Possibly paving the north half of the existing parking lot with bituminous <br />pavement and leaving the southern end as is (gravel). The bituminous could be extended in <br />the future if desired. A raingarden was also desired to help address the roadway runoff into <br />the parking lot. <br />d. Playground <br />There was little or no interest in a traditional play structure within the park. The strong public <br />desire to protect and save existing trees and open space within the park limits the possibility of <br />adding a playground structure. Based on these conditions, the steering committee feels a <br />playground (natural or traditional) does not fit within the park master plan. <br />e. Canoe Launch <br />There is interest in adding an additional canoe rack near the existing canoe launch area. Based <br />on public support for a small dock and input regarding previous fishing/swimming conflicts, the <br />steering committee would support the addition of a small dock located at the existing canoe <br />launch area. <br />f. Picnic Tables <br />Public and steering committee input regarding picnic tables was positive. Look for <br />opportunities to upgrade the existing picnic tables along the beach and an informal seating <br />area along the north side of the hill. <br />g. Winter Activities (skate rink, warming house, trails) <br />There was strong support for an ice rink from Open house attendees with an option for either a <br />temporary warming house or small structure as long as it did not impact the existing trees. <br />Plowed trails were also wanted on the lake if possible. <br />h. Interpretive Signage (history?) <br />The addition of interpretive panels was brought up and discussed during the second open <br />house. There was interest in possibly using this as an opportunity to provide historical <br />background to the park. <br />i. Others?? <br /> <br />5. Review Project Flowchart <br />a.
