PARKS REPORT <br />New Equipment at Diamond Point Park <br />Diamond Point Park is Reconstructed <br />The 2024 neighborhood park reconstruction project was Diamond Point Park. It consisted of a playground replacement due <br />to the deterioration of the original equipment. The sand volleyball court was removed and replaced with a pickleball court. <br />The basketball court was resurfaced and a second hoop was added. The trails were repaved and realigned to address <br />heaves and settling. The picnic shelter and baseball field were not altered. <br />Neighborhood Meeting <br />Residents were invited to select the playground equipment at a neighborhood meeting <br />on May 15. Playground designs were presented from four vendors. A structure from <br />St. Croix Recreation was selected with a note to change the colors to blues and greens. <br />The three original playground containers were kept. The primary structure includes a <br />variety of slides and a post and deck layout. A structure for 2-5 year olds, swings, inde- <br />pendent spinners, a multi-user spinning net and a multi-user swing were also installed. <br />The residents also requested the court improvements. <br />Samson Walters Memorial <br />The Mahtomedi Hockey Association donated a bench and plaque in honor of Samson <br />Walters. Walters grew up in Diamond Point and died in 2023 due to a tragic accident. <br />ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION 2024 <br />Commissioners: <br />Meredith St. Pierre, <br />Chair <br />Cathy Moore-Arcand, <br />Vice Chair <br />Mat Rauschendorfer <br />Ranell Tennyson <br />Valerie Boyd <br />Andrew Reding <br />Jim Compton Sr., <br />Alternate
