The construction of Legacy Park occurred in 2023 at a cost $516,937 paid for by park dedication funds. KJ Walk, Inc., deeded 3.06 acres of land in addition to a cash contribution to meet their park dedication contribution requirement. The need for this neighborhood park was identified in the 2015 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan (PDF) to serve the North Creek and other nearby neighborhoods. The location south of 170th Street and east of Pilot Knob was chosen due the area's close proximity to the North Creek Regional Greenway that the park's trails provide access to.
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.
