NEW BUSINESS
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT
Playground Replacement PPT
Erik Evenson explained that there is currently $20,000.00 allocated to playground replacement and
repairs in the 2024 CIP. Evenson went on to say that City Staff are recommending that those funds
be spent based on safety being the highest priority. Evenson shared that the swing set at Nothside
Park is beginning to fail, explaining that the welds on the arch are beginning to crack causing the
swing set to be unsafe. Evenson moved on to Paperjack Park, explaining that several swings had
broken over time and were in need of replacement. In addition, the swinging bench near the
playground equipment is in very poor condition and should be replaced for safety reasons. Lastly,
Evenson conveyed that these funds should not only be used for repairs but to also enhance parks
where needed and when funds allow. Evenson shared that staff would like to replace the arch climber
at Greaton Park with a more appealing climber that would accommodate a more wide age range.
Evenson wrapped up discussion by giving a brief update on other CIP projects happening throughout
the City.

Meeting: Park Board - 04 Dec 2024

Staff Contact: Erik Evenson
Meeting: Park Board - 04 Dec 2024
Subject: 2025 Campground Rates
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The current rates at Hatfield Campground are $30 per night and $810 per month and were put in
place in 2022. Prior to 2022, the nightly rates were $25/night with a monthly rate of $680. The Park
Board should consider an increase in rates for 2025. Staff recommends that rates be increased to
$35 per night and $850 per month along with an increase from $5 to $10 for use of the Dumping
Station. The suggested rates are in line with other campgrounds in the area and Staff feel that the
increase will not deter campers from choosing to stay at Hatfield.
Other nearby campgrounds charge:
Rivers Edge(Somerset) - $20
North Park (Amery)- $35/night
o Dump- $10.00
Clear Lake Park - $35/night
Hoffman Park (River Falls) – $25/night
o Dump Station- $10.00
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends increasing the nightly campground rates at Hatfield from $30 to $35 and the
monthly rate from $810 to $850. In addition, Staff recommends increasing the Dumping Station fee
from $5 to $10.

Meeting: Park Board - 04 Dec 2024
Subject: Freedom Park Prairie Restoration
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
One of the projects identified in the five-year capital improvement plan, as well as the Freedom Park
Master Plan, is the conversion of much of the northern half of Freedom Park to native vegetation.
In 2024, the Earth First student organization at New Richmond High School, along with volunteers
from the New Richmond Pathway Committee, planted more than 1,000 native plants and seed in
Freedom Park as a demonstration plot. The project received grant funding from Star Prairie Fish &
Game, and the New Richmond Area Community Foundation. The intention is to use lessons learned
and some of the partnerships developed through this project and apply them on a larger size and
scope nearby, in an area that is currently leased to a local farmer and is not suitable for growing
traditional turf grass.
While this project was identified for 2027, efforts to apply for state or federal funding in advance of
that date requires advance planning given the timelines associated with various grant applications.
Staff initiated dialogue this fall with representatives from U.S. Fish & Wildlife, Pheasants Forever, and
the Pathway Committee to gauge interest and potential support for the project, such as technical
support, volunteer labor, or financial assistance. The initial response was overwhelmingly positive;
there is a strong possibility that all of the seed mix would be generously provided, and there is interest
to potentially start the project sooner.
The existing farm lease runs through December 31, 2026. The City receives $130 per acre x 40.1
acres for a total amount of $5,213 per year.
Staff would like to solicit feedback from the Park Board as to whether they are still supportive of this
project. If so, staff will continue to move forward with developing a more detailed plan and timeline for
the project and formalize partnerships. It's also possible that staff could apply for a Knowles Nelson
Stewardship grant or other funding opportunities in the coming months.
