From: Tim Behrendt, Street and Park Manager
Title
Consider Motion Recommending Approval of the Riverfront Enhancement Action Plan
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield Park and Recreation Advisory Board approves the Riverfront Enhancement Action Plan.
Summary Report:
The Riverfront Enhancement Advisory Committee has been working with the National Park Service, Parks and Trails Division, and with a team of consultants in developing the action plan.
The plan covers five main areas: improving parks and establishing a regional park system, enhancing and activating the riverfront parks, completing the local and regional trail system, exploring Ames Mill Dam reconstruction options, and promoting the riverfront area for economic development and as a tourist destination.
The park board was sent the link to the action plan to review and make comments. The park board can discuss and make comments to the action plan as a group. Does this playground equipment align with the vision of Riverside/Lions Park (Riverfront Action Plan)? Is there other playground pieces that would be more suitable for this location?
