It is used by the neighborhood for lake weed dumping. Park dedica- <br />tion for the Preserve on Sunset Lake expanded the city -owned property to 1.8 <br />acres. During the development approvals, residents asked about improvements <br />to the city -owned property. During the 2040 Comprehensive Pan process, the <br />Commission heard that additional water access was needed in Hugo. The Parks <br />Commission included planning the park on their 2019 goals. A neighborhood <br />meeting was held on September 18. Two concept plans were presented illustrat- <br />ing improvements including small parking lot, walk-in kayak access, fishing pier, <br />picnic shelter, and walking paths, etc. In general, the neighborhood was not in <br />favor of making improvements to the property that would encourage public use. <br />The Parks Commission will evaluate their concerns over excessive fishing and <br />traffic in the neighborhood. <br />Continuing for the third year with <br />neighborhood park improvements, the <br />Parks Commission allocated $40,000 <br />in their CIP. Summer projects were <br />identified after spring inspections and <br />discussed at the May 15 meeting. <br />The largest project was the full <br />removal of the degraded soft surfac- <br />ing at Oneka Lake Park. It was a <br />week-long project to replace the wood <br />chip surfacing. The rubber soft sur- <br />facing was repaired in 2018. <br />Other projects included repairing and <br />replacing basketball hoops at Arbre <br />and Oak Shore Parks. Playground <br />soft surfacing was freshened at Frog <br />Hollow, Heritage Ponds and Oak <br />Shore Parks. <br />
