,z <br />EXISTING CONpITTONS <br />Presently, the City has a potential of some 531 acres <br />of recreation land including usable school property, the <br />proposed Ramsey County park along Rice Creek and north and . <br />east of Long Lake, City parks and the, City golf course. <br />Most City parks are equipped with permanent park shelters, <br />skating rinks, ball diamonds and play equipment. This reflects <br />the City philosophy that these active recreation facilities <br />should. be easily accessible to all City residents rather than <br />centralized on one large park. <br />In addition, some facilities primarily oriented toward <br />school age children, are provided on the elementary school <br />grounds. <br />.The junior and senior high schools also have tennis courts. <br />and pool facilities which are available for public use on a <br />limited schedule. <br />• Municipal Park Land in Use: <br />1.
