Neighborhood parks are distributed throughout the community’s residential areas and are intended to provide equal facilities and access. Optimum service areas for neighborhood parks should be within a one-half to threequarter mile radius unobstructed by roadway or physical barriers. Resident population served should not exceed 5,000, which is approximately equal to a development density of 3.0 dwelling units per acre. Convenient linkages from the neighborhood into the park should occur along with community trail connections. Sites selected should possess physical features which accommodate the basic development program. Characteristics are gently rolling to level terrain with well drained soils, partially wooded, regular geometric shape and street access. Wetland or water basin features are acceptable and may be desirable, however, soil or drainage conflicts should not result. Neighborhood parks should ideally be 8 to 20 acres in size, for both active and passive uses. In some cases, joint use of elementary or middle school sites should be considered to minimize duplication of active recreation facilities. Neighborhood park sites should provide for a variety of uses and possess land characteristics which allow for ball field play as well as canopy vegetation for picnicking. Service Area: Per Capita Standard: Approximately one-half to three-quarter mile radius uninterrupted by principal roadways or major physical barriers. Secondary service to residences within three-quarter mile radius. 2.5 to 3.5 developed acres per 1,000 people City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Three 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 36
Desirable Size in Acres: Maximum park size of 8 to 20 acres with 7 to 10 acres developed for active functions. The remainder may be passive or provide other functions. Primary Function/User Groups: The park should provide informal neighborhood open space with provisions for active recreation use which responds to residential neighborhood needs. Primary users will be children and families rather than organized athletic functions. Locational Characteristics: Centrally located within service area or defined neighborhood, the park may be adjacent to elementary or middle school facilities or other park elements. Primary access should occur by pedestrian or bicycle means. Neighborhood parks should be connected by the community trail system. Secondary means should include street access with vehicle parking facilities provided. Adjacent land use should be residential (limited to two edges), school grounds, collector roadway, or community open space. Natural characteristics should include topography that has flat to rolling terrain and well-drained soils compatible with facility development. Vegetation should be representative of the neighborhood, partially wooded preferred. Visibility should allow good sight lines into parcel for park security. Water features such as ponds, streams, or wetlands should be included if they are compatible with facility development and do not pose safety problems. Typical Facilities: Active Informal playfield (not lighted) compatible with softball or soccer use but not programmed use Creative play structures and apparatus for children of varying ages including tots (2-5 years), young children (5-6) and older children (9-12) Trails - both internal loops and access to community system Sledding Multiuse hard surface play court (basketball, court games) Tennis courts (optional, can vary by location and neighborhood desires) Skating – both lighted hockey and pleasure skating City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Three 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 37
