Stone Creek Park Update
Congratulations! You successfully endured the chaos of an association playground installation!
The neighborhood performed extremely well. Dean Schmieg, Park Foreman and his crew will
continue to follow up on the project until its completion.
Here is the "scoop" on the remaining elements of the project:
· Dean is coordinating site analysis regarding the hillside slide with E.F.A. this week.
· E.F.A. will deliver and install the hillside slide by the week of September 23.
· We are waiting on a few remaining parts for the main structure.
· The asphalt "access paths" will be completed within 3-4 weeks.
· The city will fine grade and seed the park in mid-September.
· The timing of the trail connection and pedestrian bridge construction to the north is unknown.
· A park sign, picnic tables, and a bench (for viewing playground) will be delivered and
installed in the spring of 1997.
· The basketball court and hoop will be installed in the spring/summer of 1997.
Again, thank you for all your assistance in coordinating the development of the Stone Creek
Neighborhood Park. Our time together has been a very positive experience for me.

SUB J: Installation Dates
Mark your calendar! Monday through Wednesday, August 5, 6, and 7 are the installation dates
for the Stone Creek Playground. Hans Hagen Homes completed rough grading on July 23. The
City will follow with finish grading and site prep for the playground and basketball court.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: 3 to 4 feet of fill material was placed at the site of the basketball court.
This fill will settle and precludes us from installing the asphalt surface this year. The court,
however, will be sub cut and "rooked". The site will then be allowed to settle prior to asphalting
next year). A Parks crew member will work with the group on August 5 to assist in auguring
post holes.

LAKE.MINNE NASHTA AREA PARK
The,west Lake Mini~ewasht~ neighborhood is now home to
Roundhouse Park. The 8 acre site is located at the northwest
intersection.of Minnewashta Pkwy. & Kings Rd. The "round
house" on the property will be renovated as a warming house/
park building. A neighborhood focus group is currently working
on _a park master plan for the site.
The land for this park was acquired from Harstad
Companies as a condition of approval for their Oaks at
Minnewashta development. Harstad dedicated 1.8 acres of land
and the city purchased the' ren~aining 6.2 acres at a cost of
$186,0001The money used to finance this purchase was
collected from park dedication fees. These fees are paid on new
residential, commercial, and industrial construction. An
additional allocation of $70,000 in park dedication dollars may
be invested in "initial improvements" this year. The Park &
Recreation Commission has tentatively set aside $50,000 for
continued, improvements in 1997.
If you have questions about.this project or would like to hetp work
on the park, please call a member of the neighborhood park group.
