Site Review In General: For in-depth information regarding this park, Commissioners are directed to examine the recently adopted 2040 Park and Trail System Master Plan. Cliff notes regarding the park are as follows:  Hansen Park is the City’s largest park, is centrally located in the community, and is one of the City’s two “community parks” (i.e. parks intended to serve community- based recreational and social needs).  Residential uses surround the park on all sides.  Water flows through a drainage way from south to north carrying storm water to a large pond in the northern section of the park.  The park is presently served by a looping network of paved trails, and is home to the City’s only disc golf course.  In general, the park lies on hydric soils which require soil corrections for improvements.  Within the subject area, the ballfield lands are uneven, the fencing for each field is aging, neither are properly oriented for ideal play, and the fields lack accessible trail connections.
