Hanover Park Board discusses Pheasant Run trail, Oakview Ridge plans and Adopt‑a‑Park rollout
Summary
Board members reviewed a staff report on Pheasant Run Park trail amenities, discussed Oakview Ridge park plans, and agreed to simplify and target a spring 2025 rollout for an Adopt‑a‑Park volunteer program.
At its Oct. 22 meeting the Hanover Park Board reviewed staff updates on two park projects and discussed how to structure a volunteer Adopt‑a‑Park program for spring 2025.
Jenny Peterson, City Clerk/Assistant to the City Administrator, presented a staff report on the Pheasant Run Park trail. Board discussion centered on amenities to accompany the trail: members weighed replacing a proposed volleyball court with a basketball court, adding a frisbee-golf component, and installing permanent lawn games such as cornhole, connect four and ladder ball. The board did not take a formal vote on specific amenities at this meeting.
Peterson also gave an overview of the Oct. 2 meeting that covered the Oakview Ridge development and its park designs; the minutes record no final action on Oakview Ridge from this session. On the Adopt‑a‑Park program, the board agreed to keep volunteer tasks simple, focus on scheduling that will work for community volunteers, and aim for a spring 2025 rollout.
No funding amounts or vendor contracts were specified in the staff report; Peterson noted she had met with a Wright County SHIP representative to discuss possible grant funding but did not provide figures at the meeting. The board approved routine meeting motions at the start of the session and adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
The board will revisit amenity choices and the Adopt‑a‑Park implementation timeline at future meetings when staff can present cost estimates and proposed schedules.
