1 DEMING HEIGHTS PARK LOCATION AND HISTORY Located in the Audubon Park neighborhood, Deming Heights Park is surrounded by a residential area. The first land for the park was acquired in 1913 along with the land for St. Anthony Boulevard. The land was desired because it was the highest point in the Minneapolis park system. At 963 feet above sea level it is ten feet higher in elevation than Sunset Hill on Memorial Parkway north of Wirth Park. Writing in the 1914 annual report, park board president Thomas Voegeli commented on the great natural beauty of the land through which the new St. Anthony Boulevard would pass. Voegeli wrote that the view from the highest point in the city at yetto-be-named Deming Heights Park, could fill the hearts of Minneapolis citizens with patriotic pride. Since its acquisition the park has been treated as a section of St. Anthony Parkway and its acreage included with that of the parkway. With Columbia Park located just two short blocks to the east and Audubon Park two blocks south, the neighborhood already was considered to be well-provided with recreation amenities, so none were ever added to Deming Heights Park which is why it is considered a jewel of ecological importance today. The land was acquired for the view it provided and therefore little has been done in the way of park improvements since its acquisition. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CHARACTER The site has striking topography a rolling turf hillside with mature tree canopy and areas of meadow. There is a major bicycle presence as the regional trail passes through the park. Deming is one of the most ecologically significant neighborhood parks in the service area, providing an important understory habitat for urban wildlife. Neighbors have spotted a wide variety of birds and even the occasional fox in the park. As it sits on the parkway, which is also an ecological corridor linking to the river, it is an especially critical node of habitat. The view from the park is outstanding. THE PROPOSED DESIGN The design accentuates the natural features and experience of the existing park by maintaining the mature tree canopy, expanding understory planting areas, and placing gathering areas to maximize views. A ropes course was considered for the park, but is instead proposed in nearby Waite Park, as to not impact the habitat that Deming Heights offers to local wildlife. A bicycle maintenance station, plaza, and trail map kiosk are added to entrance of the park to support bicyclists and other users of the regional trail system. A small picnic pavilion formalizes a lookout point in the park and creates a space for groups to enjoy the spectacular views. The observation deck and picnic grove are located on the newly improved ADA pathway, which is currently lacking in the park. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PARKS Because Deming Heights straddles the parkway, crossing St. Anthony Parkway poses a barrier for park users, and the improved crossing in the park should consider a highly visible option to increase safety for all modes on the Parkway. Wayfinding and trail amenities are important considerations along the entire Grand Rounds. KNOWN LAND USE AND COORDINATION ISSUES As a neighborhood park that flanks a regional parkway, ongoing coordination between regional master planning and funding is required during implementation of the proposed plan. 124

6 DICKMAN PARK LOCATION AND HISTORY Located in the heart of the St. Anthony West neighborhood, just blocks from the river and the heart of NE Minneapolis, Dickman Park is an important punctuation of greenspace in the urban environment. When acquired, the park was called the Main Street Northeast Playground Site, a very straightforward choice as it was a playground in NE Minneapolis on Main Street. The park was renamed in 1955 for Ralph E. Dickman, a youth worker in northeast Minneapolis turned attorney and Hennepin County Commissioner. The initial 1.23 acres of land for the park were purchased by condemnation in Although the park was smaller than desired, it was located in a neighborhood described as under-served in a 1944 survey of park properties and the needs of the city. The park was expanded in 1954 in an unusual deal. Pioneer Engineering Works acquired ten acres of land from the park board at Northeast Athletic Field in exchange for an acre of land it owned adjacent to Holmes Park and five parcels of land the company bought for the park board to expand Dickman Park. The original deal was for the Holmes land and some cash, but the district court, which had to approve all land dispositions by the park board, ruled that the deal had to be for land only. So Pioneer bought the land at Dickman Park and turned it over to the park board. Before the park was improved in 1955, an additional 0.39 acre was also purchased by condemnation. In 1955, the park was filled and graded after the buildings on the land were moved. Initial plans were for a small athletic field, volleyball and basketball courts, and a picnic area. In 1957 a wading pool was added to complete initial construction. Skaters at Dickman Park were able to put on their skates in a warming house for the first time in the winter of A recreation shelter for the park was completed in Dickman Park facilities were renovated in 2014, including a new playground, two new benches, and a new picnic table. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CHARACTER This 2-acre park is set in the residential St. Anthony West neighborhood. It is.25 miles from Boom Island park and the Mississippi river front. A large senior care facility is within a block of the park. It is a small park with an open greenspace, picnic pavilion, playground, wading pool, and a small enclosed shelter building. THE PROPOSED DESIGN This design envisions the park as an urban agriculture hub with community garden space, orchard, and community kitchen. The urban agriculture hub would be managed through a partnership with a neighborhood or food access organization. The community garden would provide water and storage space in line with the Urban Agriculture Plan. The community kitchen is inside the existing structure and would be built to commercial kitchen specifications to provide opportunities for safe food processing for public consumption (though per the community garden policy, produce from the community garden itself could not be processed for sale). A single multi sport court is included to foster more multigenerational activities in the park rather than passive 129

7 uses. A central flexible field can be used for community gathering, event space, and play. The design also seeks to improve the neighborhood connections with improved entrances, crossings, and pathways, especially for the high density of senior housing and elder care facilities nearby. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PARKS Connections through the park along the northern edge in line with 7th Avenue NE are a critical circulation path to maintain, with special consideration for connections to the nearby river parks and NE Farmers Market. KNOWN LAND USE AND COORDINATION ISSUES If a commercial kitchen is built in the park as part of the Urban Agriculture Zone, and with the establishment of a community garden, the Zone would require a community sponsor to steward the effort in collaboration with MPRB. 130

12 ELWELL PARK LOCATION AND HISTORY Located in the Marcy Holmes neighborhood close to 35W, Elwell Park is a true pocket park for the neighborhood. The original Elwell Park was taken by the Minnesota Department of Highways to build the I-35W freeway through east Minneapolis in the early 1960 s. The park was given a major update in The renovation was paid for partly with Neighborhood Revitalization Project (NRP) funds designated by the neighborhood. The park is also known as Turtle Park. Local artists Susan Warner and Marcia MacEathron created the original mosaics. The park plan was laid out to mimic a floor plan of a house. Children from Marcy Open School to designed the original tiles seen throughout the park. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CHARACTER Elwell Park is a.75-acre children-oriented pocket park in the Marcy Holmes residential neighborhood. The narrow lot has two main play areas and a seating area. The park is highly used by neighborhood families. The park is also lovingly maintained by local residents who donate plants, labor, and time. The neighborhood organization has been fundraising to update the public art elements in the park. The process has been underway for several years, and while there are many hopes for the park, the public art element is a key part of its identity and form. THE PROPOSED DESIGN Design focuses on the renovation of this much loved neighborhood pocket park and proposes plaza spaces and increased seating to support community gathering. The design supports all aspects of the restored artwork including the wall, bench, and turtle along with a new interpretive sign explaining the significance of the site. The gathering space is oriented to the street to provide a welcoming environment for passers by. The play areas include a children s playground as well as an outdoor fitness area. KNOWN LAND USE AND COORDINATION ISSUES Ongoing coordination with the neighborhood on the public art installation and maintenance is required on an ongoing basis or for the life of the art piece. A Park Stewardship Agreement should be finalized to outline the areas stewarded by the neighbors. The park could be expanded in the future to include the area where NW Bell currently has a parking lot if park expansion is of interest or if the parcel becomes available. 135

17 HIVIEW PARK LOCATION AND HISTORY Located at the top of an incline in the Columbia Park neighborhood, Hiview Park was acquired from the state in The state had acquired the property for non-payment of taxes. The original park was 3.74 acres, but it was expanded in The park board acquired the land at a time when it was looking to fill gaps in playground service identified in a 1944 study of park facilities. While the neighborhood around Hiview was not on the list of neighborhoods needing playgrounds, the Park Board seized the opportunity to obtain free land from the state, when it discovered the land was on the state s list of tax-forfeited properties. The undeveloped land had been used as a playing field by children in the neighborhood for years. The Park Board began developing the land for a park in 1951, partly because it had some money left over from improvements at Bottineau Park. The initial improvements to the park an athletic field, volleyball courts, and children s play area were completed in In 1961, the park was expanded slightly. A small shelter was built and the playground was updated. The next round of improvements to the park occurred in 1977, when a wading pool was added. In 1989, the park was renovated with a new totlot play area and a baseball field and backstop. In 2016, a new wading pool and new playground opened. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CHARACTER This 4-acre park is set in the Colombia Park Neighborhood. Hiview is situated on the edge of residential and industrial land uses. A large rail yard abuts the western edge of the park. It is.5 miles from the Mississippi Riverfront. Hiview has a tiered arrangement true to its name, with views of the surrounding area from a high vantage point. A sidewalk gap exists along the western edge of the park, which also includes a popular bus stop for the neighborhood. The existing recreational amenities are well used including the wading pool, playground, tennis courts, and horseshoe pit. A neighborhood community garden exists nearby. Because of the site s grade change, the basketball court poses a challenge with ball control, which a fence around the court could help. THE PROPOSED DESIGN The design for Hiview maintains the primary play and open green spaces of the park while expanding recreation and gathering areas. It also improves overall circulation in the park and connection to adjacent transit lines. A new walkway and transit plaza space is added to the western edge of the park. Four combination tennis and pickleball courts are proposed on the southern edge of the park expanding the existing courts. The edges of the park provide opportunity for pollinator habitat with a bee lawn, while the multi-use field remains and is improved. With the basketball and other court sports in close proximity, along with the grade change, the basketball court should be fenced to enhance the safety of all users of the park. 140

18 A new seating area and picnic pavilion are added to accommodate larger groups on the lower tier of the park near the horseshoe pits, which are expanded to accommodate league play. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PARKS A new sidewalk is proposed along the western edge of the park along with improved crossings at all corners of the park. A small transit plaza and waiting area along Main Street will be included on the street edge to accommodate transit users to and from the park. KNOWN LAND USE AND COORDINATION ISSUES There are no known land use or coordination issues with Hiview. 141

23 HOLMES PARK LOCATION AND HISTORY This 4.3-acre park in the Marcy Holmes Neighborhood is directly adjacent to Marcy Open School and bordered by 4th Street on the west. Holmes Park s history is an incremental journey with the first land for the park acquired in Homes were removed from the land and the block was graded for playing fields and a blacktop, as well as a small shelter to serve primarily as a warming house for skating. In 1959 the Holmes School PTA requested that the blacktop be replaced with grass and a softball field, a project completed that same year. In 1983 the Park Board acquired an additional two acres of land for the park, bringing the total to about 4½ acres. The land was purchased from the school board. The final boundaries of the park were established in 1991 when the school board and park board rearranged their ownership of the two blocks to accommodate the construction of Marcy Open School. At that time the last privately owned lot on the parcel of land was purchased by the school board and turned over to the park board as part of the deal. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CHARACTER Holmes Park sees heavy use from school activities, especially on the playground. The park is highly used and shows significant signs of wear. The park has a large central turf field that appears to be graded for water infiltration. The park playground was situated around the school in a fan shape to mirror the form of the building. During school hours the playground is at capacity, and while it is open to the public during park hours, it is important for the playground and park to remain welcoming to the general public throughout the day and year. A stormwater garden was installed by community members in collaboration with MWMO at the edge of the school, and while it is not on park property, it has played an important role in knitting the school grounds and parkland together from a circulation perspective. The wading pool is well loved, and the wall of the nearby restroom/pumphouse is a potential site for public art, as identified by the community. However, the wading pool is situated along the edge of 4th Street which is a busy one-way arterial corridor, and adjacent to the school on another side, both competing land uses with a small children s gathering space. The tennis and basketball courts at the north edge of the park are popular neighborhood spots. In terms of circulation, the park is heavily trafficked by pedestrians passing through the bustling Marcy Holmes neighborhood, and clear circulation is an important feature of the park.park currently. THE PROPOSED DESIGN Because of the adjacent Marcy Open School, this park is one that plays dual function much of the year as a school outdoor space and a neighborhood park. The proposed design facilitates a clear designation of the park as a public space that is open to all users, young and old. Circulation is improved to accommodate the desire lines of passage through the park from corner to corner and across from 5th to 4th without compromising the larger flexible greenspace in the middle of the park. That green space is intended to accommodate drop-in soccer and other field sports, as well as other unprogrammed recreational and leisure activities. The popular tennis courts are expanded 146

24 to from 2 courts to 3 courts A second play area and relocated wading pool articulate that the park play areas are intended for the general public as well as the school. The wading pool and pump house are relocated away from 4th to situate the amenity in a quieter area of the park, farther away from the busy traffic of 4th Street. The edge of the park along 4th will integrate with proposed bike facilities and improved transit connections, including a potential E Line bus rapid transit station. The design includes two play areas. A new multi-generational nature play located near the tennis courts keeps in mind the original design of the park by the community in the 1980s. The existing playground near the school is redesigned and upgraded in conjunction with planned school updates in A walking loop and seating areas throughout the park, including a small woodland gathering area, are included as multigenerational amenities in the park to ensure Holmes continues to be a welcoming space for all. The natural areas added along the edges are proposed as bee lawn which have same look as the current park, but to attract pollinators and enhance the ecological function of the park. KNOWN LAND USE AND COORDINATION ISSUES Additional coordination with Minneapolis Public Schools about parcel ownership is required. As the new playground is installed, MPS will work in collaboration with MPRB during demo and construction of the new playground. The Community Advisory Committee for the East of the River Park Master Plan has made it clear that the master plan is recommended contingent on ongoing coordination with MPS, especially around circulation in the park. MPRB requests that circulation patterns are improved across the park as part of the school expansion. CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PARKS Holmes Park is along the potential future route of the E Line Bus Rapid Transit System. As route and station planning continue, MPRB will coordinate with Metro Transit on this important regional transit connection opportunity, as long as there is no negative impact to park land or park users. Safe connections across 4th Street and the new County bicycle facilities along that street are important for park users access to the nearby Mississippi River, Chute Square, and Elwell Park. 147
