community meetings, surveys and feedback
opportunities over the last several months.
Consultant Confluence, with direction from
the Parks & Recreation Department and the
Parks & Recreation Commission, developed
concept plans and refined them.
This summer, the City Council approved the
final Master Plan for the park, clearing the
way for the designs to come to life.
“The Fred Richards Park Master Plan
creates a very exciting new and unique
park in Edina,” said Ann Kattreh, Parks &
Recreation Director. “Fred Richards Park will
provide opportunities for year-round access,
activities, amenities and a restored natural ecosystem for
all of Edina’s residents to rest, play and learn.”
Fred Richards Park will subtly divide into sections,
providing different experiences for people and nature.
Park plans are organized around these main areas:
Nature Bank
The western side of the park will feature water, woods,
wetlands and open spaces returned to nature. It’s
the perfect spot for relaxation or learning about our
surroundings. Planned features include:
• Pollinator garden
• Wetlands restoration
• Nature play areas
• Boardwalk over water areas
• Places to sit and relax
Neighborhood Park
Located on the eastern edge of the park, this section
provides connections to the Parklawn Neighborhood and
a play spot for children. Planned features include:
• Traditional playground with play structures
• Picnic shelter

A former golf course is poised to become the next gem
among Edina’s renowned parks.
Fred Richards Park is being created on the 43 acres
of the former Fred Richard Golf Course, which closed
in 2014. At nearly double the size of Centennial Lakes
Park, Fred Richards Park will be home to year-round
recreational opportunities.
The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail (featured in the cover
photo) already winds through the land. The trail will
remain a key part of the nature experience as the rest of
the park is created around it.
In planning, three major themes evolved, based on public
input: restore nature’s role on the park land, create
pathways for play and health, and provide space for
activities that invite the whole community.
Residents of the immediate neighborhoods and
people across the city gave their ideas during several

2017-2018 Fall/Winter
Great Lawn
This area south of The Loop and north of the old
clubhouse will have lots of parking available nearby.
Planned features include:
• Large open lawn
• Field that accommodates sports and special events
• Open field when no sports are in session
Central Green
This section of the park near the Great Lawn, old
clubhouse and parking will host a variety of activities.
Planned features include:
• Pickleball courts
• Multipurpose sport court for basketball and futsal
• Small stage/yoga deck
• Playground
• Swings
The Loop
The northernmost section of the park, north of the
Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, featuring a looping trail
among gardens and open spaces. Planned features
include:
• Rolling walking trail
• Native prairie garden
• Garden seating
Other Features
In the winter, areas of the park will feature sledding,
snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing. Uses for the
former clubhouse building are being discussed.
The plan includes 155 parking stalls on Fred Richards
Park property with the addition of a parking lot. The
plan calls for additional parking from redevelopment
of Pentagon Park. Outside of city property, the project
anticipates 234 shared parking spaces.

WINTER ICE FESTIVAL
In celebration of winter, Centennial Lakes Park will host
the 27th-annual Winter Ice Festival from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday,
Jan. 14, 2018.
Visitors to the park can have their faces painted and ride
on a horse-drawn wagon. Ice skates and kick sleds will
be available for rent from the Hughes Pavilion, which
serves as a warming house and concessions stand during
the winter months. Those who have their own skates are
welcome to bring them and skate for free! An ice sculpting
demonstration will take place behind the Hughes Pavilion
during the festival.
SKATING AT CENTENNIAL LAKES PARK
Centennial Lakes Park features a 10-acre lake that is
groomed daily during the winter for ice skating. Spread out
over three main ponds connected by narrow, meandering
canals, the rink gives skaters a unique skating experience
found only at Centennial Lakes!
Complementing the rink is a cozy, rink-side warming house,
complete with indoor and outdoor fireplaces, restrooms,
concessions and skate rental. Concession items include
hot chocolate, pop, popcorn, hot dogs, chips and candy.
Skate rental is available for $6 per pair, with sizes ranging
from children’s Size 8 up to adult Size 13. Ice sleds may
also be rented for $7 per hour. A photo identification must
be given as a deposit for all rentals. There is no admission
charge for skating.
Concessions stand and skate rental hours are 4 to 9:30
p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays
and noon to 9:30 p.m. Sundays and most school holidays.
Please note that although concessions and rentals do not
open until 4 p.m. on weekdays, the skating rink opens at
noon to accommodate those with their own skates.
The rink is typically open from mid-December through
mid-February, depending upon the weather. Please call
952-833-9586 for updates.
Putting Course
It’s not miniature golf, it’s golf in miniature! Centennial
Lakes Park’s 18 manicured bentgrass greens range in
length from 57 to 125 feet and are surrounded by sand
traps, ponds, boulders and planter beds.
Players use only a putter to negotiate these heavily
undulated greens. This Par 51 layout is 1,662 feet in length
and takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to play.
All ages and abilities are welcome. However, due to the
difficulty of the course, it is recommended that players be
at least 8 years old.
Lawn Games
The park features championship-caliber croquet and
lawn bowling courts. These lush bentgrass lawns are
some of the finest in the Midwest. Courts may be rented
by the hour, with all equipment and written instructions
included in the court fee. The park also hosts a variety of
tournaments and leagues throughout the summer.
Paddleboats
For a more leisurely activity, take a lazy ride along the
waterways of Centennial Lakes on one of our sturdy
four-person paddleboats. The park’s lake consists
of large bodies of water in the north and south ends
connected by a channel that runs under bridges, along
the putting course and past the Hughes Pavilion.
Paddling by boat is a great way to see the park.
Group Outings
Organize your own tournament, or call ahead and we
will be happy to assist you with all of the details of your
event. Afterward, visit any of the great restaurants
along our lakeshore, or retire to the Hughes Pavilion
where you can have your caterer serve up a special
meal. Call 952-833-9583 for more information. Please
note that group reservations on the putting course are
only available Monday through Friday until 5 p.m. No
reservations can be made for weekends or evenings.

pottery. Raku is a firing process developed
in 16th century Japan for the Japanese tea
ceremony. Bisque pots are glazed, dried and fired
in the kiln where they remain until the glazes have
melted at temperatures around 1,800 degrees. The piece
is removed hot from the kiln, put into a metal “reduction
chamber” full of combustible material that burns and
alters the glaze, color and surface. The Raku process is
fun and hands-on and produces wonderful, lustrous and
crackle glazes. *No class Nov. 10 or 24. Maximum 5.

BEGINNING DRAWING
For Beginner to Intermediate
Donna Webb
Artists are “see-ers.” They literally see the world around
them in a different way than the rest of us. Yet, all of us have
the ability to be “see-ers.” To learn how to draw, we must
first learn to “look” without preconceptions. We will practice
this artist’s way of looking and drawing from observation,
and experiment with a number of drawing techniques that
have been used by artists over the centuries. This class
is geared toward beginners, but is suitable for those who
wish to refresh their drawing skills or just need a class or
assignment to get them going. *This class meets at the
Edina Senior Center, 5280 Grandview Square. Maximum 8.

and shortcuts that help get better results and make
watercolor more exciting and easier. It is thrilling to coax

“Aging in Place means our residents make Heritage of Edina Assisted Living Community their home, and they many never have to move again,” states Maria Field, CEO at Heritage of Edina, Inc. “As an individual’s health declines, many are forced to leave a senior living community in order to get the kind of cares they need. At age 85, no one wants to feel like they must live out of a suitcase once they leleave their long-term home for a senior living community.”Moving an elderly member of the family is traumatic and difficult in so many ways. “People need to feel a sense of community,” states Field. To start all over again in a strange place can be a frightening and lonely experience.Jane Willette, a Resident at Heritage for six years remembered being reluctant to move from her home. But upon moving into Heritage, she was welcomed into the family. She became the official “greeter” on her oor, chatted with everyone who came to visit and was often found laughing and socializing with her friends.
In her younger years as a professional, Jane was an Interior
Decorator. At Heritage, she happily shared her skills and
knowledge with the new Residents; always showing her
apartment to those touring, or giving advice and
assistance to those moving in.During Jane’s life at Heritage
of Edina, she was diagnosed with Dementia and then
Alzheimer’s Disease but never had to move away from her
friends and the staff she had gfriends and the staff she had grown to know and love.
The range of cares that can be provided by Assisted Living
is so broad that it “causes confusion in the marketplace,
and so often a doctor will order that a person needs
‘nursing home’ care, when what they truly need is a place
like Heritage of Edina, which is much more like home,”
states Field.
Kate Sones, Director of Nursing and an employee of 20
years, agrees. What she likes best about Heritage is that
“we really do allow people to Age in Place. Because we
provide Extended Assisted Living and offer Hospice, it is
rare that any of our residents need to spend time in a
nursing home.” Sones recommends families question a
doctor who orders nursing home care for their loved one.
Unless they Unless they require staff-administered sliding-scale
insulin, tube feeding, IV antibiotics, or complicated
wound care, “they don’t need to be in a nursing home,
but can come to Heritage of Edina to live out their days.” 3 Buildings - 57 Years of Care
