MEMORANDUM <br /> Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. ©® <br /> Skate Park <br /> Approximately 11,000 SF has been allocated to the skate park,which should accommodate the <br /> desired program. It is accessible by trail and has parking available. <br /> Boat Launch <br /> Given the deteriorating condition of the parking lots,the boat launch has been reconfigured to <br /> reduce the amount of paving and provide a"drive through"trailer parking arrangement. 14 <br /> spaces are provided for vehicles with trailers. Overflow parking is available along the access <br /> drive. Areas are also provided to incorporate loading/unloading and DNR Aquatic Invasive <br /> Species (AIS) stations. <br /> Open Recreation Lawn <br /> Kuss Field is anticipated to be relocated elsewhere in the Elk River park system. This opens up <br /> the area for an informal recreation lawn. The area could be used by picnickers or programmed <br /> for youth field sports(lacrosse, soccer). <br /> Reconfigured Parking <br /> The existing, deteriorating parking lot is reconfigured and relocated further away from the water. <br /> One lot serves more of the active playground/splashpad/pavilion program,while the other serves <br /> the picnic shelter, sand volleyball, and the north part of the beach. <br /> Parking for pickleball can be accommodated first along the road, and possibly at the YMCA <br /> through a shared parking agreement. <br /> Splash Pad <br /> The splash pad as shown is approximately 4,000 SF. For context,this is similar in size to the <br /> splash pad at Champlin's Andrews Park. <br /> Park Pavillion&Large Group Picnic Facilities <br /> The structure would incorporate restrooms/changing areas, concessions, and potentially a rental <br /> area for small non-motorized boats and stand up paddle boards. Various options exist for this <br /> type of rental program, from having a person who manages rentals,to the kiosk style rental <br /> facilities being used in many regional, county, and city parks. <br /> Stormwater Features <br /> Stormwater retention, infiltration, and treatment features are included throughout the park. These <br /> areas help treat stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces before reaching Orono Lake. They <br /> also help collect water that might otherwise pool in undesired locations. They are anticipated to <br /> be planted with raingarden appropriate plants that can accommodate occasional inundation. <br /> 123 North Third Street,Suite 100 Minneapolis,Minnesota 55401 <br /> (612)338-0800 Fax(612)338-6838 <br />
