These scalable prototypes will be designed to address the unique site constraints and community needs of Edina parks and could be incorporated throughout the city. The resulting documentation can be used by the Edina Parks and Recreation Department as a framework or toolkit for determining size, program, and character of new park shelter builds that are appropriately scaled to different park types throughout Edina’s park system moving forward. PHASE 1 - PART 1: RESEARCH AND INFORMATION GATHERING Part one of this phase is focused on analyzing existing park types and park building types to help determine which programs are needed at which park types. Goals of this part included: • Review park types and classifications • Review service areas• Review building types (right-sized to fit needs of park types and avoid the path of escalating costs)• Establish baseline standards (program, amenities, etc.) The resulting mapping exercises and analysis, on the following pages, categorizes and loosely correlates both park types and park building types. The Park Types and descriptions are taken from Edina Parks and Recreation documents and standards. Park Building Types have been developed from a summary review of existing Edina Parks and Recreation buildings as well as feedback from Parks and Recreation staff. Though the currently existing park buildings do not completely align with the new building types, the mapping exercise provides a rough framework for determining appropriate locations and sizes moving forward. Evaluating existing buildings relative to new proposed categories of Parking Building Types provides a method for evaluating what is working or not working at particular buildings at a particular park type.

The following park building descriptions are taken from Edina Parks and Recreation documents and standards, while the categorization of “X-Small”, “Small”, “Medium”, and “Large” are based on this study analysis. Note: Existing buildings have been organized within proposed types, even though some may be over or undersized according to future proposed types. See proposed new build types for future programming. X-SMALL Existing buildings placed in the “X-Small” category defi ne their program in Edina Parks and Recreation documents as “Restrooms” or “Shelter” (non-enclosed space). SMALL Existing buildings placed in the “Small” category defi ne their program in Edina Parks and Recreation documents as “Shelter with Restrooms”. The square footage of enclosed space is typically under 1,000 square feet. MEDIUM Existing buildings placed in the “Medium” category defi ne their program in Edina Parks and Recreation documents as “Warming House” and “Neighborhood Space”. The square footage of enclosed space is typically between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. Arden Park’s “Community Space”, has been included in this category based on the square footage and programming aligning more closely with these parameters. LARGE CONCESSIONS Existing buildings place in the “Large” category defi ne their program in Edina Parks and Recreation documents as “Community Space” and “Rental”. The square footage of enclosed space is typically greater than 2,000 square feet. Concession stands are associated with baseball and softball fi elds and are not included in the above categories.

Clear efforts were made in different decades (“the bunkers” and the 1990s builds) but subsequent new builds do not tie into the existing identity of park buildings. There should be a narrative thread between projects more recently completed and anything proposed moving forward. • Inconsistency of style also leads to a hodge-podge of materials, windows, hardware, fi xtures, etc. A more consistent approach will ease maintenance concerns and allow for more easy replacements and repairs. • The 1970s “bunkers” and builds from the 1990s are most likely to be replaced in the near future (shown in adjacent map). These are right-sized for their location and should be replaced as medium, with the potential for (1) per quadrant growing to accommodate extra gathering space and becoming a “Large”. Page 29 of 44 PARK SHELTER PROTOTYPES | DESIGN STANDARDS PLAYBOOK EDINA PARKS AND RECREATION | SNOW KREILICH ARCHITECTS PHASE 1 - PART 2: DESIGN GOALS AND PROGRAMMING Park Building Design and Materials The purpose of the park typology study is to develop an architectural identity with options and variations that allows for a balance between contextual, site-specific design and a cohesive language across the Edina Parks system. This study is also about rightsizing program based on the scale, location and functions of the parks to allow the park department to better anticipate shelter needs that are appropriate to each location. Additionally, this will include a standard approach to signage, wayfinding, and interpretative programming as well as a standardization of building materials and fixtures. The conceptual design phase will develop the X-Small, Small, Medium, and Large building types discussed within this document. Each type will have a strong connection to the site, both physically and visually, with covered spaces for open-air gathering in all sized types. Programmable rooms and warming houses will designed for maximum flexibility of use. Starting in Design Development, the project will develop a baseline specification with an emphasis on healthy, durable, and beautiful materials, windows, hardware, fixtures, etc. The intent of this standardization is to develop more consistency between facilities for long term maintenance and replacement. This document should be considered a “living document” that is updated bi-annually to assure it addresses evolving city park needs, current building code standards and new technologies and materials. Sustainability While each project will reach the minimum requirements set forth by the City of Edina’s 2030 Climate Action Plan and Green Building Guidelines, further analysis into the potential for higher sustainability goals will be assessed in the project’s next phase, Schematic Design. Potential certifications to be investigated include Net Zero Energy Building, LEED Zero, Zero Carbon and Living Building Challenge Petal Certifications (Place, Water, Energy, Health + Happiness, Materials, Equity, and Beauty). Accessibility All new park buildings and facilities will align with the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design, and in an effort to create a more accessible and inclusive park building and process, the design team will utilize the Principles of Universal Design. These principles include: • Equitable Use • Flexibility in Use• Simple and Intuitive Use• Perceptible Information• Tolerance for Error• Low Physical Effort• Size and Space for Approach and Use PART 2 - INTRODUCTION Page 30 of 44 PARK SHELTER PROTOTYPES | DESIGN STANDARDS PLAYBOOK EDINA PARKS AND RECREATION | SNOW KREILICH ARCHITECTS PART 2 - PROPOSED NEW BUILD TYPES AMENITIES TO BE INCLUDED IN EACH OPTION • Durable materials for exterior and interior finishes, easy to maintain that can be repeated from building to building • Rubber flooring or cleanable / durable carpet • Separate storage space from mechanical / electrical • Storage space to be large enough to service ice making needs• Storage space for tables and chairs in options with Meeting Room / Warming House• Storage to be accessible from both exterior and interior, accessible from public space• Meeting Room / Warming House to hold approximately 60 people• Sink + food preparation area in options with Meeting Room / Warming House • Restrooms to be accessible from both exterior and interior• Drinking fountains at each option - location (interior and exterior) • Clear way finding per Edina graphic standards • Sufficient parking and access • Covered areas for picnic tables • Due to the shape and programming of the parks, some parks may require two smaller building types. An example of this could be Highland Park which requires a warming house (“Medium”) but would also benefit from a porta potty enclosure (“X-Small”).

Potential Areas: Infrastructure replacement Arena expansion Project Kane (L), Wick, Weaver, Hulbert Initiative 1.5.2 Review and compare park shelter building amenities and function The upcoming capital improvement program identifies several park shelter building replacements. Part 1: The commission will study and report on user experience enhancements, amenities and style of facility approaches that are successful in current Edina parks and surrounding communities to help guide future replacement projects. Part 2: The commission will evaluate Edina Parks that have and those that do not have park buildings and propose criteria for constructing or decommissioning at each site. Project Luangrath (L), Weaver, Wick, Garazatua, Syed (S) Initiative 1.5.3 Review 2016 Parks & Recreation Strategic Plan content, identify key study areas to include in upcoming 2026 update for topics, research and potential data collection. The Parks and Recreation Department completes a strategic plan every 10 years prior to the development of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The strategic plan informs the parks chapter of the comprehensive guide plan and is used as a pathway to prioritize and further develop the park system. This initiative will review the content of the 2016 plan, identify areas to add or modify for the upcoming work. Project Weaver (L), Pfuhl, Welsh, Kane Initiative 1.5.4 Research and if feasible, develop action plan or further research of no more than two Alternative Funding Strategies (2023 Work Plan Item) to progress that initiative. The commission delivered a report on alternative funding methods that could be considered to supplement financial contributions to the park system. This initiative will revisit that report and do an in-depth analysis on no more than two methods to provide greater analysis for consideration by the City Council. Project Luangrath (L), Pfuhl, Welsch, Hulbert Initiative 1.5.5 Review Climate Action Plan priorities and conduct research on external park agencies that are implementing projects that would be beneficial to the Edina Park system. The commission will review the Climate Action Plan with the Cityʼs Sustainability Manager for actions related to the Park System. Commissioners will then research external park agencies that are implementing projects successfully to address items in the plan that are relevant for consideration and planning in Edina.
