The 2000 Park, Trails and Open Space Plan designated a park space to be developed within the Chadwick Farm development. City staff collaborated with D.R. Horton to determine the space most suitable for this park space. In 2004 the developer deeded 8.69 acres located along South Creek to the city for the future park location. Possible locations of athletic decks were identified as well as trail connections to surrounding neighborhoods and the South Creek Greenway Corridor. The developer also made a cash contribution to satisfy their park dedication requirement.
What Are Park Dedication Funds?
The Park Dedication Fund is sustained through required Park Dedication Fees that developers must contribute at the completion of a new development. The required fees can be satisfied through a cash contribution, land dedication or a combination of both in some for instances. If a park space is not planned for a new development, the fees are collected in cash that can be utilized for new park construction and/or limited improvements. This and more information can be found in Lakeville's City Code.
What is the Adopt-A-Park Program?
Adopt-A-Park is a public service program for volunteers to pick up litter, identify safety hazards and to freely communicate other issues associated with a particular park.
Program Guidelines
Adopt-A-Park is open to community groups, civic groups, churches and individual citizens for a minimum period of one year. Commitments may be for a longer term, preferably at least two years. Park sites are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis with priority given to past Adopt-A-Park participants. For more information about adopting a park, contact Lakeville's Parks Administration by email.
