Park Entrance Signs In 2001, the Prior Lake City Council made a financial commitment to install permanent maintenance free park signs that are composed of natural materials and identifies the community through its logo. The location for installation of signs in 2005 is White Tail Island which is part of Deerfield Industrial Park and Crystal Lake Park, Heritage Landing subdivision. Curb The 2005 C.I.P. identifies the installation of concrete B6-12 curb along the beach at Sand Point Beach. The curb will act as a separation between the beach and the turf area eliminating the sand from migrating onto the open space turf area. In addition, concrete pads will be installed along the curb for placement of garbage containers. In the winter, these curbs will not interfere with vehicle access and egress from the lake. Backstop A backstop is identified in the 2005 C.I.P. for Wilds North Park. Backstops protect spectators and park users from equipment used on the field.
