Policies - Community Parks: 1. The active recreation facilities provided in a community park may include, but are not limited to, picnic shelters, ballfields, hard surface courts, play equipment, fishing, archery, swimming areas, restrooms, and multiple use buildings. 2. The passive recreation facilities provided in a community park may include, but are not limited to, trails, picnic areas, nature/culture interpretation sites, boating access, fishing and landscape plantings. 3. Location of community parks should capitalize upon lakes, rivers, wetlands, wooded areas and vistas. 4. Facilities shall be sized and developed to accommodate large crowds and peak events. Community festivals, events and holidays should be considered in locating and planning the parks. 5. Community parks are to be highly visible from major streets and shall include parking lot and trail lighting for facility security. Standards - Community Playfields: 1. Areas designed for organized or informal athletic activities which utilize both lighted and unlighted athletic fields and court facilities shall be designated as community playfields. 2. Community playfields shall be not less than 20 acres or greater than 60 acres in size and shall appeal to a community-wide population. Because these facilities are to be driven to, parking and site improvements are to be provided. Policies - Community Playfields: 1. Active recreational facilities provided within a community playfield may include, but are not limited to, lighted or unlighted fields or courts utilized for baseball, softball, football, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, skateboarding and free skating. 2. Passive recreational facilities provided in a community playfield may include, but are not limited to, community festivals, special events, trails, picnic areas, spectator seating areas, restrooms, concession stands and multiple use buildings. 3. Community playfield facilities shall be geographically dispersed throughout the City. Location of community parks will capitalize upon proximate arterial or collector streets and upon sites with minimal topographical change.

4. When possible, community playfields shall be developed in close proximity to secondary schools to allow for shared use of facilities. 5. The City will utilize no-spill lighting, other lighting technology and park design techniques, to mitigate glare from lighted community playfields from extending into adjoining residential areas. Standards - Neighborhood Parks: 1. Neighborhood parks shall include areas designed for intensive and passive recreational activities with focus on serving the immediate geographic service area rather than community wide programs. 2. The service area is approximately one-half to three-quarters of a mile based upon physical barriers and at full build-out should serve a population of approximately 5,000 people. 3. Neighborhood parks shall present a maximum size of eight to 20 acres with seven to ten acres of developed park land that can support at least a small ballfield and also provide winter activities and play equipment. Policies - Neighborhood Parks: 1. The active recreation facilities provided in a neighborhood park may include, but are not limited to, open field areas (including at least one small ballfield), multiple use hard surface play courts, creative play structures, hockey rinks, free skating rinks, warming houses, landscape plantings, picnic areas, shelters, restrooms and off-street parking. 2. Neighborhood parks should be geographically centered with safe pedestrian and bicycle access to surrounding residential development. 3. When possible, the City should consider the school/park complex development concept. Standards - Mini-Parks: 1. Parks with specialized or limited recreational uses, or parks serving a limited geographic area, shall be designated as mini-parks. Policies - Mini-Parks: 1. Mini-parks may be developed within neighborhoods or in close proximity to high density residential development, such as apartment complexes, townhouses, or City of Lakeville, Minnesota Chapter Five 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, & Open Space Plan Page 89
