[~hat are the existing needs for park trails and athletic facilities? 4. Commission recommendations re: parks, trails or facilities? Prior Lake Park and Trail Plan August 4, 2004 Recreation Facility Inventory and Evaluation The attached spreadsheet, dated July 2004, is an inventory of city and school district recreation facilities and an evaluation of existing and future recreation facility needs based on service area standards. Service area standards are general guidelines for the minimum acceptable number of facilities per a given population or area. The service area standards come from the National Park and Recreation Association and vary by facility type and role. The service area evaluation represent a baseline point for evaluation of outdoor recreation needs. They will be adjusted based on facility use and community expectations. Findings of the service area evaluation are: Existing needs: Most existing recreation needs are met by City and School facilities. The evaluation shows a shortage of large softball fields, medium size baseball fields and outdoor hockey rinks. It also shows that tennis courts numbers are adeqUate, but they are concentrated in a few school sites. It is the city policy to concentrate courts in school and community parks. Future needs: The evaluation assumes continued growth and development within the city and the annexation area through 2030. Growth increases the demand for neighborhood and community parks. The facility analysis shows the need for additional softball fields, baseball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts and hockey rinks. Athletic facility needs: Youth athletics uses school facilities for league play and practices. Adult sports use does not use school facilities. A new adult athletic facility should be built and Ponds Park could be converted into a youth athletic complex. This would allow separation of adult and youth athletic activities and creates additional field space for youth and adults. Park needs: There is a need for 10 new neighborhood parks and one additional community park within the Spring Lake Park annexation area. 'Trail needs: The Trail Plan envisions continued expansion of the trail system within the City and additional trail connections to link with planned County trails and trails in adjacent communities, Prior Lake Park and Trail Plan August 4, 2004 Adjustable 16"-20" H 10.75" W x 6' L SW2116 80 lbs. $500 SW2117 85 lbs. $525 32" H x 18" Wx4' L 32" H x 18" Wx 8' L SW2118 90 lbs. $600 SW2119 180 lbs. $1,200 . - _ 16" H x 9.5" W SW2120 5 lbs. $200 . 2120 2' 3" H x 5' 9" W x 6' L SW2121 625 lbs. $2,200 2121 2094 3' H x 8' W x 30' 6" L SW2093 3,274 lbs. $10,860 4' H x 12' W x 30' 6" L SW2094 5,262 lbs. $16,200 5' H x 16' W x 34' 6" L SW2095 7,688 lbs. $23,710 6' H x 20' W x 34' 6" L SW2096 9,913 lbs. $29,955 7' H x 20'W x 34' 6" L SW2097 10,813 lbs. $33,555 3' H x 8' W with 3' spine, 31' L SW2098 2,811 lbs. $9,440 4' H x 12' W with 4' spine, 31' 6" L SW2099 4,822 lbs. $14,865 5' H x 16' W with 5' spine, 36' 6" L SW2100 7,074 lbs. $22,260 2101 2103 · 12" H x 18" W x 8' L Ledge SW2130 255 lbs. $830 2" square coping 8' L 2" round coping 8' L 18" H x 18" W x 8' L Ledge SW2101 400 lbs. $895 2" square coping 8' L 2" round coping 8' L 18"H x 18" Wx 16'L 12" H x 3' Wx 16' L Ledge 2" square coping 16' L 2" round coping 16' L SW2102 800 lbs. $1,755 Grind box ._ SW2103 with 2.5" angled edge 8' L Grind box SW2104 with 2.5" angled edge 16' L 900 lbs. $2,200 12"-30" H x 3' W x 8' L 12"-30" H x 3' W x 16' L Grind box w/ledge on top SW2105 850 lbs.
