remote picnicking or camping location. This concept could be carried farther <br /> with some canoe or inner-tubing facility in Orono park as a final destination. <br /> Concept B <br /> The park entrance is realigned from what exists currently which would <br /> necessitate the neighboring properties to use the easement provided for them. <br /> The park road crosses the open field to access an upstream location from <br /> which to launch canoes into the Elk River. Some road parking would <br /> accommodate canoeists cars. The canoes could paddle to Harris Island Park, <br /> or all the way to Orono Park. There are three parking lots in the park. The <br /> first one services a picnic structure, restrooms, play structure, basketball <br /> courts, and ball fields. The second lot services more ballfields, and the last <br /> one services a more remote picnic area that extends into the woods to the <br /> river. A paved trail loops the perimeter of the park to some benches on the <br /> bank of the Elk River, and connecting all the park areas. <br /> Concept C <br /> This concept utilizes the existing entrance road that is currently used by the <br /> neighboring properties. The neighbors in this concept would have continued <br /> access off this entrance drive sharing it with the park. The Northern field <br /> • area is a prairie restoration with trails, picnic structure, restrooms, and <br /> parking lot. The Southern open field contains ballfields. A paved trail <br /> surrounds the ballfields and follows the Elk River with benches along the <br /> river bank. A secondary picnic area is accessible only by trail. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Park and Recreation Master plan for the site <br /> • Aerial photo of the site <br /> • <br /> f:\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\parkmmo\gagne.doc <br />
