October 29, 2020 <br />Page 3 <br />Landscape Appeal <br />• Natural or more manicured <br />1. Blend of both — have areas of focused planting areas while the <br />playground space can become blended with the landscape <br />• Determine the maintenance necessary of each <br />• Where is shade important <br />1. natural shade throughout entire park and blending in with the <br />surroundings is important <br />2. What is shown in master plan looks good- but make sure there is <br />an adequate amount in the playground area <br />e. Active Recreation <br />• What should be in the community sports pad <br />1. Tennis is lacking in community, still demand <br />2. Pickleball would be appropriate. 2 at Arcand but already desire <br />higher quality courts, have dedicated use, not over top of tennis <br />3. Basketball is well used <br />4. Possibly futsal — depends if there will be funding and space/fit <br />with park (min. 82' x 49'; max. 138 x 82') <br />5. An area for flexible space <br />6. No dedicated lawn games (keep informal) <br />• Skate Park: consider moving up by sports pad where more active <br />recreation is located and visible along a more used route <br />• General skating? Maintenance and condition? <br />1. No skating — many kids currently skate on ponds in their <br />neighborhoods & it is difficult to keep the ice frozen and in good <br />condition <br />2. Rink would be tough on turf <br />3. Hugo Elementary has a rink and is adding another for pleasure <br />skating <br />4. Hanifl building is designed to accommodate warming house so <br />that may be a better location <br />• Open lawn spaces or developed ballfield? <br />1. Remove NE ballfield <br />2. Have backstop with grass infield for SW ballfield <br />3. City is pushing to get more developed (T-Ball) fields located at <br />new elementary school (discuss with White Bear Lake LL) <br />4. Keep as much open/flexible lawn space as possible <br />• If developed, what level of programming and what are the impacts? <br />1. No programming —just for pick-up games <br />• Winter Activities <br />1. Walking, keep snow off. Are heated coils an option or too spendy <br />with different maintenance and replacement costs? <br />2. Fire pits <br />3. Building activities <br />Park / Community Events <br />• What activities could happen here? What events are desired? <br />1. Monthly Music & Movies in the park <br />2. Good Neighbor Days <br />3. Tour de Hugo <br />4. Larger Holiday events <br />K:\016969-000\Admin\Meeting\Steering Committee\Site\016969_2020-1029_Kick-off Meeting Site Minutes.docx <br />
