3 <br />Diamond Point Park <br />Upgrades <br />The Parks Commission has authorized improvements to Diamond <br />Point Park (6355 145th St N) in 2024. Residents were invited to a <br />neighborhood meeting and participated in the selection of a new <br />playground design. Four playground designers presented, and the <br />selected playground was designed by St. Croix Recreation. The <br />design of the playground can be seen in the attached rendering, <br />but the colors chosen have a river/forest color scheme with blues, <br />greens, and earth tones. Construction of the new playground <br />should be completed mid-September. <br />Residents also voted to replace the sand volleyball court with a pick- <br />leball court, adding a 5th pickleball court to the Hugo parks sys- <br />tem. Planned improvements also include trail repairs, landscaping <br />improvements, and basketball court improvements. Stay tuned to <br />the City Website for updates on Diamond Point Park construction. <br />Glacial Hills <br />Regional Trail <br />Washington County is leading a process <br />to plan the Glacial Hills Regional Trail. The <br />long-range plan will provide the vision <br />and guide future development of an <br />east-west multi-use trail through northern <br />Washington County. The future trail will con- <br />nect key destinations, including: Downtown <br />Hugo, Hardwood Creek Regional Trail, Big <br />Marine Park Reserve, Downtown Marine on <br />St Croix, and William O’Brien State Park. <br />Informed by stakeholder input and analysis <br />of the corridor, the county has drafted a <br />recommended alignment. The long range <br />plan will also include guidance on way- <br />finding, trail amenities, and overall manage- <br />ment. Once approved, this will set the stage <br />for future project steps (i.e. preliminary <br />design, funding and acquisition, final <br />design) necessary for implementation of <br />a trail. <br />More information can be found on the <br />county’s website at: <br />washingtoncountymn.gov/GlacialHills <br />DRAFT: 07/23/24 <br />Glacial Hills Regional Trail - Route Recommendation <br />Long Term <br />Alignment <br />Alternate <br />Alignment <br />HUGO <br />Big Marine Park ReserveHighway 61Highway 61County Road 4/170th St <br />County Road 4/ <br />Ostrum Trl <br />County Road <br /> 15/Manning AveCounty Road 15/Manning AveHighway 95/St. Croix <br /> TrlHighway 95/St. Croix TrlWilliam O’BrienState Park <br />MARINEON ST.CROIX <br />County Ro <br />a <br />d <br /> <br />8 <br />/ <br />Frenchma <br />n <br /> <br />R <br />d <br />Long Term Alignment <br />Alternate Alignment <br />Parkland <br />Water Feature <br />Wetland <br />Ecologically Significant Area <br />DRAFT: 07/23/24 <br />Glacial Hills Regional Trail - Route Recommendation <br />Long Term <br />Alignment <br />Alternate <br />Alignment <br />HUGO <br />Big Marine Park ReserveHighway 61Highway 61County Road 4/170th St <br />County Road 4/ <br />Ostrum Trl <br />County Road <br /> 15/Manning AveCounty Road 15/Manning AveHighway 95/St. Croix <br /> TrlHighway 95/St. Croix TrlWilliam O’BrienState Park <br />MARINEON ST.CROIX <br />County Ro <br />a <br />d <br /> <br />8 <br />/ <br />Frenchma <br />n <br /> <br />R <br />d <br />Long Term Alignment <br />Alternate Alignment <br />Parkland <br />Water Feature <br />Wetland <br />Ecologically Significant Area <br />New Playground Design <br />Anticipated opening mid-September. <br />Colors shown do not reflect <br />the playground colors. <br />Former Playground <br />Removed August 2024 <br />PARKS &RECREATION
