FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Discussion Available On ‘Speak Up, Edina!’
Edina, Minn., September 30, 2016 – The City’s next online discussion is now available at SpeakUpEdina.org.
The discussion, which focuses on the Fred Richards Park Master Plan, is available until Nov. 4.
The City of Edina's Parks & Recreation Department will start a master planning process in November for the
site of the former Fred Richards Executive Golf Course, 7640 Parklawn Ave. The City will have a significant
public engagement process to inform and direct the master planning process for Fred Richard Park.
In the discussion, the City asks residents what type of outdoor recreational facilities are needed in the Edina
park system that could fit at Fred Richards; what type of recreational programming residents would like to see
at Fred Richards; how the clubhouse should be repurposed and what amenities residents would like within the
building; and, given the ponds and storm water retention at Fred Richards, how residents would like to use the
water as an amenity. Feedback from the discussion will be compiled and presented to the City Council Nov. 15,
and shared with Parks & Recreation staff.
