INTRODUCTION
On January 13, 2003, the city council directed staff to contract with Maxfield Research Inca to
perform a market analysis of the Hillcrest Village and Gladstone neighborhood redevelopment
areas. Mary Bujold and Sam Newberg of Maxfield Research have completed their study and will
present their findings to the city council on June 23, 2003 at the city council /manager workshop
session. I have enclosed a copy of the Maxfield report for the council's review.
BACKGROUND

develop new mixed -use zoning regulations for the Hillcrest Village area. Our goal is to : wra up
this study and present a recommendation to the city council by October 27, 2003. In 481H n, we

SUBJECT: Outdoor Basketball
Introduction
The Maplewood Parks and Recreation Department has 36 parks of which 18 have outdoor
basketball facilities. The basketball facilities range from half -court facilities to full -court fiberglass
boards, three -point line color -coded facilities. Outdoor basketball is a very popular activity and
we receive a great deal of usage at our parks.
Background
During the past three years, we have received increased phone calls, e- mails, and letters from
our residents regarding inappropriate conduct relating to outdoor basketball. The complaints
have primarily centered around four basketball facilities. The four parks are Western Hills,
Edgerton, Maplecrest, and Maplewood Heights Parks.
The city council at staff's request removed the basketball standards at Edgerton Park/School on
May 27. The Parks and Recreation Commission met with neighbors (approximately 40) along
with Councilmember Juenemann on Monday, June 16.
The concern from the Maplecrest Park neighbors was similar to the Edgerton issue indicating
increased traffic, inappropriate behavior, loud noise, increased trash, and if you will,
monopolizing the basketball court so neighborhood children could not play.
The Parks and Recreation Commission met to discuss this issue following the tour on Monday
night at their regularly scheduled meeting and requested staff to pursue the concept of
developing a basketball center utilizing the five standards from Edgerton, Maplecrest,
Maplewood Heights, and Western Hills Parks. The Commission further discussed location and
thought that the south end of the Community Center parking lot might be an ideal location.
Staff has since met with representatives from Ramsey County and I am pursuing the concept of
developing an outdoor basketball center in the northeast corner of Aldrich Arena parking lot.
There has been a great deal of discussion at staff level and the opinions are as varied as there
are individuals discussing the topic. One of the ironies is that everyone seems to agree that it is
a very unique and novel idea and would clearly be successful. The general concept is that
individuals who like to play basketball tend to get involved in pickup games and by clustering
three to five courts in one location, we would in effect create a basketball mecca. Along with this
concept , it may create increased problems from a policing perspective due to noise, litter, need
for supervision, etc.
Recommendation
Staff would like to spend five to ten minutes discussing this concept with the city council to see
what your general thoughts are regarding relocating some of the neighborhood basketball
facilities to a centralized location.

FROM:
DATE:
Bruce K. Anderson, Director
June 9, 2003 for the June 16
SUBJECT: Outdoor Basketball
Introduction
Sion Meeting
The city of Maplewood has 17 park sites that have outdoor basketball standards. The sites vary
in condition and vary in whether they are one hoop or a full court setting. The use of the
basketball court varies from site to site, as does the general acceptance from the neighborhood.
City staff requested and the city council complied with removal of the basketball rims at
Edgerton Park on Tuesday, May 27.
Background
Hard court surfaces and specifically basketball play, has been a part of the Maplewood park
system since the beginning of time. The individuals who most frequently utilize basketball tend
to be male and 17 -23 years old.
During the past two years, inappropriate behavior related to basketball has become more
significant. The primary concerns are related to inappropriate language, loud music, and
increased car traffic in the neighborhood.
Being a first tier suburb, Maplewood receives a great deal of play from the core cities as well as
outlying rural areas. Obviously society is much more mobile which allows greater distances to
be traveled. Also our courts are in relatively good condition, three point lines, glass backboards,
adjustable heights, and other amenities that hoop players enjoy.
I have included a variety of correspondence relating to Edgerton and Maplecrest Parks. Both
park neighborhoods have formally requested that the basketball hoops be removed. Based on a
community meeting on May 27 attended by over 40 residents at the Parkside fire station, I
recommended and the city council concurred to remove the rims at Edgerton Park. This
decision was difficult as I do not believe that basketball per se is a problem, but rather the
inappropriate behavior of those utilizing the courts.
I have scheduled a meeting with a number of residents at 6:15 p.m. on June 16 at Maplecrest
Park to allow the commission to hear firsthand some of the concerns residents have. I have also
included a copy of the city park map, which highlights the sites where we currently have
basketball facilities.
One of the ironies of this issue is that the two sites that probably have the greatest inappropriate
behavior are Western Hills Park at Larpenteur and Adolphus and Maplewood Heights Park at
Beam and White Bear Avenue. We have not received any requests to remove hoops at either of
these sites.
This issue becomes fairly complex and will ultimately involve a policy decision by the city council
either on a citywide basis or a site basis.
I encourage the commission to listen to the comments at Maplecrest Park and work with staff
and city council to find a reasonable resolution.
One of the concerns that I have is that we have not heard from the participants, but rather from
those that are affected by the basketball play. I specifically have not invited or placed a sign at
Maplecrest Park to invite the participants to joint in on the discussion, but hope the commission
would deem that to be a factor in the community discussion as well.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that commissioners attend the meeting with the neighbors at Maplecrest
Park and begin dialoging with the community and ultimately the city council as to the role of
outdoor basketball play in our neighborhood and community parks.
