Background

Funding

$291,900 is available for Linden Hills Park Play Area and Site Improvements (Phase 1) from the 2019 Capital Improvement Program which can be used for the play area.

$117,800.50 in unallocated Park Dedication fees is also currently available for new amenities in the park; our play area concept plan improvements (as designed) are not eligible for use of the park dedication funds.

History

This park has a master plan that is pending release for a 45-day comment period if approved by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board in February 2020.

Improvements anticipated include the replacement of the existing play equipment and incidental improvements within the park (such as play area fencing or drainage) or it may include items in the Southwest Service Area Master Plan once it is approved (unless the CE Plan is amended).
