure. The path must be a minimum of 4' wide, should not exceed 1:20 slope and must not be located under any play equipment. POINT(S) OF ACCESS • Provide at least one accessible point of access onto structure via ramp(s) or platforms. Ramp: at the accessible point should be no steeper than 1:20 grade, and must be at least 36" wide. Handrails must be provided on both sides of ramp (as specified below). Platforms: there should be no more than one foot intervals between platforms which are used to gain access to the structure from the ground. (Steps may be substituted for platforms if they are at least two feet deep from front to back and as wide as the platforms.) Intervals between the platforms, at heights over five feet, can be greater than one foot. Provide a gradual transition from low-positioned platforms to high-positioned platforms, building to possible heights of ten feet. A variety of components should be accessible by way of these platforms systems. HANDRAILS Handrails must be placed at the standard height and also one-half that height on all open sided platforms, ramps, and bridges, etc. , which are four feet or higher. Handrails must be 1 1/2" in diameter. Open or closed • wood walls, vertical metal bars, or curved hand-hold bars are acceptable alternatives to handrails. (over) PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Page two • GROUND-LEVEL PLAY AREAS Partially enclose a minimum of two areas underneath platforms and equipment to provide play space for children who are unable to climb. Install plastic bubbles, tires, steering wheels, etc. , in these areas to provide play opportunities at ground level. SLIDES Open slides which are at least six feet from the ground must have a slide tunnel attachment which forces the user to sit down to begin the slide. Double slides should be made available when possible (at least one per apparatus). Route to utilize double slide should be accessible (per ramp/platforms section listed above). SWINGS Swings should accomodate a variety of ages and ability levels. At least two swings located on or near the playstructure must be • accessible; i.e. therapeutic seat, tire swing, front-opening exer-glide. A desired combination would consist of belt swings, infant seats and tire swings. SURFACE A wheelchair accessible surface, which meets safety requirements, should be used instead of sand or peagravel. • (!--.,„"ApApos MI6 tt ;. r� . •SCHOOL COURTS............. 31 - - ' • I - ....52 a o 1.

The philosophy of encouraging park use seems to be negated by the presence of a locked entry gate. The perception of a locked entry gate defies the invitation for use by community members. A park entry gate may pose more problems than it solves. One problem is finding a consistent method of opening and closing the gate. Who will manage the gate? It is impractical to rely on the Police Department to perform this task since officers may be attending other duties The use of volunteers is possible, but the likelihood of a consistent follow-through considering illnesses , vacations and possible re-location is dim. An alternative would be the installation of an automatic , timed gate , but this is very costly. • Gates are not fool-proof. A gate blocks the entry, but also allows vehicles to pass on either side unless the whole park is fenced. This introduces a whole new issue which really defies the philosophy of open space parks. Entry gates may or may not curb cars entering parks in the evenings. Is the installation of gates worth connoting the perception that parks are on and off limits according to a daytime schedule? Will the gates provide an asset to the park? These are questions that need to be discussed at the meeting.
