Chanhassen is a Community for Life-Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow
directly adjacent to the recently approved Foxwood Subdivision and is one quarter mile directly
west of Bandimere Park, a 45-acre actively programmed community ball field facility.
Development of public access points to the Fox Woods Park Preserve, through a combination of
vehicle and pedestrian touch points, as well as the installation of a series of nature trails within
the preserve, will begin concurrent with the development of the Foxwood Subdivision (Wilson
Nursery) and future development to the south.
This evening, Mr. Jeff Deitner, Landscape Architect with WSB and Associates, will present the
work completed to create the Fox Woods Preserve Concept Master Plan, including design
process, site inventory and analysis, concept master plan development, a preliminary phase I
development plan, and park signage concepts.
