o Alternative 1: Maintain Pavilion as is. Restrooms are only available to those who rent
the pavilion for meetings or events. Construct a new restroom/changing room
building near the splash pad and playground.
o Alternative 2: Modify the existing pavilion to add on publicly accessible restrooms
from the outside of the building that will serve the playground, splash pad, and other
general park users.
Skate Park and Basketball
Develop a new skate park (9) with bowl and high level features permanently located centrally
in the park
Develop new basketball courts (10) centrally located in the park, one full court and two half
courts
New road access (11) from the central area of the park to the east, with connection to
Ridgemont Ave SE. Parallel parking is added along a portion of the road.
A new stormwater detention basin (12) is located between the parking lots in order to
manage stormwater from the new road.
The southern most parking lot, centrally located in the park would be expanded (13) with a
second drive aisle and two rows of parking stalls, which would more than double the parking
stalls in that lot.
The existing baseball diamond will be removed and replaced with lawn open space that may
be used for events or potentially a future amphitheater (14) or performance space.
Remove the existing picnic shelter near the baseball diamond.
East Park / Winter Use Area
A new park building will be constructed along Ridgemont Ave SE, which will provide an
outdoor patio space (15) to be used for both winter and summer gatherings with firepits and
seating, and an indoor warming house (16) to support the sledding and ice skating/hockey
uses at the park. This building could be used for the general public in the winter and rented out
for events in the summer time.
The parking lot along Ridgemont Ave SE will be relocated to the north and expanded (17) to
serve a larger recreation program.
Ice skating / hockey (18):
o Alternative 1: A new ice skating ribbon will be constructed in place of the tennis courts
and parking lot to provide a formal pleasure skating feature.
o Alternative 2: One or two hockey rinks will be relocated from the bottom of the
sledding hill to the top
The sledding hill will remain in place with a slight modification to the slope and direction of
the hill due to the new road and slightly rerouted trails.
Woodlands and Trails
Add a disc golf course along the edge of the woods
Trails through the woods: Include one main paved trail loop or spine through the woods, and
transform the rest to natural surface. The natural surface trails would not be plowed. Consider
winter trail uses -- cross country skiing, snowshoeing, etc.

DRAFT
WOODLAND AND TRAILS
• The southernmost parking lot, centrally located in the park would be
expanded with a second drive aisle and two rows of parking stalls,
which would more than double the parking stalls in that lot.
• The existing baseball diamond will be removed and replaced with
lawn open space that may be used for events or potentially a future
amphitheater or performance space. The large lawn will continue to
be programmed for youth soccer.
• Consider removal of the existing picnic shelter near the baseball
diamond.
• Add a disc golf course along the edge of the woods
• Trails through the woods: Include one main paved trail loop or spine
through the woods, and transform the rest to natural surface. The
natural surface trails would not be plowed. Consider winter trail uses
(cross country skiing, snowshoeing, etc.)
• Update the boardwalk across Little Prior Lake, potentially enhance to
a bridge rather than a floating boardwalk. Add overlook in the middle
of the bridge, to be used as a fishing/overlook area (shown as number
27 on overall map on page 19)
