SUBJ: Lake Ann Park Summer Update
The summer of 2017 is upon us and brings a sense of excitement along with it. Lake Ann Park
plays a vital role in that excitement.
The concession building will open Memorial Day weekend and the hours of operation are:
Memorial Day Weekend, May 27 — August 20
Open 7 days per week from 11 am — 7 pm
The concession manager will coordinate work schedules, order supplies, and take care of the
day-to-day operations. The revenues from the 2016 season were very strong and it is staff's goal
to continue that momentum.
Staff is happy to announce that paddleboards will be available for rent again this summer. The
city and Twin City Paddleboard have reached an agreement to provide eight paddleboards. City
staff will coordinate all rentals and revenue will be shared.
Staff has been busy processing picnic requests and many weekends are already booked; however,
some openings remain. It is projected that approximately 120+ picnics will be scheduled, which
will generate over $16,000 in revenue. The covered shelters at Lake Ann and Lake Susan remain
popular.
The beach at Lake Ann will open Saturday, June 3. The city is contracting with Minnetonka
Aquatics again this year for the lifeguard services. The beach will remain open daily until August
13 from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm, weather permitting.
Lake Ann Park will be a busy place again this summer. Considering all of its amenities, staff is
looking forward to providing a first-rate operation.
