#12 Elmcrest Park Entrance Improvements $25,000 <br /> <br />General Fund dollars are proposed for the signage of the entrance to this park. Grant <br />monies may also be available to expand the scope of the project. <br /> <br />2006 <br /> <br />#13 Ford Brook Playstructure Replacement <br /> <br />$70,000 <br /> <br />Like some other parks in the northern fringe of Ramsey's Recreational District's, Ford <br />Brook Park has not seen significant capital investment since it's original construction, <br />decades ago. <br />This playequipment replacement continues Ramsey's program of bringing the structures <br />into compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines. <br /> <br />#14 Golf Course <br /> <br />$2,700,000 <br /> <br />A 9-hole, 3 par golf course has been proposed for the property North of Sunwood Drive <br />and northeast of Co. Rd. 116. The land in question includes a remnant Oak Savannah, <br />interspersed with wetlands. The project first originated as a way to preserve this natural <br />resource - and at the same time generate a financial return for the city. [Currently the <br />property is owned by the MPCA, is largely unused and is tax-exempt]. <br />The project would preserve one of the few tracts of woodlands in this vicinity of the city, <br />protect some open space, add an economic development aspect to the park system - and <br />of course increase recreational opportunities. <br />A detailed feasibility study should occur prior to this investment. <br /> <br />#15 Roller Sports Facilities at Central Park or at the School <br /> <br />$75,000 <br /> <br />For two consecutive years, a request has been made for a dedicated skateboard area in <br />Ramsey. Utilizing a paved rink at Central Park provides year-round use of the features <br />already in place, such as lighting, separation from other uses [the 200' x 85' rink boards], <br />and the warminghouse which could be staffed by an attendant. <br />Within the timeframe of the next few years, the city can evaluate other cities facilities for <br />problems and determine if the 'fad' is still popular. <br />[The reader of this proposed CIP will note that trail connections projected earlier in the <br />plan, make the above improvement even more accessible for the age of user typically <br />seeking this type of opportunity]. <br /> <br />#16 Redevelopment of Hunters Hill Park <br /> <br />$200,000 <br /> <br />2007 <br /> <br />#16 Trott Brook Trail Corridor Construction $2,015,000 <br /> <br /> <br />
