FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Parks & Recreation to Host Open House on Winter
Recreation Proposal
Edina, Minn., June 29, 2016 – To get input from the public, the City of Edina’s Parks & Recreation
Department will host an open house to share a preliminary plan for the Braemar Park Winter
Recreational Area 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at the City of Edina’s Public Works & Park
Maintenance Facility, 7450 Metro Blvd.
The open house is a chance for Edina residents to hear more about the Winter Recreational Area at
Braemar Park and share their views on the proposed project.
“A winter recreation area at Braemar Park would add a significant new amenity to Braemar Park and
the City’s park system,” said Ann Kattreh, Director of Parks & Recreation. “We want to discuss how
this will impact the neighborhood and share what this new amenity will add in terms of year-round
recreation opportunities.
“We want to hear from residents if they would use the man-made snow trails for Nordic skiing or
fat tire biking and if they would utilize a snow tubing hill at the park. We will also show the
opportunity to connect to multi-use natural snow trails through the golf course.”
Along with City staff, members of the project’s consulting team will present information and be
available for questions.
Residents who can’t attend the open house are welcome to submit their comments to Kattreh in
writing. To submit comments on the project, write to Kattreh at akattreh@EdinaMN.gov or Edina
City Hall, 4801 W. 50th St., Edina, MN 55424.
