PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

PARK PROJECT UPDATES

Final design selected for Jennifer Lane Park This spring, the Prairie Meadows development will get a new play-focused park featuring Shakopee's first bankshot court. In November, the City Council approved a concept plan for Jennifer Lane Park, a .85-acre park at Jennifer Lane and Meadow Court. Residents helped drive the park design by participating in a variety of community engagement activities, including surveys and open houses. The council also approved a concept plan for playground replacement at Timber Trails Park, 1397 Blue Heron Trail. The combined budget for the two parks is $390,000. Construction is planned for spring 2021.
