Existing Recreational Facilities <br />in the <br />City of Ramsey <br />By: Ryan 0-Neill, Steven Lorbiecki, <br />Alex Wolter, and Tyler Anderson -Wright <br />Area of Interest <br />When evaluating the current recreational facilities that are usable for residents in the City of <br />Ramsey, we first had to determine the distance that someone would reasonably drive to reach <br />their desired facility and access the programming they need. From experience, we determined <br />that a 15 minute drive from the center of the city would be a reasonable distance for someone to <br />travel for recreation. <br />• More than 15-20 Minutes is unreasonable to travel for a specific recreation opportunity <br />• Less than 15 minutes is primarily within Ramsey city limits, limiting the variety of <br />recreation opportunities and facilities available <br />By setting this driving limit, we were able to evaluate exactly what facilities exist and what <br />gaps there may be in both the types of facilities available and the programming provided at those <br />facilities. In Figure 1 you can see the area that is included in the 15 minute driving distance from <br />the center of the city. This includes sections of Elk River, Nowthen, Oak Grove, Andover, <br />Champlin, Coon Rapids and of course Ramsey. <br />Elk River <br />- Road <br />Area .m15 mire. of Ine canter <br />Ana not.. 15 minutes of the center°, town <br />N <br />A 0 1.75 3.5 7 <br />Mlles <br />rol=wnlea: Foaaa, 2ota census riacee <br />Mahan 30E30tsa <br />Figure 1: Map of 15-minute drive time from the Center of Ramsey <br />21 <br />
