C. RAMSEY TERRACE LINEAR An isolated park of 4.6 acres, located in the planned urban district zone, this area should be expanded to the east. This would gain control over a fairly large drainage pond, and thus complete a passive park area with better access from 142nd Avenue N.W., in addition to the present access point on Junkite Street. Currently, of the 4.6 acres, approximately two acres are usable and partially developed with some playground equipment, picnic table, grill and bench. This small area is sloped and hilly, making any additional development nearly impossible. The area to the north should be also considered for acqui- sition because.it is marked by trails winding through a heavily wooded hilly area and it abuts a large natural pond. Gaining shoreland park would be a valuable asset to the community. As the urban district is developed, this shoreland trail area could be developed with access, park- ing and additional facilities, like pedestrian, jogging, and bicycle paths interspersed with picnic areas and unstruc- tured play areas. With this additional land, Ramsey Terrace would soon become one of the nicest parks in the City and surrounding area. Proposal Consideration should be given to connecting this park to the park located at Ramsey Elementary School for a nature trails. E. TITTERUD PARK NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYFIELD This park contains 7.17 acres located between Ramsey Boule- vard on the east and Jaspar Street N.W. on the west. Because this site is located with good access, it is being developed with a ballfield, two tennis courts and a picnic area. Proposal A child's tot lot should be added to this site with play- ground apparatus. Parking lots should be blacktopped and backstops installed for the ballfields. A small shelter . area should be constructed. F. PELTZER NEIGHBORHOOD PLAY AREAS This 11.9 acre site probably has the most potential at present for becoming the nicest passive area in the City. The park is partially developed -- with only some play- ground equipment, picnic tables, grills and benches. 81
