The Council decided that further discussion was warranted to determine what level of improvements at Tanners Lake Park can be pursued given the estimated budget. Feedback from the Council during the August 12, 2026 Workshop discussion included: • The project team should revisit the parking lot design to determine whether additional spaces can be incorporated. • Council would like the project team to explore alternate ADA trail connections to the playground area. • The picnic shelter and fishing pier relocation alternates should not be included in this round of improvements and can be implemented in the future. • Fully rebuilding, instead of repairing, the southern courts is necessary due to their poor condition. • Council was supportive of finding ways to add lighting with trail reconstruction as safety within the park is a priority. The detailed breakdown of costs associated with base cost and the different potential Tanners Lake Park improvements will be sent under separate cover. ## COUNCIL DIRECTION REQUESTED It is requested that the City Council provide input and direction on the desired improvements to be included in the Tanners Lake Park Improvement Project, improvements that could be deferred to a later phase, and if any adjustments to the Tanners Lake Park Improvement Project budget should be made. ## Attachment ## Plan Sheets – Tanners Lake Park Concept Options 25' 50' 100' Scale: 1'=50' ## REMOVALS PLAN 1 ## REMOVALS PLAN ## KAT ## NLS ## C101 ## File Path: ## ..\250707\500 Drawings\LA\250707.TL L101 Landscape Plan.dwg 701 Washington Ave. N, Ste 200 | Minneapolis, MN 55401 | 612.338.2029 THIS SQUARE APPEARS 1/2" x 1/2" ## ON FULL SIZE SHEETS ## 7/28/2026 8:09 AM ## Plot Date: ## CLIENT: ## CITY OF OAKDALE ## 4444 HADLEY AVE N ## OAKDALE, MN 55128 ## NO ## DATE ## REVISION ## NO ## DATE ## ISSUED FOR ## COPYRIGHT 2026 ## BY LHB, INC.
