Long Lake Regional Park New Shelter Survey
The picnic shelter rental season may be over, but Ramsey County Parks and Recreation is already busy designing a new picnic shelter for the section of Long Lake Regional Park called Lions Park. The capacity of the shelter will be approximately 150 people. It will be located next to the parking lot at Lions Park, near a new bathroom building, and in close proximity to a playground, softball field and soccer field. We need your input to design the best shelter possible.
