<br />CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON <br />STRATEGIC PLAN 2018 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Service Description <br /> <br /> The Parks & Recreation Department strives to <br />enhance the quality of life for New Brighton citizens and <br />visitors through high quality services and facilities. Parks <br />and recreation programs and facilities contribute to the <br />overall health of a community, neighborhoods, and <br />individuals. New Brighton offers park facilities and <br />recreation programs/activities year round for residents of <br />all ages and abilities. These services encourage healthy <br />lifestyles, increase property values, develop community <br />pride, protect the environment, and relieve stress. <br /> <br />The department consists of five separate divisions: parks maintenance, forestry <br />management, recreation programs, New Brighton Community Center and Brightwood Hills Golf <br />Course (details included in the Special Revenue Fund section of the Strategic Plan). The City <br />employs 20 full-time and three permanent part-time employees in the general fund areas. In <br />addition the Park and Recreation Department is the City’s largest employer of part-time and <br />seasonal staff. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Centers, pavilions, playground equipment, trails, athletic fields, disc golf, <br />skate boarding and climbing equipment, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts are maintained <br />for the community to enjoy. The Parks crew maintains 13 parks containing nearly 200 acres of <br />park and open space in addition to miles of trails for walking, running, biking, and inline skating. <br />Park number 14 will come on-line in 2018. Parks Maintenance Personnel began mowing, <br />pruning, and maintaining the New Brighton Exchange acres and took on the tree treatment of <br />Emerald Ash Borer in 2010. The department operates four Neighborhood Centers. Annually, the <br />Neighborhood Centers hosts nearly 200 events and 50 community group meetings. Each center <br />has knotty pine walls, fireplaces, tables, and chairs, making them ideal for neighborhood <br />gatherings, meetings, business rentals, or family functions. The City offers the neighborhood <br />centers, park fields, and equipment for reservation/rental to the public. <br /> <br />In the forestry division, the City continues to focus on Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), Dutch <br />Elm, Oak Wilt and hazardous trees. The City initiated an EAB injection program in 2010 for <br />boulevard and selected park trees; reapplication occurred in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016. <br />Treatments will again take place in 2018. Yearly, the City provided residents with a list of <br />PARKS & RECREATION <br /> PARKS, FORESTRY, PROGRAMS and <br />NEW BRIGHTON COMMUNITY CENTER <br /> Maintain parks, trails, and open space <br />to ensure safety and cleanliness. <br /> Maintain a safe and high quality urban <br />forest. <br /> Provide quality & diverse recreation <br />programs that meet the needs of our <br />community. <br /> Manage the New Brighton <br />Community Center in a cost-effective <br />manner that provides positive <br />experiences for all visitors. <br />45
