Parks and Trails (PDF) Parks and Trails Introduction 5 New Ulm was fortunate to have founders with a vision and a deep interest in parks when they platted the City in 1858. Their interest in parks was probably rooted in the Turnverein philosophy of promoting a sound mind and a sound body. This vision provided New Ulm with land dedicated for public parks in a uniform pattern across the City. There continues to be a strong interest in outdoor recreation; the population recognizes that recreational interests are changing somewhat and that the system should keep pace. The New Ulm Master Park Plan was most recently prepared in 1989 and incorporated into the 1996 Comprehensive Plan. The Parks chapter of this Comprehensive Plan was updated in 2007 based on the 1996 Compre- hensive Plan. It includes an evaluation of the current park and recreation system, more detailed park and facility standards, a trail plan, future park needs, park renovation and facility priorities. Guiding assumptions for mid- and long-term park and recreation system planning are: Z The City’s population will remain stable or slightly increase, and the mean age will increase with the Baby Boomers moving into the 45 to 60 year range. Interest in trails, passive parks, cultural and fine arts programs, and indoor recreation is likely to increase. Z Exercise and health will continue to be an integral part of the lives of the people of New Ulm. A comprehensive trail system would help meet these demands. A loop trail network with connections to key local destinations (downtown, larger city parks, and Flandrau State Park) and to external trail routes (such as the Minnesota River State Trail) is needed to meet recreation, active living and non-vehicular transportation needs. A city and regional trail system would attract both residents and visitors alike.

  • Minnesota River Basin Trends
    Minnesota River Basin TRENDS Minnesota River near Redwood Falls by Brian Peterson, Star Tribune Star Brian Peterson, by Falls near Redwood Minnesota River Dear Reader This is the first Minnesota River Trends document. The purpose of this report is to provide a broad overview of trends related to the state of the Minnesota River. It is meant to be easy-to-read overview that summarizes some of the major demographic, land use, water quality, biological and recreational trends in the Minnesota River Basin over the past 10 to 100 years depending on data availability. In a few cases, where an analysis of change over time was not possible, the report includes information on current conditions. The indicators included in the following report were prioritized by a group of agency representatives and citizens with the hopes of providing some clues of broader ecosystem health across the Minnesota River Basin. What you will discover in this document is a mixed story—research shows some indicators improving, some declining, some static. We hope that this document will provide insight into this dynamic, complex and varied river basin. The river has been studied extensively and is managed by a number of different agencies and organizations for a variety of purposes. The report draws data from researchers across many diverse fields. Thanks to our many project cooperators (see list on back page). If you want to learn more, a rich resource list used to develop this report is available online http://mrbdc.mnsu.edu/mnbasin/trends As you will see, many actions and projects have been put in place to try to understand and improve the water quality across the basin.
