Regional Park Designation Application <br /> Staff recently completed the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission Designation <br /> Application for Woodland Trails Park. The deadline was June 30,2015. Incorporating both the Big <br /> Tooth Ridge Park and the Great Northern Trail makes Woodland Trails Park a 427-acre regional <br /> park. The Woodland Trails Park system map that was an attachment in the application is attached. <br /> If Woodland Trails qualifies as a regional park, then the Commission will review the application and <br /> rank the project against set classifications and criteria. A Master Plan of the park with the criteria <br /> outlined by the Commission will be required before regional park status is formally approved. This <br /> is a more comprehensive plan than the one completed in the recently adopted Parks and Recreation <br /> Master Plan. It's a more detailed plan with detailed graphic plans, descriptions, and photos. <br /> A Commission approved regional park qualifies it for grants and funding made available through the <br /> Commission by Minnesota's Legacy for parks and trails. This is for funding of city/county parks <br /> and trails of regional significance outside the seven-county metro area. <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2015\07-08-15 PRC Packet\Directors Report 7-8-15.docx <br />
