Dakota County/Empire Township Regional Park: The Metropolitan Council <strong>and</strong><br />

Dakota County have established a park master plan for a new regional park to be<br />

located in Empire Township, east <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lakeville</strong>. The boundary for the park has been<br />

established <strong>and</strong> the l<strong>and</strong> must be acquired. Metropolitan Council anticipates<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the park facility before 2030.<br />

State, Regional & Dakota County <strong>Trails</strong><br />

State <strong>Trails</strong>: Contact with the State Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation reveals that there<br />

are no state trailways located within the corporate boundaries <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lakeville</strong>. However,<br />

there has been much discussion concerning establishment <strong>of</strong> a regional trail connecting<br />

Lebanon Hills Regional Park <strong>and</strong> Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve.<br />

Regional <strong>Trails</strong>: The Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Regional <strong>Parks</strong> System <strong>Plan</strong><br />

identifies a regional trail search area extending from Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve,<br />

through <strong>Lakeville</strong> <strong>and</strong> on into Farmington <strong>and</strong> Empire Township, eventually ending at<br />

the Mississippi River in Hastings. No specific route has been defined for the regional<br />

trail corridor, although existing <strong>and</strong>/or planned MPTW segments in <strong>Lakeville</strong> would<br />

serve to connect from Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve to the <strong>City</strong>’s east boundary at<br />

numerous points depending on possible trail locations east <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>.<br />

Dakota County: The Dakota County Bikeway <strong>Plan</strong> identifies a number <strong>of</strong> bikeway<br />

from Burnsville to Farmington, following with County State Aid Highway 50 right<strong>of</strong>-way.<br />

Apple Valley <strong>and</strong> <strong>Lakeville</strong>, which opened in 2003.<br />
