Action Requested
Discuss the Athletic Facilities Master Plan for Oak Knoll (OKAC), Dave Anderson Athletic Complex (DAAC),
and Plants and Things Recreation Complex (PT Complex) presented by HKGi.
Background/Discussion
On March 8, 2023, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the Athletic Field Analysis. Results from
the analysis report presented to the City Council on June 5 included a shortage of dedicated fields and an overuse
of existing fields. The next step was the master planning process.
The master planning process started in June of 2023 for OKAC, DAAC, and PT Complex with a project advisory
committee formed including Dave Williams, Mike Brown, and Ryan Holmgren. Dave Williams was replaced by
Greg Loidolt in December of 2023.
The last meeting of the advisory committee was on December 13 to review the latest concept drafts of the athletic
facilities. The plan incorporated highlights from premier facilities including Schwan’s Regional Amateur Sports
Complex in Marshall, Riverside Park Ballfield in Springfield, Johnson Ballpark in New Ulm, Caswell Complex in
Noth Mankato and Gleason Fields in Maple Grove that staff visited in October.
Financial Impact
Cost estimates for the master plan updates were presented at the last commission meeting.

COMPLEX Removes 2 softball fields and replaces them
with open field space that can accommodate up to
a full
sized rectangle field or multiple youth
sized fields Improves safety considerations by reducing the
number of
softball fields and having play occur behind spectators Installation
of drain tile in the outfields
to reduce flooding/ponding that is occurring today
Addition of a centralized
plaza and shelter to support recreational field
use Creation of new parking to
support field programming, as well as Orono
