From: Jessica Christensen Buck, Recreation Supervisor
Re: Park Standards
______________________________________________________________________
The discussion of park standards has been an ongoing topic for the Parks and Trails
Commission. Attached as 2b. is a previous document, created by Commissioner
Anderson and former Commissioner Meister that summarizes some of the park
standards that have been discussed, proposed, or included in the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.
The information from the previous park standards document was combined with other
items the Parks and Trails Commission discussed and recommendations by staff.
Attached as 2a. is a draft of the park standards documents, reflecting the Parks and
Trails Commission’s feedback from the March 21, 2024, meeting. The information will
have been shared and discussed among the Parks and Trails Commission during the
April 18, 2024, Parks and Trails Commission meeting. Due to the timing of the work
session agenda packet being printed, those comments will not be included in the memo,
but will be discussed during the work session.
This document will help to provide areas of discussion when reviewing development
plans, planning for future parks, and building out the trail system. The park standards
document is broken down into sections to provide considerations for the city-wide park
system, as well as specific types of parks and trails.
Staff is requesting the City Council and Parks and Trails Commission discuss the Draft
Park Standards and provide feedback on the document.

Neighborhood Parks
• Overall size of 5-20 acres.1
• Designed to meet the needs of the local population (see general notes), while flexible to
repurpose as preferences,needs , and trends change.
• A line connecting any two points in a park should be entirely inside the park boundaries
• The topography should be generally flat, with steep hills and gullies avoided.2
• Adequate parking must be provided for those visiting outside the neighborhood (on-street
parking near the park is acceptable).2
• Buffering in the form of wetlands, substantial tree lines, etc. should provide a clear
distinction between parks and homes, and to allow activities to take place with limited
disruption to neighbors.2
• To include interactive features promoting social interaction and recreation (i.e., playgrounds,
picnic areas, gathering spaces).
Open Space Parks
• Overall size of 20-100 acres.1
• Focus on conservation and sustainability of the natural habitats, scenic landscapes, and
native ecosystems.
• Educational opportunities through interpretive signage, nature trails, or other engaging
features.
1. 2040 Comprehensive Plan
2. Previous Park Standards Document Updated 4/18/2024
• Infrastructure with minimal environmental impact.
Community Playfields:
• Playfields should support active game play suitable for many age ranges
• Variety of sports fields and courts for different activities
o Appropriate amenities to support usage (i.e., restrooms, seating, etc.).
Linear Parks/Trails
• Accommodation of a variety of user abilities and modes including walking, jogging, and

General Notes
• Low Density Residential: Park size based on projection of population within ½ mile of the
park.
• High Density Residential & Mixed Use: Park size based on projection within ¼ mile of the
park.
As part of the NRPA 2023 Agency Performance Review, reporting cities under 20,000 in
population findings were:
• Median of 1,225 residents per park
• Median 13 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents
• Median 4 miles of trail
Corcoran Parks – Details
Neighborhood Park (from the Comp Plan)
Neighborhood Parks are the most local unit of the park system, providing area for recreational activities
such as field games, court games, playground, skating, and neighborhood centers. These parks prioritize
user groups living in the neighborhood. They are identified as NP – Neighborhood Park on the system
map. Neighborhood Park sites should be in proximity to residential neighborhoods. Their design may be
as simple as a playground or as intense as a public square. Siting neighborhood parks adjacent to
community parks and local linear parks, corridors and parkways will expand the function of all types of
open space. It will also entice residents from throughout the community to visit the park ensuring new
parks do not function as private facilities for new developments.
Neighborhood Park development criteria generally includes:
•An overall size of 5-20 acres.
•A service area of 1/4 to 1/2 mile.
•A physical geography suited for intense development.
•A frequency of 1 neighborhood park per 5,000 residents
Expectations for individual Parks:
•If zoned Low Density Residential (3-5 units/acre) Parks shall be sized based on a
projection of the number of people who will live within ½ mile of the park. If zoned High
Density Residential (10-30 units/acre) or Mixed Use (8-30 units/acre) the radius should
be ¼ mile.
•Parks shall be designed to meet the needs of the local population while remaining
flexible to be repurposed as the needs of the population and preferred recreational
activities change.
•Parks shall be easy to locate. They should be on or near main access roads.
•Parks will be in compact. A line connecting any two points in a park should be entirely
inside the park boundaries. (The geometry term is convex)
•Playfields: to provide adequate size for all field games a playfield should be 75X120
yards (225X360 feet) (the size of a regulation soccer field)
•The topography of a neighborhood park should be generally flat or nearly so. Steep hills
and gullies are not generally appropriate for neighborhood parks.
•Parking. Most of the people using a neighborhood park will live in the neighborhood
but adequate parking must be provided. On-street parking is acceptable as are easily
access parking lots within the park.
•The distinction between parklands and neighbors lots should be clear to both the
nearby homeowner and patrons of a park. Roads, trails, walls, water features all help
Agenda Attachment Item: 2aii.
define the border of a park. A Neighborhood Park which is largely ringed by homes
without buffering is not acceptable. Buffering might be wetlands, substantial tree lines,
or undeveloped areas maintained by a homeowner’s association.
• Neighborhood Parks should be inviting to residents and visitors and parks should be
sited so that outdoor activities by groups of children and adults can take place without
disturbing neighbors.
• Access to nearby trails should be incorporated in a park design.
• Large trees which were on the site prior to development should be retained and
incorporated in the park design.

Re: Funding Sources/Uses and Park Dedication Projections
______________________________________________________________________
Attached to this report is the Funding Sources/Uses Spreadsheet, which outlines the
upcoming park projects and potential sources/uses for funding the projects. This
document is intended to assist with aligning funding sources with project expenses,
ensuring transparent and efficient use of resources.
These documents serve as references for understanding the park dedication
contribution and allocations associated with upcoming park projects. The costs outlined
in the Funding Sources/Uses Spreadsheet are estimates. These estimates are subject
to change as projects progress through design phases and incorporate various
amenities into the plans.
The Funding Sources/Uses Spreadsheet shows possible usages of funds across
different park projects, providing an overview of where financial resources are coming
from and proposed to go towards. This strategy helps with distribution of funds to
address diverse needs and priorities across multiple park developments.
Staff is requesting the City Council and Parks and Trails Commission review the
attachments and provide any feedback and recommendations regarding document
improvements.

MEMO
Meeting Date: April 25, 2024
To: City Council and Parks and Trails Commission
From: Jessica Christensen Buck, Recreation Supervisor
Re: City Park Concept Plans
______________________________________________________________________
HKGi and City staff worked closely completing a comprehensive site analysis of City
Park to gain deeper insights into the current operations, previous planning efforts, and
evaluation of areas of the park in both good and poor condition. Following the analysis,
staff collaborated with HKGi on the development of three concept plans for the Parks
and Trails to review on March 21, 2024, where Gabrielle Grinde, HKGi Principal, was in
attendance to present, answer questions, and receive feedback on the concepts.
As part of the conversations, the following were some of the takeaways noted by City
and HKGi staff:
•Interest in the playground closer to the t-ball fields and further from the road.
•Dual lining the hockey rink to allow for dual use through lining the rink with basketball or
pickleball.
•Hockey rinks, skating, and warming house to the southeast corner of the park.
Included as an attachment are the preferred concept plans, reflecting the Parks and
Trails Commission’s March 21, 2024, meeting feedback. As part of the preferred
concept plan, there are 3 paved parking lots shown in the locations of the current gravel
parking lots. One of the parking lots to the south is located just south of Diamond Lake
Regional Trailhead, with further conversations necessary with Three Rivers Park District
to discuss trail alignment details. Hennepin County will also be included in future
discussions to determine access points for parking lots. The concept plan shows
entrance points in their current locations being carried forward into the remaster.
Fields 1-3 in the ballfield clover, existing shelter, and Snyder Field would remain in their
current locations. Lions Field would become an open field/event space for gathering,
events, general play, etc. The amphitheater is also shown as a new amenity, located
between the creek and the existing shelter.
Agenda Item: 4.
One building shown is the warming house/maintenance building in the southeast, to be
considerate of costs when pulling from existing utility infrastructure. Next to the warming
house/maintenance building are a free skate area, hockey rink, and a small hockey rink
like what is currently at the park. Inside of the hockey rink, a basketball court is shown,
intended to activate the space during the warmer months.
The second building shown is the building/pavilion, which is also intended to have
restrooms, changing rooms, and splash pad water management system. Discussions
occurred at a staff level about attachment 4c. showing examples of open-air spaces
with playgrounds underneath and 4b. of the previously shown example of a
pavilion/building combination at Lions Park in Rogers. Feedback on this idea is
requested from the Parks and Trails Commission and City Council.
Located near the building/pavilion are the splashpad and playground. Alternative
concept plans showed the playground south of the building/pavilion, to which the
Commission preferred the two amenities to be further from the road. If the open-air
shelter with playground option were incorporated (4c.), a larger building would be
required and would likely readjust amenities.
The final two amenities shown are 6 pickleball courts and 2 tennis courts. These are
shown separately rather than dual-lined due to previous experience from City and HKGi
staff where having them separate mitigates some problems, such as overcrowding.
In addition to amenities, the Diamond Lake Regional Trail is shown in charcoal on the
map, with the trailhead shown to the south near the eastern parking lot. Alignment for
the trail needs to be further discussed with Three Rivers Park District, but HKGi staff
worked to meet the standards set by Three Rivers Park District. Locations for the
regional trail connections reflect the work done on the Cooperative Agreement with
Three Rivers Park District, the plans for Rush Creek Reserve, and the plans for
Corcoran Farms Business Park.
Staff is requesting the City Council and Parks and Trails discuss the concepts and
provide feedback on the preferred concept. Gabrielle Grinde will be in attendance for
the work session, in addition to City staff.
