Recommendations

Info

City must continue to work active towards locating league use in community playfields and away from neighborhood park facilities. b. In the past, the various athletic associations have expressed concern over the condition, and maintenance of the School District facilities, which did not favorably compare with City facilities. These conditions were attributed to the School District’s limited funds. The City has maintained all school infields for the past five years which has greatly improved conditions system-wide. 6. To avoid duplicate expenditures in land and facilities, continued cooperative efforts between the City and School Districts will be maintained to improve the quality of the outdoor recreation facilities at the local schools. 7. The City will pursue the specific park design recommendations described for the individual community playfields in the individual facility analysis to be included as Appendix A.

Neighborhood Park/Mini-Parks Lakeville’s park classification and policies outline the following service parameters for neighborhood parks. Service Area: Approximately one-half mile radius uninterrupted by principal roadways or major physical barriers. Secondary service to residences within three-quarter mile radius. Per Capita Standard: Two and one-half to three and one-half developed acres per 1,000 population. Desirable Size in Acres: Maximum park size of 8 to 20 acres with seven to ten acres developed for active functions. The remainder may be passive or provide other functions. Neighborhood parks are intended to provide the primary facility for neighborhood recreation. Mini-parks will be utilized to supplement the neighborhood park system within residential areas isolated by physical barriers or access constraints that prevent use of larger neighborhood parks. Lakeville’s park classifications and policies outline the following service parameters for mini-parks. Service Area: Less than one-quarter mile radius preferred. One-half mile radius in select circumstances. Per Capita Standard: One-quarter to one-half an acre per 1,000 population. Desirable Size in Acres: Minimum size one to five acres. Table 20 indicates that by year 2030, Lakeville will have needs of between 228 and 319 active acres of neighborhood parks. Lakeville’s existing neighborhood and mini-parks provide approximately 210 acres of active park land. Lakeville elementary schools provide an additional 72 to 112 acres of active recreation land. Collectively, these facilities meet the forecasted area needs of the City beyond 2020 and approaching 2030. However, the distribution of existing facilities does not address all the growing service areas of the City. New neighborhood park facilities must continue to be acquired and developed within the new growth areas of Lakeville. To provide a detailed examination of Lakeville’s neighborhood park needs, the City has been divided into eight park planning districts. The districts were defined by physical barriers that serve limited park service areas. Within these park planning districts, the park and trail needs were examined in relation to population growth, proposed land use, and transportation recommendations. Within the park planning district, geographicspecific recommendations have been provided addressing neighborhood park and trails.
