<br />Administration Department <br /> <br />Our mission is to be a progressive and welcoming <br />Village that is walkable, sustainable and safe <br />3301 Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony, MN 55418 612-782-3301 | www.savmn.com <br /> <br />TO: Mayor & Council <br />FROM: Mark Casey, City Manager <br />RE: Outdoor Recreation Facilities Usage <br />DATE: May 4, 2020 <br /> <br />Staff wishes to have a conversation with Council, regarding limiting the usage of our outdoor <br />recreation facilities during the pandemic, if needed. <br />The following signage: <br />“Help keep our community safe. <br />• AVOID GROUP ACTIVITIES <br />• AVOID PLAYGROUND STRUCTURES <br />• PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING“ <br /> <br />is posted on or around the following facilities: <br />• Tennis Courts <br />• Playgrounds <br />• Basketball Courts <br />• Skateboard Park <br />• Splash Pads <br />• Ball Fields <br />• Picnic shelters are owned by the City and scheduled through Community Services. <br />Presently, the bathroom connected to the picnic shelters are open. <br /> <br />Overall, we have received a minimal amount of complaints about the lack of social distancing <br />from the community. For the most part when our officers engage and educate, it ends up being <br />pretty benign, examples include two moms and six children on the playground or a dad and his <br />three sons shooting hoops. However, that could change with Minneapolis closing their park <br />amenities on May 1st. We will need to monitor the impact. <br /> <br />Attached is brief survey as of Tuesday, April 28, 2020 <br />
