From:Margo Hunt To:Adam Edwards Subject:Long Lake Rowing Crew Boathouse 2 Date:Tuesday, February 25, 2020 3:37:33 PM To: Orono Parks Commission Without a doubt, adding a Long Lake Rowing Crew (LLRC) Boathouse will have a profound and positive impact on the Long Lake community and its neighboring communities. The long-term commitment that LLRC and the Boathouse brings are many. The boathouse will give everyone in the area access to the sport of rowing and access to Long Lake. Providing an opportunity for health and fitness in a low impact setting with high results for all ages in the community and beyond. Communities and neighborhoods benefit greatly from public spaces that include unique regional features such as boathouses. LLRC is committed to be good steward of Long Lake, its water quality and shoreline preservation, (as rowing shells are quiet and no-wake boats.) The LLRC Boathouse will provide public restrooms for Summit Park, a much needed improvement and will improve everyone’s visit to Summit Park. The presence of the LLRC Boathouse will discourage unwanted activities at the park and offer the sport of rowing to all. Rowing can change lives by promoting fitness, teamwork, leadership and more. As stated in our club vision and mission... We strive to be the most all-inclusive, fun, and competitive rowing club in the Twin Cities, committed to providing expert instruction, promoting personal and competitive achievement, and enriching our members and community through the sport of rowing. We hope this encourages the residents and the Orono Park Commission to get involved in an extraordinary opportunity! Again, LLRC is committed to community service and having the LLRC Boathouse will make an immeasurable positive impact on the city of Long Lake and the Orono Park System.
