Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution approves the Quarry Park Mini-Master Plan (Exhibit A) and implementation thereof.
The development of the mini-master plan aligns with the parks and recreation master plan to have parks serve community needs by gathering input from the surrounding community. City sponsored forums for public input regarding Quarry Park were held on the following dates: January 14 and February 11, 2016. A public comment period was open from March 21 - April 1, 2016. Comments received during this period were incorporated into the final mini-master plan. The plan was reviewed and approved by the Duluth Parks and Recreation Commission during a special meeting held April 20, 2016. At the same meeting the Parks and Recreation Commission also voted in support of dedicating Quarry Park as an official city park.
