Assessment of Need 15CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON PARK AND TRAIL SYSTEM MASTER PLAN - DRAFT <br />Nearby Regional Recreation <br />Since New Brighton is situated within a metro area, there are a number of regional recreation <br />opportunities that are available to residents of New Brighton. These parks and facilities may be <br />operated by a county (Ramsey or Anoka). Adjacent cities and private entities offer recreation <br />as well, sometimes with an additional fee involved. Refer to Map 2.4 for locations of regional <br />recreation. Below is a list of regional recreation opportunities, not managed by the City of New <br />Brighton: <br />Regional Parks <br />Long Lake Regional Park <br />Long Lake Regional Park is managed by Ramsey County Parks and located within the City of <br />New Brighton on the eastern shoreline of Long Lake. The regional park includes a large pavilion <br />(with event rental space), 3 miles of trails, a swimming beach, shelter, multiple playgrounds, a <br />boat launch, fishing pier, ballfield, and the historic railroad center.
