2 <br /> <br /> <br />Focusing on 2017: <br /> <br /> <br />New Brighton Lions Park <br />Work began on New Brighton Lions Park in November of 2016. Construction will continue <br />throughout 2017 with a goal of opening the park in 2018. Amenities that will be included in the <br />park include a softball field, lacrosse field, play area, trails, and related park amenities. <br /> <br />The City partnered with Ramsey County Parks on the project. A cooperative agreement has <br />been established. As a result, a shared restroom facility and larger parking lot will be <br />constructed on Ramsey County property. In the future, Ramsey County will add a park shelter <br />on County property. <br /> <br />A playground focus group has been meeting since October 2016 to help design and choose the <br />playground structure. The group is approaching a recommendation. <br /> <br />Special thanks to the New Brighton Lions Club for their support and financial donation to the <br />park. The Lions Club is contributing $25,000 for four years, totaling $100,000. They have also <br />committed to contributing $5,000 each year for the years 2020-2029 to assist in maintenance <br />expenses for the park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />New Brighton Lions Club presents a $25,000 check to the City at the May 10, 2016 Council meeting.
