As you know, <br /> there has been a need for picnic sites at Woodland Trails for sometime and at <br /> this time a Shelter Design Committee is putting together ideas for a long- <br /> term solution. The three individual picnic sites would provide an alternative <br /> to the typical group picnic area and would provide an immediate picnic use at <br /> Woodland Trails for little expense. <br /> Of the three sites are shown on the attached Park Concept Plans, two are <br /> adjacent the existing parking lot. The third is nestled into the woods in an <br /> open area with a view to the pond. A small two car parking stall is proposed <br /> to service the third picnic spot. The parking could be mowed grass, gravel, or <br /> a grass-crete type with rock or bollards delineating the edges of the parking <br /> area. The proposed location for the parking is in a low weedy open area near <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD&Phone: (612)441-7420 • Fax: (612)441-7425 <br />
