Item Type: Report & Recommendation Department: Parks & Recreation
Item Title: Edina Lacrosse Association Special Project Request: Rebounding Wall/Structure
Action Requested:
Review and comment on Edina Lacrosse Associations special project request.
Information/Background:
City Staff has received a special project request from Edina Lacrosse Association (ELA) for a
rebounding structure on City Parkland. Edina Lacrosse Association (ELA) has outlined the
community portion of the request and City staff has done an analysis and responded with a staff
report. A representative from ELA will provide a brief presentation and Parks staff will be available
for questions.

Information / Background:
The Edina Lacrosse Association (ELA) has submitted a special project proposal for a rebounding wall at
a City of Edina Parks and Recreation Facility. The association has been invited to the February 11th
meeting to introduce their request. The association represented by Tommy Everson has prepared a
proposal that addresses questions from the community member portion of our special projects request
policy. Staff provided ELA additional questions to better understand the request and minimum and
preferred requirements of the feature. ELA’s responses are included in this report.
Edina Lacrosse Association and Edina Parks and Recreation have had a partnership for over 20 years,
promoting youth athletics and the sport of Lacrosse. In 2024 Edina Lacrosse Association had 549
participants. Since 2021 there has been a 25% incremental growth in the organization and participation.
ELA currently uses the synthetic fields at Braemar and Pamela, as well as fields at Wooddale, and
Normandale. ELA is also one of the four associations under agreement for priority use of Braemar Field
Dome.
Staff Analysis:
ELA did a great job outlining the needs of this special project request. When reviewing this proposal,
staff identified several factors that may impact the community or park users, programs, or services
provided by Edina Parks and Recreation.
Site Requirements:
Based on conversations between City staff and ELA the following site requirements were identified,
clarifications were requested which are included later in this report:
The construction footprint of the wall requested is approximately 30’ wide and 12’ tall constructed out
of precast concrete retaining wall sections. Due to wall height and nature this wall needs to be
engineered and meet building code requirements for permitting. This includes proper footing,
reinforcement, and materials for use as a rebounding wall.

Subject:Special Project Request: Edina Lacrosse Association
Lacrosse Rebounding Wall at a City Parks and Recreation Facility
Page 7 of 40
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
ELA has voiced a desire to practice on both sides of the structure and a turf or synthetic turf practice
surface is preferred. This has implications for additional costs and maintenance and upkeep. The
project location would also be preferred at an existing practice facility and available during non-
reserved times.
Neighborhood and Community Benefits or Impacts:
This project is not currently a component of any upcoming or ongoing initiative or annual workplan
item. Staff have no recorded requests for a similar project from associations or the public. The demand
for this project appears to be only driven by ELA usage and would be used primarily by association and
Edina players. This project is not equity driven but supports the association and support of Lacrosse as
a sport in Edina.
City staff has not pursued any collaboration or partnership usage or demand from Edina associations.
There is potential that other entities would have interest which would increase demand, usage, and
value. Some neighborhoods and locations have barriers such as traffic, parking, and noise. Locations of
heavy traffic and usage may have conflicts with scheduling, usage, and displacement.
Funding:
ELA has proposed funding the cost of the wall and installation. Additional funding would need to be
sought for design and long-term maintenance, to both the structure and site around it. City would be
responsible for maintenance requirement and replacement at end of useful life.
Location:
This request is for a rebounding wall on City of Edina property and would not include land acquisition
or special permissions. ELA has provided recommendations and a list of potential sites for Commission
and City Staff response. Staff have noted some challenges that occur at these locations for Commission
review and comment.
Page 8 of 40
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Pamela Park:
This is one of the City’s most active and
programmed parks. The placement of the
practice wall presents challenges to scheduling
and association impacts. It also has potential
sound and traffic impacts to neighborhood.
Wooddale Park:
This location poses challenges to increased
practice volumes on the north side of the
property and proximity of neighbors creates
conflicts for noise and unscheduled usage.
Utley Park on the south side of 50th has also
been explored by staff but poses issues due to
separation from fields and practice space.
Weber Park and Normandale Park:
These locations have seasonal flooding and
limited practice usage. They also have limited
parking. There are also potential sound and
environmental impact in these ecological areas
as well.
Braemar Field:
The footprint and flexibility at Braemar Field
pose issues for compatibility with this request. Upcoming projects pose opportunities or restraints for
this request. Demand and usage of the Braemar Facility are high.
Edina Staff have not identified a preferred location that supports ELA’s request as well as community and
park users.
Page 9 of 40
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Alternatives:
Staff has looked into existing community supported rebounding walls. Currently, no Parks and
Recreation departments are known to support these structures in the Twin Cities. Existing structures
in neighboring communities are on school grounds or managed and maintained by associations or
private entities. Edina High School currently uses a structure on High School grounds that is both
owned and operated by district maintenance staff.
Additional structures could be pursued at other district facilities that could support all ages. School
district property or land may also have and existing facility or conditions suitable for wall ball drill or
new structure. Staff connected with school district representatives about feasibility of existing or future
facilities and they were open to discussions. They pointed out that they face similar challenges with
noise and barriers but could review proposal to see if there were any potential fits. Staff would be
willing to make connections and introductions for association as well.
The City does not currently have a facility with an existing wall that could be utilized for these drills and
accessed by ELA participants. A private facility owner or private land owner could be sought with an
existing structure that may meet ELA needs, this had not been pursued by City staff at this point. Staff
could pursue contacts or connections for ELA but ultimate usages agreements and insurance would be
negotiated between private land owner and ELA.
Additional Information Requested of ELA from Edina Staff:
What are some other examples of Lacrosse rebounding practice facilities in the metro? Which of these
are in Parks or Park and Recreation managed
ELA Response:
Rosemount, Eden Prairie, and Minnetonka have built rebounding walls, Wayzata and
Prior Lake are in the planning stages for building one right now. There may be others,
but these are the ones we have confirmed. I am not sure who manages the walls, as
Rosemount and EP have theirs located on high school grounds, and Minnetonka’s is at a
public park.
What sort of additional collaboration could be possible? Could another recreational user benefit from
this structure (tennis, soccer, etc…)?
ELA Response:
Page 10 of 40
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Soccer could definitely benefit from using the wall, as well as tennis if there were some
sort of hard surface installed on the ground around it. Baseball would be another
potential user, for fielding practice.
What is the requested relationship to reservable or scheduled spaces? Would this be part of practices
(reserved) or open to public? How close does it need to be to a field or open field?
ELA Response:
The wall would be open to use for the public, unless it was surrounded by a fence. It
could be used to augment practices, especially for beginners that cannot perform more
advanced drills. The closer to the field the better, but it could be further away as long as
it was within eyesight and earshot, so players could go back and forth during practice.
What are the minimum facility requirements of the request?
ELA Response:
Height: 10 ft, ideally 12 ft for the older kids/adults
Length: 20 ft, ideally 30 ft or more to allow a full team to use it (assuming it is double-
sided)
Hazard zoned (how far from wall can other amenities be): 15-20 ft
Distance from a practice field: 0 ft, could even be on the field depending on its
orientation
Surfacing (turf, asphalt, concrete, dirt/natural surface): natural grass would be fine, turf
would be ideal, asphalt or concrete would work but not be ideal and would increase the
hazard zone
Accessibility (both sides or one side): Either/or, but both sides would be ideal
Staff Recommendation/Next steps
The goal of adopting a special project request process was to allow residents to bring forth ideas about
amenities to expand offerings in the park system. These requests are meant to be informal and used as a
beginning point of dialogue, saving the resident, staff and the commission from having to develop a
detailed analysis for the project at the introductory stage. Staff is requesting feedback from the
Page 11 of 40
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
commission on this concept proposal from the association to gauge interest. Taking into account
commission feedback, staff would outline a more detailed process for the amenity request to possibly
include steps such as petition of the council, engagement of the neighborhood/community, preparation
of a detailed costing analysis and provide conceptual layout and construction requirements and
recommendations. Additional information gathering would be need to gauge additional association
collaboration and use, neighborhood impacts, and additional and ongoing project design and
maintenance costs.

Special Project Request
Overview
The Edina Lacrosse Association (ELA) is proposing to install a rebounding wall at an Edina
city park. The rebounding wall will be approximately 30’ wide by 12’ tall and made out of
precast concrete retaining wall sections. The cost of the wall and installation will be paid for
by the ELA.
a. What is the community or neighborhood demand for the project? Lacrosse is a
growing sport nationally, regionally, and locally. The ELA has seen increased growth
in participation over the past two decades and is projecting to continue to do so in
the foreseeable future. The Edina High School lacrosse teams (boys and girls) are
currently two of the top ranked programs in the state. However, at the youth level,
success has been more mixed as of late and there is a need to reinvest in the
program’s infrastructure to be able to maintain the current standard. There is not a
dedicated rebounding wall for lacrosse in the Edina community at this time.
b. What is the impact on the community for not supporting the project? There are other
youth lacrosse associations that have invested in a rebounding wall for their
programs (Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, etc.) and they have a competitive advantage
over the ELA because of it. Providing a rebounding wall that is accessible to the
entire youth lacrosse community allows for kids to practice fundamental skills on
their own, as well as gives coaches a versatile tool to use during practices. Without a
dedicated rebounding wall, kids end up using public buildings made out of brick or
concrete to play wall ball, which can cause damage to the structures or be a nuisance
for their owners/occupants.
c. What are the expected benefits from the project? A rebounding wall will give
coaches more flexibility during practices and kids a place to play outside of
structured activities. It will also serve as a visual and symbolic landmark for the ELA,
showing that the community is committed to youth lacrosse, just as much as it is for
other more established sports like hockey, soccer, and football. It should also be
noted that a rebounding wall of this scale could be used for soccer, making it multi-
purpose.
d. Has a specific site ben recommended? A few different sites are currently being
considered. Pamela Park would be the preferred location, due to its accessibility,
proximity to houses, and abundance of space. The ELA already uses this park for
some practices and games, and would like to make it more of a home base for the
program. Locating a rebounding wall there would help solidify that status. Other
locations under consideration are Wooddale Park, Braemar, and Weber Park. These
locations have also historically been used for ELA programming, however they have
more limitations. Wooddale Park is heavily used for the younger age groups (K, 6U,
8U, 10U), but is too small for the older age groups since it cannot fit a regulation-
sized field. There is also limited space for a larger rebounding wall installation there,
given the current configuration of walking paths and playgrounds on the site. The
west end of the park would be the most feasible location for a rebounding wall, given
its proximity to the playing fields and fences. Braemar, while easily accessible and
out of site from neighborhoods, has limited space available for a rebounding wall
near the dome/turf field. Also, with the pending expansion of the hockey rink, space
may become even more limited, and parking more scarce. A rebounding wall
Page 13 of 40
probably would not be feasible inside of the dome, and the area around the dome
has fairly steep topography, making it difficult for installation and usage. Weber Park,
while spacious, is problematic due to its location and the condition of the fields. Its
location it not very central to the community, making it not as accessible as the other
options. The bigger issue however, is the condition of the field. There are obvious
drainage issues with the field, as standing water and soggy conditions are frequent
after rainfall. Part of this may be due to topography and local storm water flow, but
the other contributing factor is that the field area gets flooded for ice skating every
winter, which subsequently destroys the grass. It does not seem like a very reliable
option for any lacrosse activities, let alone a rebounding wall. Visibility from the
surrounding residential neighborhood would also be problematic, as residents
would most likely be able to see the wall directly from their houses. Other potential
sites have been discussed, such as Rosland Park and the Normandale school multi-
use turf, but those would warrant further study and resources.
e. What financial resources are available in the community to fund the project? How
secure are these resources and can the needed funding be sustained? The project
will be completely funded by the ELA. There is an existing budget surplus that will
more than cover the cost of the wall and installation. The wall will need very little or
no maintenance over time and can be removed/relocated in the future if necessary.
f. What alternatives have been considered? The ELA has been using the Edina High
School’s lower turf field retaining wall for wall ball practices but that is less than ideal.
Although it is large, it has massive anchor bolts protruding from its face every 10 feet
or so, causing errant balls to ricochet violently across the field. Access to the wall is
also somewhat limited, as the field needs to be reserved in advance for players to be
able to use it, and during the school year field time becomes very scarce. Other stop
gap solutions used by the ELA have been portable rebounders, but those are
expensive, not very durable, and only allow for one player to use them at a time. A
dedicated rebounding wall would allow for an entire team to use it at once, especially
if it is double sided.
g. Is this project expected to continue or is it a one-time request? Is this project
seasonal in nature or a year-round operation? Which seasons? This project is a one-
time request, however, multiple rebounding walls at several locations could be a
consideration, if one larger installation is not feasible. The walls will be used mostly in
the spring/summer/fall when the weather permits.
