2006 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan - City of Lakeville

Desirable Size in Acres:
Varies by function and facility type
Primary Function/User Groups: Areas are for single-purpose recreation activities
whose use requires a freestanding facility because of
specific parcel characteristics or incompatibility with
other recreational areas. Uses typical of this special
designation include golf courses, nature centers,
conservatories, arboretums, gardens, fishing piers,
amphitheaters, downhill ski areas, or frisbee golf.
Locations will be dictated by the use’s specific needs
for unusual physical characteristics such as
topography, water features, vegetation or soils; or
those uses which need to be buffered or kept
independent of developed areas.

Historic Sites
The primary opportunity for formal designation of a site with historical or cultural
significance is the Lakeville Area Arts Center (formerly the All Saints Church). As such,
classification for these types of facilities is established should this effort be pursued or
other sites are identified for potential designation. The Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Advisory Committee should work collectively with the Lakeville Historical
Society and the Dakota County Historical Society to facilitate identification and
designation of potentially significant historical sites within the Community.
