The river front area immediately south of the central business district. <br /> This land lies within the floodplain and is currently undeveloped. <br /> 2. A 160 acre parcel adjacent to and north of the Elk River Golf Course. <br /> The land is currently undeveloped and has substantial tree stands. <br /> 3. The former city dump which is 80 acres in size. <br /> 4. An area of 80 to 160 acres surrounding Eagle Lake in the northeastern <br /> quadrant of the city. <br /> d. Trails System <br /> An important feature of the Park Plan is the integration of existing and <br /> • proposed recreation areas through the use of a trail system. The trail system <br /> provides a series of loops through the city. This loop arrangement is designed to <br /> provide access from residential neighborhoods to the park system with a minimum <br /> of traffic conflict with motorized vehicles. Portions of the trail system will be <br /> developed in conjunction with the expansion and development of various <br /> transportation corridors. <br /> The backbone of the trails system is the abandoned Burlington Northern <br /> Railroad bed which runs in a north-south direction from the Central Business <br /> District. Acquisition of the railroad bed is a goal of the city since it is an important <br /> link to the integrated trail system. <br /> • <br /> 11 <br />
