Scenic Heights Park To Serve All Ages In Shakopee

Press release from the City of Shakopee:

February 10, 2021

Earlier this month, the Shakopee City Council approved a multi-generational concept design for Scenic Heights Park. The proposed design includes pickleball courts, an expanded playground and large bankshot course.

City staff reached out to neighborhood residents to solicit feedback on two proposed park designs. Most residents preferred a more multi-generational park where residents of all ages can play and relax along the Vierling Greenway. The park will also incorporate native plantings and an edible community garden.

Early in park planning, it became obvious to staff that Scenic Heights Park serves more as a community park than a neighborhood park given its dense service area. Therefore, the city plans to phase park improvements over the coming years as the park development budget allows.

The first phase of the project - playground replacement - will be completed in 2021.

Learn more about the concept design on project webpage.
