PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Future park makes the most of nature A uniquely designed park is coming to theWindermere Neighborhood on the west end of Shakopee later this year In a city survey about the future park, residents indicated they would prefer a nature-based park and playground
The playground itself will be nature-based and built into the bluff The park will also include a tall observation platform so visitors can walk to the top for a beautiful view of Shakopee from atop the bluff Construction on Windermere Neighborhood Park is expected to begin by late summer or early fall and will become part of a larger, connected network of parks and trails planned to serve the greater community on the west end of the city
The concept plans for Windermere Neighborhood Park, which have been approved by the Shakopee City Council, will include a hillside playground, immersive nature path with benches, an accessible trail, a hammock grove and plenty of green space NATURE-THEMED PLAYGROUND NATURE-THEMED PLAYGROUND

Apples and carrots and chives, oh my! City seeking caretaker for new edible gardens at Scenic Heights DECEMBER 02, 2021 3
Imagine visiting a local park and being able to pick fresh fruits and vegetables while you’re there, whether as a quick snack or to take home for tonight’s side dish That’s exactly what the city’s vision is for the Scenic Heights Edible Landscape, which will be installed this spring at Scenic Heights Park, 1195 Ruby Lane The edible landscape will be home to a variety of edible trees, shrubs, herbs and annuals that are available for anyone in the community to harvest and eat This community garden is made possible by an $8,000 grant from Scott County Public Health and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP)
Some of the edible plants that will be grown include apple, pear and plum trees; blueberries, raspberries, currant and chokeberries; aspara gus, rhubarb, broccoli, carrots, kale, corn and spinach; chive, oregano, sage, thyme, rosemary and more The city is seeking community members or groups to volunteer to care for the edible landscape and coordinate a care schedule. This could include planting, weeding and watering the plants, as well as reporting any issues to the city To learn more about becoming involved in caretaking the edible landscape, contact Senior Planner Alyssa Olson at aolson@ShakopeeMN.gov or by calling 952-233-9345
