PURPOSE Provide Planning Commission an opportunity to: 1. Review the research summary and community engagement highlights 2. Confirm key issues and opportunities 3. Discuss and provide input on the draft vision and guiding principles BACKGROUND The Spring Lake Park Reserve Master Plan and Natural Resources Management Plan process is occurring in four phases during 2019–2020: 1) Organization (summer 2019); 2) Research and Vision (summer–winter 2019); 3) Park Concepts (winter 2019–spring 2020); and 4) Preferred Concept and Plan (summer 2020–winter 2020). The second phase of the project, Research and Vision, is complete. This phase included inventory and analysis of existing recreation activities, natural resources, cultural resources, community demographics, current recreation trends, and review of Dakota County Parks Systemwide plans to ensure consistency. Community engagement reached nearly a thousand participants and included stakeholder meetings, pop-up events at existing community events, and online input. An open house was held in the park on October 14, 2009. Effort was made to connect with demographic groups underrepresented in Dakota County Parks, including older adults, youth, Latinos, indigenous people, and people living with disabilities. Key findings include: • Spring Lake Park Reserve’s high-quality natural assets and unique cultural landscape present an opportunity to build on current park uses and provide visitors with signature, destination park experiences. • There is a strong desire to enhance the park’s natural resources. • Today, park visitors enjoy spectacular views of the Mississippi River Valley, bird and wildlife observation, events at the picnic shelter and the gathering center, archery, biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing. • The park is part of the National Mississippi River Trail, within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, along the Mississippi River State Water Trail, and as part of the Regional Park System. This creates opportunities to attract visitors from across the region, state and beyond. • Today, many Dakota County residents are unaware of Spring Lake Park Reserve and its offerings. • Though the park is along the Mississippi River, there is limited physical access to the river. ATTACHMENTS 1. Phase 1 Research and Vision 2. Phase 1 Community Engagement QUESTIONS The following questions are intended to help assist in review of the packet materials. 1. What key research findings stand out as important for guiding the development of plan alternatives in the next phase of the project? 2. Are there key issues and opportunities that are missing? 3. Do you feel the draft vision and guiding principles capture the unique qualities of this park? Do you feel they will serve as a foundation for development of the Master Plan and Natural Resources Management Plan? Do you have suggestions for changes or additions? TASK 1: RESEARCH & VISION This summary outlines the findings of Phase 1: Research & Vision, initial Community Engagement outcomes, and identifies Issues & Opportunities from the Spring Lake Park Reserve master plan. The master plan update is guided by the 2008 Park System Plan, 2017 Visitor Service Plan, and the 2017 Natural Resource Management Plan. Drafts of the Natural Resource Overview, Cultural Resource Overview and the updated Vision and Guiding Principles for Spring Lake Park Reserve are also included for consideration by the Planning Commission. CONTEXT Spring Lake Park Reserve is one of the 56 regional parks and park reserves that make up the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Regional Park System. The park is located in the northeastern portion of Dakota County and on the south shore of the Mississippi River’s Spring Lake. Spring Lake Park Reserve is 1,200 acres and one of only five park reserves within a 20 mile radius (Murphy-Hanrehan, Lake Elmo, Hyland-Bush Anderson Lakes, Miesville). This designation of park “Reserve” signifies the rich ecological and cultural assets exhibited at the park. The interplay of the ecological, cultural, and scenic assets makes it one of the most unique parks in the regional system. The park is located in the City of Rosemount and in Ninninger Township with the City of Hastings just to the east. Access from the north and south is US Highway 52 or State Highway 61 to Highway 55 and County Road 42. In addition to its role as a regional park in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, Spring Lake Park Reserve is also a part of the broader state and national parks and trails system. Specifically, it is referenced as a destination within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area due to its natural history, cultural significance, wildlife watching, and family-friendly activities. The park is also situated along the southern most segment of the Mississippi River State Water Trail, from Minneapolis to Hastings. Maps for the Water Trail note the hazards of stumpfields and submerged logs along the stretch that borders Spring Lake. At the national level, it hosts part of the National Mississippi River Trail section that passes through Minnesota. Of the 5 sections described in the National Trail, Spring Lake Park Reserve sits within the “Forested Floodplain” section where the river begins to lose its urban character, the bluffs get higher and the river widens. Dakota County has designated the segment of the national trail that runs through the county as the Mississippi River Greenway. The trail connects Spring Lake Park Reserve to the City of Hastings with existing connections to Red Wing. Once a remaining one-mile segment of the regional Greenway is completed, trail users will be able to connect with other regional trails in St. Paul. Planned future connections included Lebanon Hills and Whitetail Woods Regional Parks.

    MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEWS Fall 2018 / Winter 2019 The official newsletter of Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEWS The mission of Mississippi Park Connection 111 Kellogg Blvd E, Suite 105 is to strengthen the enduring connection Saint Paul, MN 55101 between people and the Mississippi River by enriching the life of the river and the lives of all who experience our national park, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. Park Connection supports the park’s environmental stewardship and education programs, including outdoor recreation, education, and volunteerism. In 1988, a national park was created in Minnesota to preserve, protect, and enhance the significant values of the waters and land of the Mississippi River corridor. Known as Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, the park extends for 72 miles along the river, running through the heart of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area. Printed on Minnesota-milled, chlorine-free recycled and recyclable paper with 10% postconsumer material. WELCOME Generation Next Katie Nyberg, Executive Director, Mississippi Park Connection “The river is an ideal classroom for learning about history, ecology, physics, literature and the arts.” Photo by Bethany Birnie At Mississippi Park Connection, we believe that the river should shape every kid who grows up here. An introduction to the park, whether through fishing or canoeing or hiking, builds a foundation for lifelong learning and connection. We are pleased that the natural world is increasingly being appreciated as a tool for building strong, healthy and happy children. The river is also an apt platform for building knowledge about the world around us, which is why we have built many partnerships with Twin Cities schools.
