Lions Park Master Plan <br />Development Guidelines <br />Drafted November 3, 2011 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Lions Park is one of the most well known parks in the City of Hugo. It is currently <br />the location of Good Neighbor Days. The community festival is put on annually <br />by the Hugo Lions Club. The park is used throughout the warmer months for <br />family reunions, company picnics and other gatherings. <br />Repairs were made to the existing tennis courts and skate equipment was <br />installed in the summer of 2010. At that time, the City Council discussed <br />additional improvement and future development. It was decided that a master <br />plan should be put together to ensure that all future investments into <br />development at Lions Park build toward the public's long term vision of the park. <br />HISTORY OF LIONS PARK <br />Lions Park was the only public active recreation park in Hugo for many years. <br />There were once lit fields that attracted people from all over the metro to see <br />baseball games in Hugo.
