Wayfinding & Parks and Trails Plan
Action Required:
Discussion
Summary
Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Wayfinding Plan
In 2025, the City officially renamed City Park to Heritage Park. With that change it was determined that
new signage would be necessary to reflect the updated park name. Additionally, Heritage Park serves as
the primary recreation facility in the community. The project represents an opportunity to not only update
signage at Heritage Park, but to establish cohesive signage standards across the entire parks system.
Several issues currently exist within the parks system:
1. Outdated naming - Signage at Heritage Park reflects its former name (City Park).
2. Former ownership identification - Many signs continue to reference the Rockford Area Schools as
the property owner, though the City purchased the property in 2018.
3. Inconsistent signage - Monument signs, directional signs, and other park identifiers lack cohesive
branding across the system.
4. Limited wayfinding - Internal directional signage (e.g., park maps, amenity directionals) could be
utilized to improve user experience.
Addressing these issues through a Wayfinding Plan ensures clarity, consistency, and professionalism
across City facilities.
With recent development of standardized regulatory (rules) signs, these will be incorporated into the new
signage standards rather than recreated. This allows cost savings, while maintaining consistency within
the broader system.
Additionally, the plan will also acknowledge and complement future regional signage installed by Three
Rivers Park District, with the future trailhead for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail planned within
Heritage Park.
Parks and Trails Plan
As goals continue to reflect an interest in park development, HKGi has prepared some ideas and options
to outline a Park System Plan. Options within the attached presentation are shown broken out by:
Parks & Trail System Overview
Existing parks, trails, and open spaces
Planned parks and trails
Public Engagement
Staff intends to lead public engagement opportunities in an effort for cost savings.

City of Corcoran Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Wayfinding Plan Proposal 2026 1
Mar. 4, 2026
Jessica Christensen Buck, Parks and Recreation Manager
City of Corcoran
8200 County Road 116
Corcoran, MN 55340
RE: City of Corcoran Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Wayfinding Plan Proposal
Dear Jessica,
HKGi is pleased to submit the following planning and design services proposal to support the City of
Corcoran in the development of a Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Wayfinding Plan.
We understand that the city desires a wayfinding plan and development of signage standards,
specifically for parks, trails, and open spaces. The standards shall establish a framework and
templates for city signage, including recommended signage scale, style, materials, colors, fonts,
and general content to be included. Sign types to be designed are monument signs for community
parks and neighborhood parks, and directional/wayfinding signs within parks (e.g. diagrammatic
map of ballfields in Heritage Park with field numbers). The city’s existing regulatory signs will be
incorporated into the signage standards, as well as high-level direction for future interpretive signs
in parks. Within Corcoran, Three Rivers Park District will have wayfinding signs on regional trail
segments. The Wayfinding Plan will acknowledge these signs and complement them.
Potential additional services, such as additional design and in-person or virtual meetings beyond
what is identified in the scope, will be billed hourly.
WORK PLAN
Task 1 – Project Kick off & Organization
HKGi will collect photos of existing city signage and assemble precedent images to review with city
staff. The kick off meeting will include a discussion of goals for park signage, including discussion of
sign content, style, scale, and other elements.
Task 1 Meetings and Deliverables:
• Sign precedents
• Existing city signage inventory
• Kick off meeting with staff
• Discuss goals for the project and wayfinding plan
15
City of Corcoran Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Wayfinding Plan Proposal 2026 2
• Discuss signage standards, including colors, materials, costs, size, scale, etc.
• Review signage precedents
Task 2 – Develop Sign Concepts
Based on feedback from staff on goals, precedent signage, and sign components, we will develop a
set of draft sign concept designs (4 sign types: community park monument sign, neighborhood park
monument sign, directional sign, and interpretive sign) tailored to meet the needs of Corcoran. Sign
concepts will be illustrated graphically with recommendations for materials, colors, size, scale, and
placement. We will meet with staff to review the draft concepts. Following the review meeting, final
preferred sign design illustrations will be developed.
Task 2 Meetings and Deliverables:
• Draft Sign Concepts (for 4 sign types) including identification of materials, size/scale, color,
and high-level content layout
• Meeting with staff to review draft concepts
• Make edits to concepts
• Park Commission Meeting to review draft concepts
• Provide materials for city staff to present to Council
• Make edits based on Council feedback
• Final Sign Concept Designs (Up to 4 visualizations/annotated illustrations of signs)
• Planning level cost estimates and list of next steps for implementation
PROFESSIONAL FEES
HKGi proposes to accomplish the above-described Work Plan for the fees listed below. We will bill
time on an hourly basis and all expenses for travel or printing will be billed at cost.
Task Fees
Project Kick off & Organization $1,500
Develop Sign Concepts $6,000
Total inclusive of expenses $7,500
We look forward to the opportunity of helping the City of Corcoran with this important community
project. Please reach out if you have any additional questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle Grinde, PLA

INTRODUCTION
FULL CITY VIEW
DOWNTOWN CONNECTION
A main focus of the Farmington Wayfinding Plan is to highlight Downtown as a destination and find ways to
connect the different landscapes/land uses within the City to this important central location and the local
businesses within. Farmington is a fast-growing City, and the wayfinding plan needs to help establish a strong
sense of place for cureent day and still remain relevant in the face of future development and redevelopment
opportunities.
The following pages will highlight proposed sign locations within the city of Farmington, show illustrative
concepts of the proposed sign families, and provide perspective renderings to give an idea of where and how
each sign type can be used at one of the proposed locations.
PROPOSED SIGN LOCATIONS
MONUMENT ENTRANCE SIGNS
Large city-branded signs located at the main
entrance points to the City of Farmington
DOWNTOWN IDENTIFIER
Signs located at main entrance points to the
downtown area that showcase city branding
VEHICLE DIRECTIONAL SIGNS
These signs direct vehicle traffic to the identified
destinations
STAND-ALONE PARKING SIGNS
Signs that are either free-standing or affixed to
existing buildings/light posts that direct vehicles
or pedestrians to public parking lots
URBAN KIOSKS
These signs include information, such as
public parking, directions to destinations, and
a map of downtown
PARK KIOSKS
These signs will show a layout of the park and
the surrounding area and how to get from the
park to downtown, and greenways

7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARYJUNE 4, 2024
INVENTORY, CONDITIONS & NEEDS ASSESSMENT SUMMARY
The inventory, conditions, and needs assessment process included gathering and reviewing data
and input from a number of sources: previous planning documents, county demographics and
projections, trends in recreation, existing park and trails conditions, a comparison of Stearns County
facilities to peer counties, park and trail access and distribution mapping, and public engagement
and input. The findings are summarized in the table below.
Data Source Summary of Findings
Needs / Recommendations
Previous Planning
The Stearns County Comprehensive Plan identified a need of 20 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. Other planning documents support the initiative of expanding parks and open space in the county to support active living and quality of life goals.
• Expand the park system by
acquiring more parkland
• Improve the parks and recreation
system with new facilities at
regional parks
Demographics The county is becoming more diverse. Population growth is occurring mainly in the east part of the county, where the population is younger and more diverse.
• Add facilities in the more densely
populated eastern part of the
county
Trends in Recreation
Trails are more popular than ever before with many varied methods for people to engage with the outdoors, including walking, running, biking, e-biking, scooters, skiing, and more. Unique experiences and accessible facilities for people of all ages and abilities are desired. Technology for wayfinding and access is important to consider, and climate change is affecting winter recreation options.
• Enhance the experiences and
access at Quarry Park
• Improve trail connections and
experiences
• Upgrade accessibility
Conditions Assessment
Several ADA accessibility issues throughout the system; amenities, such as picnic tables, trash receptacles, and drinking fountains, are missing or need improvements; restrooms need updates and improvements; and signage and wayfinding is missing in several locations.
• Accessible paths and connections
needed
• Support amenity and facility
upgrades are needed (restrooms,
drinking fountains, picnic tables,
etc.)
• Signage and wayfinding are
needed
Peer Comparison
When compared to Olmsted and Wright counties, Stearns County has a lower number of total park acreage, full-time parks staff, and parks operations budget (employee expenditures combined with operations and maintenance spending).
• More recreation programming is
needed
• Camping options are needed
• An increase in parks and
recreation staffing is needed
• An increase in annual parks and
recreation funding/budget is
needed
Distribution of Facilities and Gap Analysis
The Kimball area and western Stearns County frequently appear as gaps in access to trails, regional parks, aquatic facilities, and more.
• Consider acquiring parkland in
gap areas (Kimball and western
Stearns County)
Public Input Current park and trail users love the system today. There is a strong desire for more trails, trail connections, and trail loops. Maintaining and improving the existing facilities is of high importance.
• Build trail connections
• Increase frequency and level of
maintenance of existing parks
and recreation facilities
• Add specialized trails for
mountain biking, horse riding, and
winter recreation
PARK SYSTEM PLAN
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS

Jim Bell Park and Preserve Master Plan & City of Farmington Park System Analysis
ASSET MANAGEMENT TOOLThe Asset Management Tool is a separate Excel spreadsheet that has been created to give city staff the ability to track park assets, assign industry standard life spans, apply cost estimates for replacements, and financially plan for upcoming years at a planning level. This complex tool can be used to sort by individual parks and future park projects, individual asset types, and by sources of investments. It will also allow the city to update individual park assets based on replacement needs and updates to master planning documents. The tool has been developed to be automated so that when data is added, changed, or updated in a single field, associated data updates automatically throughout the spreadsheet.
PROJECT OUTLOOK
In our analysis of the City of Farmington’s park system, we have
worked with city staff to identify all existing facilities, planned park
improvements, and proposed new parks and facilities. This report,
along with the Asset Management Tool will help guide funding
allocation for future projects, as well as track existing park system
assets. Manipulation of the tool will allow for unique funding
strategies and prioritization of assets and projects by the city staff.
OVERALL COSTS
This tool allows the user to sort and consolidate assets to create
many different types of funding scenarios. Scenarios that are
already automated in the spreadsheet are: Total cost by Item, Total
cost by Park, Total cost by Category, costs based in Investment
Types, costs based on Funding Sources, and total costs based on
Existing Inventory, Master Plans, and Operations.
INFLATION FACTOR
Within this tool an inflation factor (percent) has been applied to all
cost summaries and all pricing in this report. Through the calendar
year 2022, a 7% inflation on 2022 dollars has been added. After
2022, 3% has been applied and compounded year over year. This
inflation factor should be adjusted each year to ensure accurate
budget forecasting.

Jim Bell Park and Preserve Master Plan & City of Farmington Park System Analysis March 2023
FUTURE PARKS
The City of Farmington is poised to design and construct multiple parks and developments in the
coming years. In order to do so, funding will need to be secured as well as additional staff to assist with
maintenance and operations. Future park projects and their expected funding sources are below:
KEY TAKEAWAYSAfter taking inventory of the entire park system and applying industry standard pricing to all assets, there are some key aspects of the Farmington Parks and Recreation system to note. All budget pricing in this report has been estimated in 2023 dollars with industry standard costs.Over the next 18 years (2023 - 2040), $14,536,030 will be needed to fund existing park asset replacement. However, based on the park facility distribution analysis, this number may be reduced by choosing to not
replace facilities where there are overlapping service areas.
Over the next 18 years (2023 - 2040), $39,348,217 will be needed to fund the completion of existing park
master plans. This includes future assets added to the parks and recreation system. This includes assets
anticipated to be funded by park dedication, development fees, and grant funding. This does not include
money associated to staffing or ongoing allowances.
»Over the next 6 years (2023 - 2028), $37,983,914 will be needed to fund investments to complete existing
park master plans that have not yet been finished. If funded, nine of the master plans can be completed.
As the park system continues to grow and add facilities, it will be important to continue the analysis of
facility distribution, service areas, and demographics, in order to avoid redundancy and ensure walkable
access to park facilities for residents throughout the city.

Plan Recommendations organized by Phasing and Project Type
The plan’s recommendations have been organized into the following categories for implementation:
• Capital Implementation Projects are projects that the County will undertake directly. These could be
funded by the County’s general fund, park dedication fees, or referendum. County staff will manage these
projects and they will typically be owned and operated by the County.
• Ongoing Capital Projects as Opportunities Arise are projects that may be dependent on an opportunity
presenting itself, such as acquisition of a privately owned property.
• Ongoing Operational Initiatives include standards that direct the day-to-day practice of the County as is
operates the system.
• Coordination and Partnerships are programs, projects, joint use agreements, or recreation programming
that may be paid for, led, or operated by or with another agency, organization, or entity, in coordination with
the County.
