When full development of the District occurs around 2020, population of approximately 25,762 will require between 64.4 and 90.1 acres of active recreation land. The neighborhood parks alone are at the low end of this forecast, however, the combination of all the City park land and school facilities within District 2 exceed the projected need. While the quantity of park and recreation facilities is very good in District 2, examination of the park service area standard reveals that several areas of District 2 are under served by existing facilities. This area of the City must be considered for future park search areas. Recommendations The following recommendations are offered for future park and trail facilities in District 2: 1. A neighborhood park search area is identified over the existing water tower site within the Dakota Heights neighborhood. The 9.8 acre site is underutilized in its current condition and presents an opportunity to develop needed recreational facilities for this neighborhood and making full use of the City owned property. The water tower is located in the north central portion of the site, making approximately five acres of the site available for park uses. 2. The existing trail system provides fairly comprehensive coverage throughout District 2. New trail improvements should include: a. Complete the MPTWs along Ipava Avenue between 175 th Street and 185 th Street. This trail corridor will continue south with the future extension of Ipava Avenue. b. Plan for MPTWs on both sides of Dodd Boulevard in conjunction with any future Dakota County improvements of the roadway. c. Provide for MPTWs along 185 th Street between CSAH 50 and Cedar Avenue to provide pedestrian and bicycle access to King Park. d. Provide for safe and user friendly street crossings at all major collector and arterial streets. City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Six 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 128
3. Opportunities for new greenway corridors that exist within District 2 include: a. Extension of a greenway between County Road 50 and 175 th Street utilizing existing City owned properties, existing utility easements and working with area property owners to acquire necessary easements or property. b. Along the north edge of the City’s wetland bank located at the northeast quadrant of Ipava Avenue and 185 th Street, extending through the King farm property and eventually to the City’s east boundary within Districts 7 and 3.
