TRAILSIDE PARK — Owned by the DNR: <br />Assessment: <br />This park is difficult to classify as it is, in actuality, owned by the DNR. For purposes <br />here, we will define the north portion as a mini -park consisting of 2.9 acres. The City <br />maintains the entire area (north and south), but it is the north area that is utilized as a <br />park. Amenities include the Paul Bunyan Trail, a band shelter, a picnic shelter, Dru's <br />Garden, the Veterans' Memorial, and Paul Bunyan Footprints. Aside from the trail itself, <br />the entire area is grass covered and the north portion is irrigated. <br />Proposed Improvements: <br />• Define the band shell area using natural landscaping <br />• Add a barbeque grill by the picnic shelter <br />• Develop a program for flower garden maintenance <br />• Re- organize the overall landscaping of park to provide: <br />• Better site lines; <br />• Trees and shrubs that better define the space; <br />• Improve placement of benches and other seating areas. <br />
