OVERVIEW OF CONCEPTS
<br />OAK KNOLL ATHLETIC COMPLEX –
<br />1 Full size baseball stadium, 1 dedicated fi eld for intermediate age baseball,
<br />2 dedicated youth baseball fi elds
<br />Oak Knoll will become a baseball specifi c complex where players of all
<br />ages and abilities can interact and learn from each other. Hale’s Field
<br />will be adjusted and improved. It is envisioned as a marquee, town ball
<br />level stadium. If turfed, this would add capacity to the amount of use
<br />the 90’ fi eld could take, as well as be an option for younger players (60’
<br />and 75’ basepaths can be laid out on a larger turf fi eld). Youth fi elds will
<br />be dedicated baseball fi elds with grass infi elds. There will also be an
<br />intermediate baseball fi eld for 70/75’ basepaths that is appropriately sized
<br />for this age group. Elk River will also be home to a miracle fi eld, closing a
<br />regional gap between St. Cloud, Minnetonka, and Blaine.
<br />DAVE ANDERSON ATHLETIC COMPLEX –
<br />1 full sized rectangle fi eld, 2 revitalized softball fi elds
<br />Plans for Dave Anderson Athletic Complex envision a shift away from the
<br />aging softball complex to a more functional expansion of Orono Park.
<br />Retaining two softball fi elds will help alleviate safety concerns with the
<br />current pinwheel layout and seating down the foul lines. A large green
<br />space can accommodate a full sized soccer fi eld, but will can also be
<br />programmed with a multitude of smaller youth fi elds. It will also open
<br />up improved operations for the City’s recreation programming, add
<br />parking, and create a less “fenced in” feel to this side of the City’s park and
<br />government campus.
<br />PLANTS AND THINGS RECREATION COMPLEX –
<br />5 new rectangle fi elds (Football, Lacrosse, Soccer), 4 youth sized softball
<br />fi elds, retain current diamonds (2 full size, 4 fl ex BB/SB)
<br />Plants and Things Recreation Complex will grow, while enhancing its role
<br />as a key destination for youth athletics in Elk River and beyond. 5 rectangle
<br />fi elds with new support facilities will better accommodate football,
<br />lacrosse, and soccer games and tournaments. The layout of 4 new softball
<br />fi elds creates a “right size” set of fi elds for youth fastpitch softball instead
<br />of oversized fi elds designed for adult, slow pitch. The baseball fi elds in
<br />the northwest remain, but are enhanced through site improvements for
<br />support facilities. This layout also better facilitates tournament play, allowing
<br />for 5 full sized soccer/football/lacrosse fi elds or many younger fi elds to be
<br />active at the same time. Likewise, the facility could now host a little league
<br />baseball or softball tournament with 8 fi elds going at once.

<br />¶¶
<br />TOURNAMENT CAPACITY
<br />One benefi t to the Framework Plan is an increase in tournament
<br />capacity at most facilities. The table below considers the number of
<br />fi elds at any one location that could host tournaments for diff erent
<br />sports.
<br />TIMING (SEE PAGES 7-8)
<br />There should be minor investment in safety netting at DAAC. The
<br />timeline on removal of these fi elds is far enough out that investment in
<br />netting would be justifi ed.
<br />1 - Three Rectangle fi elds at PTRC
<br />(Allows for removal of existing PTRC and OKAC fi elds)
<br />2 - Hale’s Field at OKAC
<br />(Can shift depending on School District and City timing)
<br />3 - Softball Fields at PTRC
<br />(Allows for removal of DAAC fi elds and add grass at OKAC)
<br />4 - Baseball Complex at OKAC
<br />(Keep DAAC fi elds for baseball capacity while under construction)
<br />5 - Upgrades to Baseball area and two rectanglie fi elds at PTRC
<br />6 - Removal of Softball Fields at DAAC
<br />NEXT STEPS
<br />The next steps to continue this project will include:
<br />• Wetland delineation – needs to be within 5 years of planned
<br />improvements
<br />• Final design
<br />• Secure Funding
<br />• Joint Powers Funding and Use Agreement with the School District
<br />• Construction Documentation, Bidding, and Construction
<br />• Ongoing Maintenance
