PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting: June 24, 2013
ISSUE
During our regular meeting on April 2, 2013, the Parks and Recreation recommended to the City Council
that they look to further investigate Schwarz Pond Park and Central Park for the site of a future splash
pad. It was also recommended that they not rule out purchasing other land for sale in Rosemount and to
also consider all other City land that is available.
The City Council directed staff to come up with a concept for Schwarz Pond Park and a few concepts for
Central Park. Included in the packet are the concept plans. The cost estimates for each concept will be
handed out at the meeting.
BACKGROUND
One of the City Council Goals for 2012 -2013 is to enhance the Downtown area with additional public
amenities and improvements. One of the identified improvements in the goals for 2013 -2014 is a splash pad.
A splash pad is an area for water play that has little or no standing water. Typically there are ground nozzles
that spray water upwards out of the splash pad's deck. There may also be other water features such as a
rainbow (semicircular pipe shower) or a mushroom shower. Some splash pads feature movable nozzles that
allow users to spray others. The showers and ground nozzles are often controlled by a hand activated -
motion sensor, and run for a limited time. Typically the water is either freshwater, or recycled and treated
water.
SUMMARY
Staff would like for the Commission to review the concept plans and make a recommendation on which
plan they would recommend the City move forward with.

Notes:
* This estimate above includes a Splash Pad with a 'pass through' domestic water system.
'Pass through system' uses more water, but the water is essentially treated through the municipal system
and reused. This option requires the least amount of monitoring and management of all splash pad systems.
* The added cost for a'recirculating water treatment system' could range from $130,000 to $156,000.
'Recirculating water treatment system' uses less water, but requires staff to hold pool certified operator
license and requires more daily monitoring and management. The cost to implement this option is
significant.
* The added cost for a hybrid'water capture & repurpose' system could range from $250,000 to $300,000.
'Water capture & repurpose system' uses similar amount of water as 'pass through' system, but the water is
stored to use for irrigation or infiltration instead of treating the water on site. Space for subground tanks or
onsite basins and mechanical systems for irrigation can significantly increase site impact and overall costs.
