Agenda Items – Public Comment Period on Draft Parks Amenity Plan Committee welcomed any members of the public wishing to comment on the Draft Parks Amenity Plan to speak. The following residents addressed the Committee: Nicole Farrelly, 149 Chaparral Drive, asked the City to reconsider the plan to not replace the playground at Chaparral Park. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE November 21, 2024 Connie Kestlar, 153 Chaparral Drive, also advocated for replacing the playground at Chaparral Park, specifically for the sake of the young children in the neighborhood who benefit from how close the playground is to their homes. Nathan Rooney, 930 Cortland Drive, asked for more data on how all the parks are used so that he can advocate for keeping the playground at Duchess Park (or, at a minimum, maintaining it in its current state). Brenda Freier, 5841 139thStreet W, requested the playground at Moeller Park be kept as is rather than be replaced because she believes the current equipment is in good condition and she’s worried the new equipment will be worse than what currently exists at Moeller Park. Madeline Farrelly and Leighton Farrelly, two young residents, gave a personal appeal to save the playground at Chaparral Park for the sake of the young children in the neighborhood who can’t roam as far. Kristi Maxwell, 128 Chaparral Drive, advocated for keeping all neighborhood parks because they offer children a different form of play than technology. Jennifer Rogers, 14126 Garland Avenue, wished to advocate for replacing the playground at Scott Park. Since the summer meeting held in Scott Park, she has noticed that there are kids using the playground nearly every day. Desmond Farrelly, 149 Chaparral Drive, urged staff to consider the human element of neighborhood parks in addition to the raw data or what the map shows. Committee member Freed added that the hills and topography of the Chaparral neighborhood is challenging. Brad Blackett, 457 Reflection Road, asked why more money from the 2023 Parks Referendum wasn’t allocated to repair neighborhood parks and why the parks haven’t been taken care of through the capital improvement budget. Paul Coufal, 910 Redwood Circle, urged the City to keep the new Redwood park building simple and expressed that residents don’t need anything fancy. He also advocated to keep the playgrounds at Redwood South and Keller Park and mentioned that he feels staff have already made decisions. Chair Hiebert thanked the public for their comments and gave committee members a chance to comment. Committee members Freed, Long, and Hammill expressed appreciation for all the feedback and the level of engagement from the public. In response a comment made by Mr. Coufal, Committee member Bailey shared that he does not believe the City has already made decisions but that staff truly are listening to all feedback that’s been given thus far. Chair Hiebert agreed and reiterated how much the Committee cares about our parks and residents. - 2 of 4 - CITY OF APPLE VALLEY PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE November 21, 2024 Parks & Recreation Director Eric Carlson presented background information on the Parks Amenity Plan and explained the revisions staff are proposing to the Plan based on feedback received from the public. Revisions include keeping playgrounds at all parks that currently have a playground; providing options for tennis court replacements; expanding off-leash dog areas; removing lights for neighborhood tennis courts; and more. Committee member Long highlighted the need for strong communication with this new plan. Committee members Freed and Hiebert thanked staff for incorporating everyone’s feedback so thoroughly. ITEM 5.B. Agenda Items – Schedule Special Meeting Staff are recommending we cancel the November 7, 2024, meetings of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee and schedule special meetings (both informal and regular) on November 21, 2024. This will allow more time to receive feedback from the community on the revised Parks Amenity Plan before the Committee makes a formal recommendation.

Summary The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has been working on a Parks Amenity Planfor the Apple Valley Parks and Recreation System. The timeline for the process has been as follows: Early 2023 Plan and budget for referendum projects Fall 2023 Voters approve Parks Referendum Winter 2023–24 Destinationpark and facility projects underway; plan for neighborhood park improvements Spring/Summer 2024 Gather data and create Draft Parks Amenity Plan August–September Solicit community feedback on Draft Parks Amenity Plan 2024 October–November Revise plan; solicit community feedback on updated plan 2024 December 2024 Adopt Parks Amenity Plan Spring 2025–Fall 2029 Implement Parks Amenity Plan improvements Public engagement has been an important part of crafting the Parks Amenity Plan. The City launched a strategic public engagement initiative to gather community input on the Parks Amenity Plan, focusing on residents’ views on proposed park improvements. Public meetings held across 50 parks from late July through August 2024 attracted over 1,000 participants. Using Social Pinpoint, attendees shared 765 comments, which helped to refine the Plan. Residents also had a second opportunity to review a revised draft of the Plan, and the City collected another 200+ comments from Social Pinpoint to assist with further revisions to the Plan. The attached Parks Amenity Plan is based on significant input from Apple Valley residents. Key highlights of the Plan include: All parks that currently have a playground will continue to have a playground o Playgrounds will be classified as Local, Neighborhood, Community, Area, and Destination. o Playgrounds of allclassifications will be located across the community to providevariety and access for all residents. o Playgrounds will be removed from Alimagnet (East), Faith (Northwest), Redwood (North/South), Wallace (West), howevereach of these parks will still have one playground. Parks currently containing tennis courts will continue to have a single tennis court. o GreenleafNorth(2) and Hagemeister(4)will continue to havemultiple tennis courts. Parks currently containing basketball courts will continue to have basketball courts. o Cedar Knolls, Scott, and Wildwood will have basketball courts added. Pickleball (only) courts will be added to Cedar Knolls (2), Delaney, Farquar, Pennock, Redwood, Scott, and Wildwood. o An additional 6–10 courts will be added to the existing 8 courts at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West. Courts will be dual-striped for tennis/pickleball at Belmont, Greenleaf North, and Heritage. The 4 tennis courts at Hagemeister will continue to have lighting, and the lights at Scott will be removed. Lights will be added to 8 pickleball courts at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West. Greenleaf North Park and Greenleaf South Park will be designated as separate parks. The playground at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West will be replaced with a challenge course geared toward teens and young adults. Residents have requested pet waste stations, however the City does not plan to provide them in the park system. Working with the Engineering Department, storm water infiltration basins will be constructed at Greening, Pennock, and Duchess. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee can make recommended changes but ultimately should recommend a Parks Amenity Plan for City Council review and approval. We anticipate the following schedule: November 21, 2024PRAC MeetingApproval December 12, 2024 City Council InformalReview by Council December 26, 2024City Council MeetingApproval Once approved, staff will begin implementation of the Parks Amenity Plan, starting with projects slated for 2025. Background In November 2023, Apple Valley residents approved a parks referendum authorizing a total of $73.25 million to invest in parks, trails, natural resources, Kelley Park, Redwood Park, Hayes Arena, the Apple Valley Community Center and Senior Center, a youth baseball/softball complex at Hayes Park, and a community pool at Redwood Park. Of this total, $18,750,000 is dedicated to the improvements of parks, which includes playgrounds, trails, lighting, irrigation, tennis/basketball/pickleball courts, skate park, and parking lots.

City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 5 Jouspevdujpo Apple Valley’spark system is a cornerstone of the community’s well-being and plays a vital role in enhancing residents’ quality of life. As highlighted in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, parks are essential to the fabric of our community, and the City is committed to their stewardship. The Parks Amenity Plan aims to ensure Apple Valley parks meet not only current community needs but are also equipped to serve future generations by updating outdated equipment, replacing duplicative features where possible to diversify amenities, and implementing strategic improvements. In November 2023, voters approved $73,250,000 in bonds to support extensive park system improvements. Of this amount, $18,750,000 is allocated specifically for upgrading park amenities, including playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, pickleball courts, trails, parking lots, irrigation systems, lighting, and a skate park. To refine this vision, the city engaged residents in discussions about park enhancements. To begin this process, City staff developed a Draft Parks Amenity Plan using prior engagement and needs assessment data. Released for public feedback in July 2024, the draft plan received feedback through the online “Social Pinpoint” platform and a series of park meetings across Apple Valley’s 50 parks in late July through August 2024. More than 1,000 residents participated in the meetings, and 565 comments were submitted online. A second round of feedback produced more than 200 additional comments. The City used this valuable community input to reshape the draft plan into the Parks Amenity Plan.

The Parks Amenity Plan will provide a roadmap for the planned park improvements, ensuring they meet community needs and align with Apple Valley’s long-term vision. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 6 Hvjejoh!Qsjodjqmft This Parks Amenity Plan and its associated improvements are grounded in the guiding principleslisted below. These principles provide the framework for improving amenities described in this Parks Amenity Plan, and they also establish a strategy for implementing the Plan. 1.Community Gathering and Play Parks are vital spaces for community interaction and recreational activities. They should provide welcoming areas for residents to gather, play, and connect. 2.Accessibility to Playgrounds Every resident should have convenient access to a playground. The Parks Amenity Plan aims to ensure that all residents can reach a city playground within a half-mile walk (10 minutes) without crossing a major street (designated as Collector or higher in the City Transportation Plan). 3.Recognition of Park Uniqueness Each park has its own distinct character, influenced by its facilities, usage, and relationship to the surrounding neighborhood. The Parks Amenity Plan will acknowledge these differences and strive to tailor improvements to suit the needs and environment of each park. 4.Sustainability of Improvements Park improvements must be designed for long-term sustainability, which means meeting current community needs while also considering future demands. The Parks Amenity Plan may need to prioritize reducing redundant or excess amenities to maximize the effectiveness of available funds and ensure that park facilities can adapt to evolving community needs and be maintained with budgeted City resources in the future. 5.Essential Community Involvement Apple Valley residents have a strong sense of ownership and involvement in their parks, and therefore engaging residents in the improvement process is crucial for the success of Apple Valley’s parks. The City is committed to creating effective avenues for community input in the planning and design of park improvements, ensuring that enhancements reflect the desires and needs of the community. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 7 Cbdlhspvoe!Jogpsnbujpo The following key factors were all considered and guided the development ofthisParks Amenity Plan. Many ofApple Valley’s playgroundswere installed in the 1990s. Over the past 20 to 30 years, playground design and safety and accessibility requirements have evolved, and the cost of manufacturing and installing playground equipment has risen significantly. In addition to the capital costs of park amenity replacements, there are ongoing maintenance costs (including labor, replacement parts, and more) that must also be considered. Each new amenity introduces long-term operational demands. Playgrounds, for example, typically need replacement every 25 years due to changing safety requirements, equipment wear, and evolving trends in playground design. Effective planning for the future begins with a clear understanding of existing conditions, and therefore a profile of each park was prepared. The profile contains an inventory of amenities and other facilities in the park, the date existing amenities were installed, and other information relevant to planning for future amenities. These profiles, which cover all 50 parks in Apple Valley, can be found in Appendix A of this plan. ! Apple Valley offers more park amenities per capita than neighboring cities, and residents value and support the upkeep of these amenities. At the same time, the City remains mindful of its fiscal responsibility to thoughtfully consider opportunities to repurpose underutilized amenities to better meet community needs. By balancing the community’s desires with practical resource management, the City aims to maintain a vibrant and sustainable park system for the future. Demographic information gathered from Apple Valley’s neighboring communities is displayed here for reference.

This Parks Amenity Plan focuses specifically on playgrounds, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and basketball courts, however, other necessary improvements must be completed using referendum funds (including repairs and/or replacement of trails, parking lots, irrigation systems, lighting systems, etc.). Given the fixed available budget, the City is focused on making the most effective use of these funds to benefit parks citywide. The table below outlines how the approved bond funding is allocated across various categories of park improvements. Qbsl!Sfgfsfoevn!Jnqspwfnfou!Cvehfu! Question 1 “Shall the City of Apple Valley be authorized to issue its general obligation bonds, in an amount not to exceed $66,750,000.00, to provide funds for (i) the improvement of the city’s park system and facilities, improvements to existing recreational trails and the construction of new recreational trails and the preservation of natural resources, (ii) improvements to the Apple Valley Community Center/Apple Valley Senior & Events Center, the Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center, the Hayes Arena, and (iii) the construction of a youth baseball/softball complex.” Investment Preservation of park system assets (playgrounds, courts, skate park, etc.) $16,750,000 Trails $2,000,000 Apple Valley Community Center and Senior Center $10,600,000 Redwood Park $9,600,000 Kelley Park $8,600,000 Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center $8,200,000 Youth baseball/softball complex $5,200,000 Hayes Arena $3,900,000 Natural resources $2,000,000 Question 2 “If City of Apple Valley Question 1 is approved, shall the City of Apple Valley be authorized to issue its general obligation bonds, in an amount not to exceed $6,500,000.00, to provide funds for construction of a municipal swimming pool and related facilities at Redwood Park.” Redwood Community Pool $6,500,000 Total $73,250,000 Qbsl!Bnfojuz!Jnqspwfnfou!Cvehfu! A total of $16,750,000 in referendum funds has been allocated for park improvements and $2,000,000 has been allocated for trail improvements. Additionally, the City received State and Federal grants, which brings the amount of available funds to invest in park improvements across the entire park system to $23,400,000. The estimated breakdown of this budget isillustrated in the table below. Park Amenity Improvement BudgetInvestment Playgrounds $5,000,000 Basketball courts $500,000 Tennis courts $2,800,000 Backstops $1,300,000 Parking lots $2,200,000 City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 9 Pickleball courts at Johnny Cake Ridge ParkWest$1,000,000 Skate Park at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West$1,000,000 Park signage $1,000,000 Lighting $1,700,000 Trails $2,800,000 Irrigation $1,200,000 Miscellaneous $400,000 Consultant fees for planning, engineering, architecture, etc.$2,500,000 Total$23,400,000 The framework provided by this Plan allows the City to prepare cost estimates and conduct more detailed planning for implementation of park improvements. The City launched a strategic public engagement process to gather input on the Draft Parks Amenity Plan, focusing on residents’ perspectives on proposed improvements. Meetings were held in late July through August 2024 in each of the 50 parks and attracted over 1,000 participants, with a few meetings relocated to the Apple Valley Senior & Event Center due to inclement weather. Attendees were encouraged to use Social Pinpoint to share their thoughts, review comments from others, and react to others’ comments using a thumbs up or thumbs down. The City collected 565 comments from Social Pinpoint and has used this valuable feedback to refine the plan. The City collected another 200+ comments from Social Pinpoint to assist with further revisions to the plan. Key insights from public feedback include: Playground Equipment: Residents emphasized the importance of retaining and updating playground equipment in park locations that currently have equipment. Basketball Courts: There is a desire for basketball courts, ideally with hoops at both ends. Tennis Courts: Many residents expressed the need for neighborhood tennis courts access to ensure easy access for tennis enthusiasts. Pickleball: As a growing sport, residents requested neighborhood access to pickleball courts. Sand Volleyball Courts: Feedback indicated that sand volleyball courts are less popular than other park amenities. Off-Leash Pet Areas: Residents expressed interest in increasing designated off-leash pet areas. Environmental Protection: There is a strong commitment among residents to continue protecting and enhancing the natural environment. These insights will help the City make targeted improvements to local parks to meet the needs and preferences of the community. Park amenities must be reasonably accessible on foot. This is especially true for playgrounds that are used by small children. As an initial benchmark, the City strives to have a playground within a half mile of every resident (which equates roughly to a 10-minute walk). The map in Appendix B shows the accessible walking area surrounding each playground. At first glance, this map shows a large collection of overlapping circles. This may imply that areas of the city exceed the benchmark and have multiple playgrounds in close proximity. However, for many areas, the circles do not fairly show accessibility. Practical access is limited by busier streets, difficult topography, or other land use factors. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 10 Qmbzhspvoe!Qmbo Through the public engagementprocess, Apple Valley residents have indicated a strong desire to have easy access to playground equipment. The Parks Amenity Plan maintains playground access that residents have come to expect in Apple Valley. Different types and sizes of playgrounds will be geographically distributed around the city so residents will have access to a variety of playground equipment. To evaluate playground distribution, the city has been divided into Park Service Areas (Appendix E). Park Service Areas are demarcated by busy roadways or natural barriers to access, are approximately one square mile in size, and have relatively similar populations. Each Park Service Area will contain a minimum level of service related to playgrounds and other amenities. This Parks Amenity Plan establishes five classifications of playgrounds: local, neighborhood, area, community, and destination. Each playground within the city will receive a classification. These classifications describe the basic function of the playground in the overall park system and set the standard for other amenities that may be found in the parks that contain playgrounds of each classification. Local Playgrounds Function: Serve immediate neighborhoods with fundamental recreational needs. Other amenities found with local playgrounds: Benches, open space, and basic landscaping. Neighborhood Playgrounds Function: Serve the recreational needs of residents within a specific neighborhood. Other amenities found with neighborhood playgrounds: Trail connections, sports courts (tennis, basketball, pickleball), open spaces, and natural features. Area Playgrounds Function: Provide recreational facilities for a broader area that serves multiple neighborhoods. Other amenities found with area playgrounds: All amenities found with neighborhood playgrounds plus additional amenities such as ballfields, skating rinks, and fields for sports such as soccer and lacrosse. Community Playgrounds Function: Serve the entire city or large portions of it. Other amenities found with community playgrounds: Comprehensive recreational facilities, including those found with neighborhood playgrounds plus large open spaces, specialized sports facilities, and extensive natural features. Parks with community playgrounds offer a wide range of amenities to accommodate diverse recreational needs. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 11 Destination Playgrounds Function: Attract visitors from beyond the local area and offer unique or specialized equipment. Other amenities found with destination playgrounds: Unique facilities or attractions such as splash pad, community pool, major event spaces, and specialized recreational features. Apple Valley’s playgrounds will be classified as such: Local Playgrounds (16 total) Apple Valley East Park Heritage Park Chaparral ParkKeller Park Cobblestone Lake Park (S) Long Lake Park Cobblestone Lake Park (SE) Newell Park Duchess ParkNordic Park Greening ParkScott Park Greenleaf North ParkSunset Park Hayes ParkTintah Park Neighborhood Playgrounds (23 total) Apple Grove ParkGreenleaf South Park Apple Ponds ParkHagemeister Park Belmont ParkHuntington Park Briar Oaks ParkLac Lavon Park Carrollwood ParkLongridge Park Cedar Isle ParkMoeller Park Cobblestone Lake Park (N)Palomino Park Embry Path ParkRegatta Park Faith ParkSummerfield Park Findlay ParkWallace Park Fred J.

Figure 1 shows the distribution of playground classifications across Apple Valley. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 12 All new playground equipment installed, regardless of classification, will comply with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). Benches, picnic tables, the concrete sidewalk around the playground structure, and engineered wood fiber fill will be standardized among playgrounds within each classification. Some of the playgrounds will incorporate poured in place rubber in part or in whole. The table below contains the schedule for the replacement of playgrounds. Parks denoted with an asterisk are special cases, and more information about them can be found in the Special Cases section. For a visual representation of this schedule, see Figure 2. As the City implements playground replacements over the next five years, residents will have an opportunity to help select some of the components of each new playground prior to installation.

Erickson Park Valley Middle Park The following parks have multiple playgrounds in the park. After the implementation of this Parks Amenity Plan, each park will have a single playground (details listed in the table above). Therefore, due to the proximity of another playground in the same park, this Plan does not include replacing the current playgrounds at the following five parks at end of their useful life: Alimagnet Park (east) Faith Park (northwest) Redwood Park (north) Redwood Park (south)Wallace Park (west) The existing playground at Hayes Park will be relocated within Hayes Park as part of the expansion of the Apple Valley Community Center and Senior Center. A destination inclusive playground will be built at Redwood Park as part of the Redwood Park project. A destination playground and new splash pad will be built at Kelley Park as part of the Kelley Park project. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 15 Ufoojt!boe!Qjdlmfcbmm!Dpvsu!Qmbo! Through the public participation process, Apple Valley residents indicated a desire to have tennis courts and pickleball courts located all throughout the city. Several options have been developed that would provide easy access to tennis and pickleball courts by using the footprint of the tennis courts that currently exist in each park. Depending on their condition and the replacement option chosen, the courts will either be reconstructed or resurfaced. It is important to note that pickleball can produce noise that may impact residents living near a court. As residents evaluate their options, potential noise impacts should be considered. There are currently eight pickleball courts at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West (JCRPW). The City plans to construct an additional six to ten courts at JCRPW in 2025. The City’s past adverse experiences with pickleball courts too close to residential homes have driven the current plan to focus multiple pickleball courts at the Johnny Cake Ridge Park West facility. This location provides ample parking to support the increase in usage and is far enough away from homes to ensure minimal disruption to area residents. The City plans to add lighting to the pickleball courts at Johnny Cake Ridge Park West, and the existing tennis court lighting at Hagemeister Park and Scott Park will be removed. Listed below are options for the replacement of existing tennis courts. For a visual representation of these options, see Appendix D. Option 1 – Dual-Striped Tennis/Pickleball Court One dual-striped single court with tennis and pickleball lines featuring a green surface, white tennis court lines, and blue pickleball court lines. (Total footprint: 120 ft x 60 ft) Option 2 – Pickleball/Basketball Court One pickleball court (60 ft x 30 ft) and one basketball court (60 ft x 60 ft) with a hoop on each end. Both courts will have a green surface and white lines. (Total footprint: 90 ft x 60 ft) Option 3 – Tennis/Pickleball/Basketball Court One tennis court (120 ft x 60 ft), two pickleball courts (60 ft x 30 ft), and a basketball court (60 ft x 60 ft) with a hoop on each end. All courts will have a green surface and white lines. (Total footprint: 120 ft x 120 ft) Option 4 – Tennis/Pickleball/Basketball Court One tennis court (120 ft x 60 ft), one pickleball court (60 ft x 30 ft), and a basketball court (90 ft x 60 ft) with a hoop on each end. All courts will have a green surface and white lines. (Total footprint: 120 ft x 120 ft) Option 7 – Dual-Striped Tennis/Pickleball Court(s) Two dual-striped double court with tennis and pickleball lines featuring a green surface, white tennis court lines, and blue pickleball court lines.

Two options have been developed for residents to choose from. Depending on their condition and the replacement option chosen, the courts will either be reconstructed or resurfaced. Listed below are options for the replacement of existing basketball courts. For a visual representation of these options, see Appendix D. Option 5 – Larger Court with Two Hoops One larger court (60 ft x 60 ft) with a basketball hoop on both ends. The court will have a green surface with white lines. This larger court, while not technically full-size, enables the ability to play smaller-scale games while accommodating space limitations of the parkland. A court with two hoops may invite more competitive play or pickup games, as it is designed for multiple teams or players to engage in a game. Option 6 – Smaller Court with One Hoop One smaller court (40 ft x 40 ft) with a basketball hoop on one end. The court will have a green surface with white lines. A smaller court of this size is considered standard at playgrounds throughout the country. It is well suited for practicing fundamentals and playing one-on-one or even three-on-three games. A court with a single hoop may be more conducive for casual play or family activities, where the focus is less on competition and more on spending time together.

The City of Apple Valley is not proposing to eliminate any parks or reduce parkland. We are evaluating amenities at all Apple Valley parks to understand how they are distributed throughout the city and used by residents. We are proposing to recognize Greenleaf North as a park and Greenleaf South as a separate park. This will actually increase our park count from 49 to 50 parks. What will the City do with the playground equipment that is removed? The City expects to keep some equipment for parts, dispose of some equipment, and donate the remaining equipment (approximately 60%) to a non-profit organization called Kids Around the World. Kids Around the World refurbishes old playground equipment and ships it to countries in need for use at no cost to the City. Will the City provide additional garbage, recycling, and pet waste containers in the parks? Dakota County regulations stipulate that the City must pair garbage and recycling containers together. The City will continue to provide access to both throughout the park system. The City has not pursued the addition of pet waste stations based on the capital cost of purchasing the roughly 100–150 stations that would be needed and the operational expense of filling the stations with pet waste bags each week. The City requires pet owners to be responsible for carrying bags with them and disposing of pet waste in the appropriate trash container in the park or at their own residence. What is the City planning for trees and natural areas? The City has been removing all dead and diseased ash trees in the maintained areas of our parks, and the City will complete this removal project by the end of 2025. The City will replace trees removed from the parks with more diverse tree species to improve the urban forest. How do I share my feedback, suggestions, and concerns with staff? Contact Parks & Recreation Director Eric Carlson at eric.carlson@applevalleymn.gov or (952) 953-2310. What are the next steps for this plan? The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee will review this Parks Amenity Plan and recommend for City Council approval on November 21, at 7pm. The City Council will review and adopt the Plan in December 2024. The City will implement these improvements beginning in 2025.

After 4–5 years of NRMP implementation, the City will work with the community to determine future trail networks in the park. Trails will be improved to meet current ADA standards. Trees/Natural Area A Natural Resource Management Plan (NRMP) has been created for the park. The goals of the plan include: Maintain natural areas Expand ecological restoration and management Monitor progress of restoration activities Evaluate the pros and cons of disc golf and its use in the park The NRMP will take several years to implement and conditions in the park may appear unkept in the early years as we work to remove invasive species.

Here's an outline of the key elements of the proposed complex: 1. Four Natural Turf Fields: The complex will feature four high-quality turf fields. Turf provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that allows for extended play throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. It also reduces the risk of field damage from heavy use or rain, ensuring more consistent and reliable scheduling for games and practices. 2. Covered Dugouts: Each field will include covered dugouts to provide shelter for players and coaches from sun, rain, and other weather conditions. These dugouts will enhance player comfort and safety while contributing to a professional atmosphere for youth games. 3. Lighting for Night Games: Installing modern field lighting will allow for extended play hours, making it possible to host games and practices after sunset. This feature increases the flexibility of scheduling and can help accommodate busy family and school schedules. 4. 210-Foot Fences: Each field will have approximately 210-foot outfield fences, creating appropriate field dimensions for youth baseball and softball. This provides an optimal environment for young players to develop their skills and play competitively. 5. Replacing Existing Fields at Westview Elementary: The new complex at Hayes Park will replace the current fields at Westview Elementary School, providing an upgraded experience with better facilities, turf surfaces, and modern amenities. This complex will not only be a top-tier venue for local games and practices but could also attract regional tournaments, helping build a stronger sense of community around youth sports in Apple Valley. With these improvements, the complex will become a focal point for young athletes and their families. City of Apple Valley – Parks Amenity Plan 47 Apple Valley To enhance the Apple Valley Community Center and Senior & Event Center, the Community proposal includes several key improvements to better serve the community: Center/Apple Valley Senior Center 1. Expanded Coffee Lounge for Seniors: Creating a larger, inviting space where seniors can socialize, relax, and enjoy a coffee break. This lounge could feature comfortable seating, natural lighting, and an updated design that encourages interaction among visitors. 2. Additional Program Space: Increasing the number of multi-purpose rooms to accommodate a variety of activities, from workshops to arts and crafts, ensuring there’s enough space for expanded programming and special events. 3. Fitness Space: Adding or expanding the fitness center to offer modern equipment, more group exercise rooms, and fitness classes tailored to different age groups. This promotes a healthy lifestyle for both seniors and the broader community. 4. Indoor Playground for Families: Building an indoor playground that caters to families with young children, providing a safe, year-round play space. This playground could incorporate soft play structures, interactive features, and areas for parents to watch and engage with their kids. 5. Upgraded Meeting Rooms and Lobby Areas: Modernizing the meeting rooms with updated technology (e.g., projectors, sound systems, and Wi-Fi) and comfortable furnishings. The lobby could also receive a facelift with more seating, improved signage, and an open layout that makes navigation easier. 6. Unification of the Buildings: Joining the Community Center and Senior Center into one building would create a seamless experience for visitors, allowing for shared resources and improved accessibility. The design should maintain distinct areas for each group while facilitating easy interaction and movement between spaces. These updates will help create a more welcoming, versatile, and functional environment for people of all ages in the Apple Valley community.

The following are the key components of the proposed improvements: 1. Inclusive Playground: The playground will be designed to be accessible to children of all abilities, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the space. It will include adaptive play equipment, soft surfaces, and features that promote interaction and imaginative play, fostering an inclusive environment for kids and families. 2. New Shelter Building with Restrooms: A new shelter building will be constructed, offering a shaded area for picnics, gatherings, and community events. The building will include modern restrooms, improving convenience and comfort for park visitors. 3. Tennis/Pickleball Courts: The plan includes the addition of courts for both tennis and pickleball, offering more recreational opportunities for visitors. These courts will be multi-use and available for casual play or organized community leagues. 4. Hammock Area: A designated hammock area will provide a relaxing space for visitors to unwind, read, or socialize. This unique feature encourages a leisurely atmosphere within the park, appealing to a wide range of age groups. 5. On-Site Parking: The plan includes expanding on-site parking to improve accessibility, making it easier for visitors to enjoy the park’s amenities without the inconvenience of parking off-site. 6. Pedestrian Tunnel Under County Road 42: Although the tunnel is part of a broader County Road 42 improvement project funded by Dakota County, it will be seamlessly integrated into the Redwood Park Master Plan. This pedestrian tunnel will ensure safe access for park visitors, especially children and families, by providing a secure crossing under the busy roadway. The City of Apple Valley and Dakota County are working together to coordinate the tunnel’s design and placement. 7. New Community Pool. The existing pool will be replaced with a new pool that will have zero depth entry, diving, climbing, and relaxation areas. These upgrades will significantly improve the functionality, inclusivity, and appeal of Redwood Park, making it a welcoming space for families, athletes, and individuals looking for both active and relaxing recreational options. The enhancements align with the community’s vision to create a more engaging and accessible park experience for all residents.

Summary PRAC members are encouraged to provide feedback related to the youth baseball/softball complex. The design includes the following elements: Four (4) new fields in a wheel with new backstops, fencing, lights, and dugouts Lighting the U13 baseball field in the NW corner of the park Irrigated natural turf Athletic field lighting/scoreboards Additional parking Paved trails Stormwater retention basin Irrigated flexible field space appropriate for football, soccer, and lacrosse Removal of outdoor skating facilities We continue to work on a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with ISD 196 and plan to have that approved by the end of 2024. We are also working on plans for the new VAA storage building that will replace the existing building as we make room for additional onsite parking. Background Apple Valley residents voted in November 2023 to approve a parks referendum that will direct $73.25 million toward upgrading various community facilities. These investments include enhancing parks, trails, natural resources, Kelley Park, Redwood Park, Hayes Arena, the Apple Valley Community Center and Senior Center, creating a youth baseball/softball complex at Hayes Park, and replacing the community pool at Redwood Park. Of this funding, $5.2 million is earmarked specifically for a youth baseball/softball complex. Planned improvements at Hayes/Westview Elementary include four fields in a wheel that have lighting, irritation, scoreboards, parking, paved trails, and other upgrades. This substantial investment reflects the community’s commitment to enhancing recreational and accessible amenities for residents of all ages and abilities.
