The land for Dodd Pointe Park was deeded to the city in 1984 by Shamrock Builders, Inc. as their park dedication contribution for the Dodd Pointe First Addition plat. The park includes a playground, basketball court and trail connections.
The playground equipment was replaced in 2019 at a cost of $88,816.35 utilizing park dedication funds. In 2022, the basketball court was resurfaced as part of the 2021 Park Bond Referendum.
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.
