Parks Improvement Plan – Park System Reinvestment Plan; StadlerPublic Worl�s I�epartrrlent � To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Steven J. Stadler, Public Works Director`�� Copy: Mike Mornson, City Manager Hopkins Park Board Members Date: Sept 2, 2015 Subject: Parks Improvement Plan — Park System Reinvestment Plan Park Board and staff will update City Council on the Park Reinvestment Plan and seek City Council support for proposed 2016 — 2020 park improvements. Park System Reinvestment Plan update The Parks Reinvestment Plan is continuing to attract public comments via the online survey that opened on June 29. We intend to wrap-up the public comment phase on the plan later this month. Over the next few weeks staff and consultant will be preparing a final plan based on the feedback obtained to-date. To-date, there are 87 comments on the park improvements and priorities, as presented at the June 18 Open House. A copy of the draft parks reinvestment plan and summaries of park users' feedback are attached. Park System Capital Improvement Plan The Park Board would prefer to front-load several park improvements (2016 — 2017) via bond funding vs. spreading improvements out over the next 5— 10 years. Accordingly, the proposed first three years of the 5-year CIP are as follows: 1'/�_1:i�:t�a1�� 2016 Cottageville Park Pavilion 2016 Oakes Park Warming House Rehab + picnic shelter replacement 2016 Valley Park Warming House Rehab 2016 Valley Park Play Equipment 2016 Valley Park Lighting Upgrade 2016 Install/upgrade drinking fountains EST.

Of the 325+ initial survey responses, the top responses to the survey question that asked what feature/s are missing from your park were: 58% - Updates to rundown features 33% - Restrooms 23% - Splash Pad 18% - Improved Safety 14% - Playground Additionally, responses to the online survey since the June 18 open house have generally supported the proposed park improvements and their relative priorities. See attached Park Capital Improvements Fund (301) Working Capital report showing the fund's anticipated revenues, expenses and all proposed 2015 — 2028 projects. Upon completion of the proposed 5-year 2016 — 2020 CIP the City will have accomplished the following: • Rehabbed or replaced 50 — 60+ year old warming house structures at Burnes Park, Central Park, Oakes Park, Valley Park, Harley Hopkins, plus rehab for the 30-year old Maetzold Field Pavilion • Replaced 25+ year old play equipment at Valley Park, Hilltop Park, Burnes Park (2-5 play equip), Park Valley Playground, Maetzold Field and Elmo Park (2-5 play equip) • Redevelop the south end of Burnes Park recreation area to include a splash pad • Upgraded park lighting at Valley, Harley Hopkins & Interlachen Park Attachments: 1.

Planting more trees, annuals, fountains, updated restrooms & warming houses, tennis courts, better maintenance on the grounds in general IS much needed!!! Much more and better 24 hour lighting at Oakes Park!! Continue to make parks pedestrian and bike friendly, and connected. Spend less money on parks and more money on police patrols in the neighborhoods. Where possible, maximum pedestrian and bicycle connectivity should be sought and created in public space that is not explicitly a natural preserve. Shade at parks Please consider taking the time to raise the infant swings installed at Central Park by a few inches to make them more usable. More movies in the park Have provided restrooms unlocked/available during all park hours! Add a splashpad and/or shallow kiddie pools so citizens can cool off. Please make them free or low cost - Shady Oak beach too expensive for most of us. Update drinking fountains with something easier to refill water bottles Install updated drinking fountains that are easy to use to refill drinking bottles 2/49 8/25/2015 6:14 PM 8/25/2015 5:07 PM 8/25/2015 4:42 PM 8/9/2015 1:39 PM 8/3/2015 4:13 PM 7/21/2015 11:24 PM 7/18/2015 6:10 PM 7/16/2015 7:56 PM 7/16/2015 7:02 PM 7/16/2015 5:29 PM 7/16/2015 9:13 AM 7/10/2015 3:23 PM 7/10/2015 3:21 PM HopkinsParksReinvestmentSurvey �;� Which park would you like to provide feedback for first? ��..,v: , . v.. � ��;�.�. � 3/49 Answer Choices Yes No Tota I HopkinsParksReinvestmentSurvey .: Do you consider Buffer Park to be your neighborhood park?

Central Park is used by a lot of residents & its off the main road, people see this park ALL the time! It should shine with beauty & much updates- at times iPs an embarrassment to bring people here & to hear the comments from other families how crapy it looks & how the ice rink is never decent, warning house is so outdated, if you could hear what people say & thaPs a big reflection to Hopkins as a community. So sad, there's improvement needed everywhere, I hope things start shaping up & we can be a shines little gem as I know Hopkins can be! 2 Not clear if west playground is park or school-- high schoolers hang out there during the day, though it isn't for their age-- clarify if this is for public use. East playground needs shade. 3 Retain & improve east playground 4 Relocate the sand volleyball to the east playground area, have the 15th Ave "drive lane" instead connect along the park's north edge over to 13th with parking along the new drive lane. 5 This park could use a full sized soccer field. 6 Parking at the Pavillion is already inadequate winter and spring. 7 Keep East playground cleaner - it is often littered with garbage. 8 Fix swings in playground (toddlers can crawl in - impractical for swinging); Dog park, backboard for tennis court 9 Improve grass 13/49 15.79% 5.26% 3 1 19 15.79% 15.79% 3 3 19 Date 8/25/2015 5:18 PM 8/6/2015 11:15 PM 8/3/2015 4:16 PM 7/21/2015 11:52 PM 7/20/2015 1:34 PM 7/19/2015 10:13 PM 7/16/2015 8:33 PM 7/16/2015 7:49 PM 7/10/2015 3:24 PM HopkinsParksReinvestmentSurvey ''' Which park would you like to provide feedback for next?(If you go back to a park you have already provided feedback for, you will have to re-enter your feedback) a�dr'smv��a: c�a �1�i�r�e�: tis1 14/49 Answer Choices Yes No Tota I HopkinsParksReinvestmentSurvey v Do you consider Cottageville Park to be your neighborhood park? 15/49 Responses 42.86% 57.14% HopkinsParksReinvestmentSurvey , ��.

Responses I like the idea of year round use. Open and lit design helps them feel and be safer. Perhaps consider cameras to deter violence, especially against women during evening hours/dark. no- any at Hilltop would be wonderful and so appreciative! Do they have water fountains? I'd like to see water fountains that support water bottle filling. The preliminary design for the warming house/restrooms looks great. I agree with its layout and use of materials. Restrooms open year-round is a high priority. I also like the added shade. Image won't enlarge to show detail, but perhaps they include drinking fountains too? Proposals look great. Looks like a nice change with addl restroom without going overboard This seems unnecessary given most of these parks are used as neighborhood parks, and the restrooms would remain unused by the residents who pay the property taxes to fund these parks. Also, what will be done to ensure vandalism does not occur at this new infrastructure? I like that the new design will support restrooms year round No. Be sure our cleaning, safety and maintenance plans are funded and that we are building the facility consistently with the cities that successfully have implemented such safe, clean and well maintained restrooms. I like the idea. Would improve usability year round especially for families with small children as well as programming/events ta the park. It would be great to have restrooms open throughout the year (good for senior citizens who NEED to go, and won't visit parks as much if no restrooms, and will deter casual public urination by other folks who get desperate and lack manners), but only if the cost of maintaining them won't strain the budget. Itwould be nice! I like the renovation design! Like the idea of having restrooms open even if the warming house it locked. So kids can access the bathroom either from inside the warming house or from outside of it. The new Countryside Park in Edina is a great example. (By Colonial Church). Lovely idea if we can afford it - but I would give a higher priority (if we had to choose) to updated playground equipment. Energy efficient with natural light Sounds great, looks great! I think this is OK as long as no trees need to be removed (Interlachen Park). Thank you Looks good. Would like plenty of windows and lighting for safety.

It promotes community building, too. no I am concerned about the Shady Oak Nature Area. Since the road construction, it was partially drained. The vegetation coming back is weedier and includes buckthorn and liatris. I know they will put a good mix of wetland seed along the new road, but what will happen to the rest of the area islands and banks? Could that vegetation be restored to a healthier mix, better able to filter the pond water? I'd like to see more water on the trails that go through the city. pedestrian and bike friendly connectedness please! Thanks for all the work that has been put into the park reinvestment project. Looking forward to the park improvements and hope to see a new splash pad at Burnes Park soon! There wasn't a comment box for Hilltop Park-- I consider the play structure to be in poor shape. Last time I was there it was patched with plywood and there was a bunch of trash in the surrounding area. Large openings made it inaccessible to younger kids. LOVE the splash plaza idea at Burnes Park - this is an amenity that is sorely missed in our great city. Put it on the shortest of lists! What about an off-leash dog area in one of our parks? This is another amenity that many neighboring communities have. Its good to see this especially the splash pad as Hopkins has been falling behind other suburbs for family park facilities, especially in heated pool / play areas and indoor play areas. I travel outside of our city limits to skate outdoors, because our facilities are second rate, there are no Hopkins parks near me, and not enough residents use the facilities to have a pick up hokey game in our town. Unfortunately, our "showcase" rink (the PAV) is an embarrassment to bring our opponents in to visit our town. Delano is the only (& nearest) metro community that can rival Hopkins for least comfortable/inviting and least adequate youth hockey facility. It seems that since hundreds of our kids skate multiple times/week for 6 months a year at the PAV and very few residents use our outdoor rinks and do so for only two months a year, it is wasteful to spend tens of thousands for year round public bathrooms within two month short hours warming house buildings. The sport has changed and Hopkins is decades behind all of our neighbors. Installing a splash pad would be a great asset to a downtown park. Parents/Nannies/Grandparents could stop and get coffee or lunch with their kids either before or after a visit there. We need a pool! Everyone has to spend their money at Richfield or Edina or St. Louis Park. Hopkins needs an outdoor pool! We love it! Keep up the good work! You do a good job! Really appreciate you taking the time to get feedback. Parks are so important to our neighborhoods, especially Interlachen Park. We love Hopkins Parks! Thank you! I am so excited you are making all these improvements - sorry we couldn't make the meeting. More native plants, dog parks, and trails. Already doing a great job. Thank you! We love it!

We visit that park almost every day 7/16/2015 3:59 PM of the week and the large majority of the time during warmer months, kids are playing baseball or soccer or other misc games in the larger field area. I think having boards up year round would make the space unused. We also host all of the IP nhood activities in this large field and in general, iPs a great space for kids to just be kids and run and play in the wide open space. As long as the hockey boards are functional during winter months and removable, I don't see why on earth you'd want to leave them up year round and take away the wide open space. Not to mention they are somewhat of an eye sore during the summer months. 21 Please consider adding tennis courts - especially Interlachen Park. I think they would be used more than the 7/16/2015 1:28 PM basketball court is now.

The plan should assure that the park system continues to fully meet the needs of the community and its visitors now and in the future.The plan will align priorities with future investments in the Hopkins Park System and inform the Capital Improvement Plan. Hopkins Hopkins is a fully built out community in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.The community is roughly four square miles and home to 18,000 residents. Originally a railroad village, Hopkins has a signature main street, and a walkable block system of streets. Railroad tracks have been converted into regional trails, and Hopkins is a hub of the Cedar Lake Regional Trail, the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail, the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail, the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail, and the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail. The Southwest Light Rail is planned to run through Hopkins in 2020 with stops at Blake Road, 8th Avenue (Hopkins Station), and Shady Oak Road. Planning Process Throughout the planning process, the Hopkins Park Board has served as the steering committee for the plan. In addition, City Staff has advised the process. The planning process began in the fall of 2014 with an inventory and evaluation of Hopkins' parks, and the features in them. A survey was distributed in the winter and spring to the community online and in paper form asking them how they used their parks and what they would like to see there. 326 responses were returned. Survey responses helped inform and update the inventory and evaluation. Additional work on the Focus Parks (discussed below) was completed in the spring and summer of 2015. An open house and online outreach took place in summer of Z015. The plan was reviewed and recommended by the Hopkins Park Board on and approved by the City Council on Prioritization Prioritization will be completed as part of the public engagement process. Prioritization will reflect the current condition of facilities and park elements. Park features generally fall into one of five categories: • Features that should be updated now for safety concerns • Features that could be updated now, but will suffice in their current state for the short term • New features that could be developed as funding is available • Features in satisfactory shape now, but will need replacement or updates within the ten year window of the study • Features that will continue to work in their current state for the next ten years The approach to reinvestments is as follows: • Replace what we have unless there is a good reason to remove it • Address safety issues • Provide restrooms where appropriate • Provide updated and unique"CommunityWide"features in appropriate locations Focus Parks As part of the process developing the Parks Reinvestment Plan, three parks were identified as "Focus Parks"to receive additional design work. These parks are Burnes Park, Central Park, and Valley Park. Each of these parks are slated to receive new investments and new facilities that will affect their layouts. Proposed improvements are shown on the page following the inventory for Burnes, Central, and Valley Parks. 4 Hopkins Parks Reinvestment Plan DRAFT " Q9.�z.1� Hopkins Parks Reinvestment Plan 5 DRAFT � 09.02.15 Findin sand Park g Findings The Good News Covera e g Overall, City parks in Hopkins are well utilized, and provide a wide variety of features and activities distributed across the city. Currently, the park system meets the needs of residents in the following ways: • Nearly 40% of the Hopkins Parks & Recreation Community Survey respondents reported visiting their identified neighborhood park at least once a week, if not more. • Good distribution of 4 season activities. • Good access to pleasure skating and ice hockey. • Residents walk and bike to their neighborhood parks; 90% of survey respondents report waking/biking to their neighborhood park, and 92% report feeling safe walking /biking to neighborhood parks. The Needs To ensure that they system meets the needs of residents now and well into the future, improvements to the system are needed. Needs include: • Maintenance of current amenities and infrastructure; especially updates to play equipment and restroom/warming house facilities. • Improvements to safety, including updates to lighting, trail and field surfaces, and play equipment • More large scale community gathering area(s) and amenities. • Lack of green infrastructure, such as stormwater filtration/infiltration areas, pollinator gardens, etc. Approach to Park Reinvestment A plan for the allocation of reinvestment efforts and funds need to be considered to most effectively and efficiently meet needs overtime.This approach prioritizes: • Replacement of what we have - unless there is a good reason to remove it • Addressing safety issues • Providing restrooms where appropriate • Providing updated and unique"Community-Wide"features Park Coverage The majority of Hopkins'residential areas are served by a city park or preserve within a quarter mile, which is an approximately 5 minute walk.
