ISSUE
Staff recently received a petition signed by several residents living in the Greystone neighborhood
requesting that a hockey rink be added to Greystone Park.
Staff is not opposed to trying to help meet the recreational needs in the Greystone neighborhood but the
park was not designed to include an area for a hockey rink. To have a skating rink in the park, we will need
a spot that will very flat with little or no slopes. Greystone Park currently does not have a spot that would
work for a rink.
Staff plans to recommend that an outdoor hockey rink with lights be add to the future neighborhood park
that will be added to the development just west of Akron Avenue and north of Bonaire Path which will be
close to the Greystone development.
Staff is requesting the Commission discuss this request.

Ref. Skating Rink at Greystone Community Park
Rosemount Parks & Rec.,
The residents of Greystone would like your consideration and support with adding a skating rink to our
community park. We are seeking the initial preparation of the rink which includes snow removal and
application of water. We are requesting a rink to be within the same size of similar rinks found
throughout the city. Unfortunately, the closest rink to us, are the Bloomfield facilities, which is often
consumed by near by residents or youth hockey teams.
We are only asking for the above-mentioned and Initial support with those residents who have signed
this petition agreeing to the following (signatures provided — App. A);
• On-going maintenance of the rink following snow falls by any resident who uses the skating rink.
This would be completed with the use of shovels and/or snow blowers.
■ Providing our own seating. No warming shack. Wood bench(s) may stay at the rink If a home
owner provides one with any portable seating being removed immediately.
• Suspending skating at dusk with no lights used in order to respect home owners directly
adjacent to the park (unless approval is given by home owners and for a pre -determined period
of time).
• No hockey nets, instead, the use of "box nets" which are commonly found at outdoor pond
hockey tournaments held throughout the Twin Cities (example provided — App, 8).
■ Removing any trash immediately and discarded in their home trash bins.
■ Follow any additional safety rules and policies set forth by Rosemount Parks & Rec.
By assuming these responsibilities as a community, it helps In relieving any possible additional stress on
city staff which can often times be the case when seeking to acid additional facilities to a community. Let
the residents of Greystone take on these responsibilities and approve our request. Collectively, we
thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to hearing back from you with your decision
or continued discussion to answer any questions, comments or concerns.
Respectfully,
Greystone Residents and Planning Committee
