BRAUER & AssOCIATEs, LTD. <br />Lions Park Master Plan Project <br />City of Hugo, MN <br />August 8, 2012 <br />Concept Review Meeting Summary <br />Overview: The preliminary concept review open house meeting for the Lions Park planning process was <br />attended by approximately 10 people. The goal of the meeting was to determine the amenities desired <br />and the preferred arrangements of the various features. There was good discussion among the participants <br />with most of the audience contributing to the conversation. Overall, Concept #3 was preferred which <br />focuses on an organic shape and having one large building that supports kitchen, restrooms, storage, <br />picnicking cover, etc. It also allows for a large open space for informal ball games or events. Some of the <br />main topics covered at the meeting included: <br />I. Main Park Building <br />1. One main park building should be included that has enough space to accommodate a kitchen, <br />restrooms, Lions storage and has covered space for summer picnic use and winter skating. <br />2. Further exploration into size requirements will be made along with researching manufactured <br />buildings that could be modified for these requirements. <br />3. The building location works well with future development to the west - building could serve <br />both users. <br />11. Neighborhood Recreation Area <br />1. The neighborhood active recreation area should also include hardcourt space for 1/2 court <br />basketball. This could be placed adjacent to the skate park area as these two activities usually <br />relate to older kids. <br />2. The skate park should be located in a highly -visible area of the park. <br />3. A backstop should be included within the open lawn space. However, a defined ball field <br />should not be included. <br />701 Xenia Avenue South, Suite 300 <br />Minneapolis, MNS5416 <br />
