South St. Paul Park System Plan

HKGi recently completed a Parks Master Plan for the City of South St. Paul. Like many older, fully developed suburban communities, South St. Paul’s park system has a limited ability to expand and finances are also tight, making ongoing improvements or upgrades to existing equipment and facilities challenging.

The system plan HKGi developed with the assistance and input of City staff and community members provides the City with an asset management tool—an inventory of its current system and an assessment of the system’s condition—that can be used to establish maintenance and improvement priorities and identify funding strategies and a timeline to methodically guide future investments and ongoing operations the park system.

The Plan also includes a wide variety of other critical elements such as 12 system initiatives, concept plans for all 16 city parks, and strategies and priorities to guide future implementation initiatives.
