<br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Parks Commission Minutes <br />February 21, 2024 <br />3. Diamond Point Park Upgrades <br /> <br />Denaway presented an update on the neighborhood park project for 2024 in Diamond Point Park. <br />Proposed improvements include removing and replacing the old playground equipment and surfacing, <br />minor asphalt and concrete removals, landscaping repairs, resurfacing the basketball court, and a <br />suggestion from some members of the neighborhood to replace the sand volleyball court with a <br />pickleball court. Denaway stated that the current Parks Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) allows for <br />$200,000 to fund the project. Current cost estimates include $100,000 ‐ $150,000 for the playground <br />replacement, $5,000 for benches, and unknown costs for the playground removal, asphalt court repair, <br />and trail repair. Current cost estimates for the pickleball court’s construction would total roughly <br />$56,000. <br />Commissioner Rauschendorfer, a resident of the Diamond Point development, commented that a few <br />people in the neighborhood have approached him regarding converting the volleyball court to a <br />pickleball court. Commissioner Tennyson commented that a pickleball court would be more utilized than <br />the current volleyball court. <br />Anderson commented that the basketball court only has one hoop, meaning that the full court‐sized <br />asphalt pad could be reduced, potentially reducing the cost of asphalt resurfacing. Commissioner <br />Tennyson asked if a second hoop could be installed rather than reduce the playing surface. <br />Without a formal motion, the Commissioners present agreed that adding a second basketball hoop, and <br />converting the volleyball court into a pickleball court, would be a course of action heavily favored in the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br />4. Bernin Park Construction and MnDNR Grant <br /> <br />Denaway presented an update on the planning for Bernin Park, as well as the construction happening <br />with the Shores of Oneka Lake Development to the north. The development is beginning construction of <br />its third phase, which includes the entirety of the planned trail along the western shore of the lake <br />connecting to Bernin Park. The development team has been constructing the trail much faster than <br />anticipated. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rauschendorfer asked how the lake shore trail in Bernin Park itself will cross the ditch <br />outlet on the north end of the property. Anderson responded that the trail will ideally swing to the west <br />of the outlet and avoid too much disturbance. <br /> <br />Denaway showed the draft construction plans with a disclaimer that Staff is already recommending <br />changes, including a sidewalk connection from the park trail to the cul‐de‐sac, giving walk‐in users easier <br />access. Current construction plans include an informational kiosk near the parking lot, a paved trail to <br />the fishing pier, a paved trail along the southerly portion of the park, along with several other trails <br />consisting of different types of surfacing. Staff has indicated that they are not in favor of the proposed <br />paved trail to the wetland area, as it would incur significant tree removal without as significant of a <br />destination. Staff is also recommending that the proposed boardwalk not be constructed as it incurs <br />significant costs. <br />
