N. AUTUMN HEIGHTS - NEIGHBORHOOD PARK <br /> <br />This park encompasses approximately 52 acres, the majority of which is Iow <br />lying wetland area along Trott Brook. Along with this open space, however, <br />there are two parcels which are developable as neighborhood park. One parcel <br />of approximately three acres is situated west of Armstrong Blvd. and south <br />of 167th Lane. This is currently undeveloped. The second developable parcel <br />lies east of Armstrong Blvd. with access from Nutria Street. This parcel is <br />approximately seven acres and has been developed as a neighborhood park. <br />Since 1989, a softball field, totlot, landscaping and parking area have been <br />developed. <br /> <br />Additional park facilities planned for the east parcel includes additional <br />landscaping, paving of the parking area and picnic facilities. The primary <br />emphasis with the remainder of the park land will be to link the Trott Brook <br />trail through this area. The trail treadways may have widely separated <br />alignments for a paved or crushed lime stone path and the turf path in order <br />to take advantage of high ground in the park. A unique feature of this <br />subdivision is the opportunity to link the neighborhood with the City trail <br />system by use of trails within the development itself. <br /> <br />COUNTRYSIDE PARK - NEIGHBORHOOD PARK <br /> <br />This park is approximately five acres situated in the northwest part of the City <br />north of 173rd Avenue with access off of Rabbit Street. At present, the <br />parcel is relatively featureless with sandy soils. No development has yet been <br />undertaken on this park, however, a totlot is planned for installation in 1991. <br /> <br />Proposed future development includes a ballfield, picnic facilities and parking <br />area. <br /> <br />ITASCA PARK - COMMUNITY PARK <br /> <br />This park is to be dedicated to the City under North Fork's development <br />agreement with the City. As proposed, a 35 acre parcel abuts an undeveloped <br />11.9 acre wetland area within the park system for a total of 46 acres. This <br />park is proposed to be developed as a passive park oriented towards <br />picnicking, hiking, biking, nature and wildlife observation, and support <br />facilities. The park will also provide an activity node with trails emanating <br />towards the north tying into the Trott Brook trail, to the southwest tying into <br />the Mississippi River Corridor Trails to the south/southeast, and to the east <br />tying into Traprock Commons. <br /> <br />38 <br /> <br /> <br />
