Info

Primary Function/User Groups: Extensive area for community-wide use which may provide active, passive, educational, cultural or programmed functions for all age groups. Community parks should integrate unusual or attractive natural features such as water bodies into the park for preservation and recreational use. Ample off-street parking and good access from collector or minor arterial roadways is desirable. Locational Characteristics: Locations that provide for convenient access for entire community via major roadways and trails and at sites that make use of existing natural features such as lakes, creeks or greenway corridors and wetlands. Typical Facilities: Active Beachfront Boat access Multiuse trails Active facilities compatible with large group picnics such as volleyball, horseshoes, softball, or court games Play structure(s) for various age groups Passive Picnic facilities Seating with attractive views Fishing Natural interpretation Trails (various types) Support Facilities Comfort facilities with restrooms which may integrate an information center, picnic facility, storage or other building requirements Parking for large groups and community events Signage Adequate waste collection and storage City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Three 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 34
Community Playfield/Athletic Complex Community playfields are targeted towards organized adult and youth play on a citywide basis. The majority of the users for these facilities will come from beyond a walking range and as a result will require adequate parking and available restrooms. Community playfields should respond to the following types of athletic facility needs: softball fields, baseball fields, soccer/football fields, multiple tennis courts, swimming pools, hockey rinks and pleasure skating rinks. Facility use and team competition play may require site lighting and irrigation to extend their usable hours. Community playfields should be maintained with more intensity than other parks due to the amount of use and level of play. Community playfields generally service populations up to 25,000, however, their service base relates primarily to individual facility needs and the demands placed on them by user groups. Minimum size should not be less than 20 acres with optimum size being 30 acres or larger. Locations near thoroughfares to accommodate vehicle access and movement is preferred. Joint use of facilities with elementary, middle or senior high schools can be considered where schedules and maintenance requirements agree. Athletic facilities require regular geometrically shaped parcels, flat topography, well drained soils, minimal vegetation, and insignificant wetland constraints. Service Area: Per Capita Standard: Community-wide 2.0 to 2.5 developed acres per 1,000 people Desirable Size in Acres: Minimum 20 developed acres, maximum 60 developed acres Primary Function/User Groups: Participants in athletic activities which may be organized or informal and which utilize the athletic fields and court facilities. Locational Characteristics: Typical Facilities: Facilities should be located close to a community collector or minor arterial roadway on a site whose topography has minimal change. Proximity to secondary schools may be desirable to allow for shared use of facilities parking and lighting. Facilities should be centrally located within the community or may be dispersed if multiple sites are developed and distributed through the community.
