Lansing Parks Board
Dear Parks Board Members,
Unfortunately, due to a previous commitment. I am unable to attend your five
year plan public hearing this evening. As President of the Friends of the River,
however, I have been asked to share some of our concerns for possible inclusion I
in the five year plan. Our suggestions are as follows:
A) The City of Lansing through its Parks & Recreation Department should
schedule an extensive riverfront clean-up every five years with routine
maintenance of the river banks to be conducted by the Parks Department
on a continuing basis.
B) Riverfront Park and the Riverfront Iliking Biking Trail on both the Grand
and Red Cedar rivers should be given a Class I Maintenance status.
C) Public recreaton on Lansing's rivers should be encouraged and agressively
promoted. (i.e_, fishing contests, water skiing, boat rides, rowing com-
petiton, environmental education programs, etc.)
D) The City should immediately prepare a five year development plan for the
completion of the Red Cedar Iliking/Biking path all the way to Michigan
State University.
E) The City should encourage partnerships between public and private river -
front property owners and developers to further economic and recreatonal
development purposes along our rivers.
F) The city should promote and encourage'the construction of the Indian Center
planned for placement on the river point property.
G) The City of Lansing should actively work with the State and Federal govern-
ments to obtain adequate channel markers for the expanded recreational river
traffic west of Waverly road.
H) The City should also work with County, State and Federal officials to initiate
the dredging of the Red Cedar to open up boating through Potter Park
Zoo to Aurelius Road.
I) We also strongly suggest the Parks Board work with the Mayor and City
Council to place the administrative offices of the Parks and Recreation
Department in the Scott Park and Garden Center located at the inter-
section of Washington Avenue, Main Street and the Grand River.
Your careful consideration of these recommendations from the Friends of the
River is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
i

RE: FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR POTTER PARK ZOO
TEL: (517) 371-3926
RN 38 2153808
MICS 6180
The City of Lansing and the Friends of the Zoo Society have a master
plan for the Potter Park Complex; prepared by the firm of Basset and
Wells. This plan will renovate and renew the entire zoo and park
when the eight phases are completed.
Implementation of the entire plan will cost about 6 million dollars
(1984 dollars). The voters of Lansing overwhelmingly approved a tax
levy, which will generate 1.5 million dollars, in the August, 1984
primary election. This support (72 % voted in favor) indicates the
high priority Potter park has in the community. The bonds from this
levy will help implement the master plan; however much more revenue
will be needed.
A committee, comprised of persons from the Lansing Parks and
Recreation Department and the Zoo Society Board of Directors, is
currently developing a plan for raising the additional revenue
needed. Sources of revenue will include federal', state and private
grants; corporate and public donations, fund-raisers, membership
drives, help from fraternal and civic organizations, and many others.
It is the goal of this committee to complete the master plan for
Potter Park by the spring of 1990.
The Zoo Society has worked since ;969 to make improvements at Potter
Park. Our success to date has been gratifying. This will be the
largest project we have undertaken, in cooperation with the City of
Lansing. We feel it is a very necessary and worthwhile project.
Potter Park serves the citizens of Lansing and an urban comunity of
320,000 persons. It affords these people an educational and
recreational opportunities not available anywhere else in the area.
We wish to continue to provide these opportunities in the best way
possible, by displaying the animals at Potter Park Zoo in a more
natural environment, conserving the character and physical attributes
of the park, and offering a greater learning experience to all who
visit.
Sincerely,
ELLEN LUMBERT - President
Friends of the Zoo Society

Maintenance Program - Future Projections
Due to the tightening of the budget, there is no projection of increasing
staff nor equipment. The basis projection is that the operating budget
and services will be maintained at the existing level. As a new facility
is added to the system, or maintenance is increased in one area, it will
result in a loss of man hours in another area of the system. It is, the
goal of the department that the maintenance budget will maintain itself
at its present dollar figure. The decrease in the value of the dollar
due to the inflation rate will be equalized with the following department
improvements:
1) More effective use of management personnel.
2) More efficient equipment.
3) Preventive maintenance of equipment.
4) Better staff training to improve efficiency.
5) Better scheduling to improve staff efficiency.
6) Centralized facilities to maintain to reduce travel and set
up time, ie: a softball complex.

BASIS FOR CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT SCHEDULE
In formulating the projects for the Capitol Improvement Schedule, the
Department sought out and studied several types of information. The
information used to base the Capitol Improvements on included accessed
needs, service groups, city policy, staff imput, maintenance requirements,
budgetary limitations, and community imput. (See the section "Planning
Process" for more detail)
After the information was studied certain projects were given a priority
status based on the collected information. These priority projects appear
in the Capitol Improvements Schedule. A. summary of the basis for projects
are stated in*the descriptions below.
TURNER -DODGE HOUSE- Turner -Dodge House is on the National Register and is
registered with the State History Division as a historic landmark. The.City
acquired Turner -Dodge House in 1974, in a total state of disrepair both
interiorly and exteriorly. Over the past ten years the City has continued
to renovate and repair the house to'a more useable condition. Today the
i
historic house is used for recreational programming as well as special
events. The h.ous.e i.s.still in need of repairs, additional decorating
and parking to make the house more functional for public use and, to
retain the historic value. that the house has for the citizens of the City.
POTTER PARK ZOO -Potter Park and Zoo has been an important and vibrant
part of the City since its initial development in 1915, with major zoo
development occuri.ng in the 1930's. After many years of wear and tear
both th.e park and zoo are in need of renovation and modernization.. In
1994, a Master Plan for Redevelopment was completed for renovation and
In
expansion of the zoo, estimated to be over $6.5 million. The community
whole-heartly supports the zoo and in August of 1984 passed a bond issue
for $1.5 million towards the zoo redevelopment. The City and it's residents
appreciate both the zoo's recreational and educational opportunities.
RED CEDAR BIKE PATH
The bike path along the river currently extends 2.5 miles along the east.
bank from Dietrich Park in the north to River St. in the south. The
development over the years has cleaned up much of the vacated industrial
areas along the river while opening the downtown river frontage to public
recreation. The goal of the City is to_extend the path along the Red
Cedar River to East Lansing and the Michigan State University system of
bike paths. The path is currently used as a circulation route for non -
motorized travel as well as recreational uses.
FULTON PARK (Formerly_ Sheffield Park)
Acquired in 1968, Fulton Park with it's abutting neighbor, Fine Park is
truely one of the most unique parks'that the City has. The high bluffs,
the river frontage, and its size make it a rare and special -park. The park
serves the demands of the neighborhoou as well as visitors from the entire
city. The proposed developments would offer greater recreational
opportunities to the"park's visitors and thus use the site more effectively.
HUNTER PARK
Hunter Park is -currently in need of total redevelopment. In 1984, Hunter
Park Pool under a went $360,000 renovation. The locker rooms and pool are
now totally barrier free. In the summer, the department offers swimming
programs at the pool for the general -and handicapped public.
0
31
Being a park that is in need of redevelopment and already draws handicapped
people, it is the goal of the department to increase the accessibility
within the park. The developments would provide paved walks to the
existing tennis courts and to.an accessible play area. The new play
area would provide proper equipment for the special children in additi.on
to the existing play equiprent.
SOFTBALL COMPLEX
The Park will be a new Ballfield complex with five new diamonds. The complex
would consolidate maintenance to one site versus the present scattered
diamonds. The consolidation would also alleviate traffic and noise
problems that currently exist with the scattered neighborhood diamonds.
The complex would offer a scheduled location for league play and outside
sponsored tournaments on up to date lighted facilities.
FE1411ER ARBORETUM
Fenner Arboretum Nature Center is located within 120 acres. of the Arboretum.
The center serves as an educational- center for the natural world. Currently
a
the department offers several programming opportunities at the Center. The
Center however is not barrier free. The goal of the department is to be
able to offer the nature programming and educational opportunities to
all its residents. To achieve this goal the Center requires paved ramps
and walks to the building, an elevator, and.restroom renovations.
TENNIS COURT REPLACEMENT/REPAIR
These three existing facilities are in need of redevelopment or repairs.
The repairs are needed to insure the continued use of the facilities and
to stop continual decay. The tennis courts are very popular and would be
missed by the residents if they no longer could be used.,

COMMUNITY, DESCRIPTION
COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION
The City of Lansing irr the 1980 U.S. Census Bureau Census is listed as having
a population'of'130,414 people.
On the following pages of this section are brief descriptions of the City's
characteristics as well as maps depicting the information in a more useful
manner. Census information from the 1980 U.S. Census Bureau Census has
been recorded and broken into information by Census Tract Neighborhoods.
Due to the fact that Parks and Recreation are often neighborhood
oriented, we feel that the neighborh000d'structure for information is the
most useful.
A. Context Maps
1. Regional Map (Page ): The regional map shows the location
of the City of Lansing to be in the central region of the
lower peninsula. The City is the major hub of the Tri-County
Area serving Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties. The
City's area is approximately 32 square miles.
2. Political Boundaries (Page ): The map illustrates the
corporate limits of the City and the four political wards.
3. Neighborhood Map (Page ): The map outlines the neighbor-
hoods of the City as they were broken down for'th'e 1980
U.S. Census Tracts. This map is the base map for the maps
involving census data.
B. Social Description
1. Age Distribution (Page ):
The age distributon,of the City,
0
has been broken down into groups with the following percentage
of the residents -falling into the groups:
8.6 % of the population is under 5 years old.
7.9 % of the population ages 5-9 years old.
7.8 % of the population ages 10-14 years old.
8.5 %' of the population ages 15-19 years old.
50.9 % of the population ages 20-54 years old.
16.3 % of the population ages 55+ years old.
Each of these age groups are represented on individual maps
and broken into percentages for each neighborhood. Based
on the above percentages, it is interesting to note that
the birth rate has remained fairly constant. Presently
the median age is expected to rise as well as the percentage
of people over 55 years old. In future years, recreation
programming should experience a constant rate of participants
in all age groups with a rise in the older adult age group
requiring additional programming needs.
2. Sex Distribution and Female Percentages (Page ):
Presently 52.2 % of the City's population is female. The
map points out the neighborhoods that have a slightly higher
or lower percentage of females.
3. Racial Distribution (Pages ): The City of Lansing is
predominately White, with a rising population of both
Black and Spanish. In 1980 the following racial
distribution existed:
White 80.0 k
Black 13.9

r�
U
6) Unemployment (Page )
Seventy-four percent of the residents 16 years and over were
recorded as being in the City's labor force. Persons 16
years and over that were out of work force 15 or more weeks
numbered 6,446 or 4.9% of the City's residents. Total persons
with unemployment were 17,457 or 13.4% of the residents.
7) Economic Levels (Pages )
The neighborhood maps show the percentage of the population
in the neighborhoods that have incomes between $0 - 15,000.
$15,000 - 25,000, 25,000 - 35,000, and those above $35,000.
The neighborhood maps are useful in identifying low income
areas as well as the sectors of the City that depend on the
City for their recreational needs. Based on 1979 income
levels, from the 1980 U.S. Census data, 43.8% of the
households have incomes below $15,000, 28.9% between $15,000
and $25,000, 16.7% between $25,000 and $35,000, and 10.5%
have incomes over $35,000. The mean family income is
$19,031 with the median income at V16,975.
The City of Lansing, as it exists today is primarily a built environment.
There are very few areas within the City that exist as natural environments.
A large majority of the remaining unbuilt land remains under the
jurisdiction of the department as both maintained and natural parklands.
The City itself is surrounded by suburbs that are developed to a lesser
degree than the City.
C. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
1) Water Resources: (Page ) The City of Lansing is very
fortunate to have both the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers as
well as Sycamore Creek flowing through its limits. The
water offers recreational opportunities as well as beauty
to the City. The acquisition of river frontage has been
an important aspect of park planning since the early
1920's. Currently the department has a 2.5 mile bike
path along the river, and owns over 22 miles of the
32 miles of river frontage within the city limits. The
City will continue the established policies for
riverfront land acquisition and development.
2) Soils: All of the soils in Lansing are disturbed urban
soils. For the most.part the existing soils are classified
as of a Marlette-Capac Association with well drained to
poorly drained loamy soils. With the rivers and creek,
the City,'has a large amount of land within the flood
plain subject to periodic flooding and silting.
•
3) Topography: For the most part there is very little grade change
within the City. The rivers and creek banks -are quite low in
height with a very gradual rise up from the banks. The
western part of the City does experience a little more grade
change but nothing that tends to effect the land's usability.
4) Vegetation: Being a built environment, the City's vegetation
is primarily that which has been planted. The parklands contain
a large amount of Oak, Ash and Maple in the drier areas with
Black Locust, Willows, Box Elder, and Cottonwoods along the
river banks. In most areas the underbrush is maintained and
the areas mowed but a few natural areas do allow natural
succession of vegetation.
5) Fish and Wildlife: The City relies on its water resources as
well as the natural areas for its experiences with the natural
environment and wildlife. The Grand River is used by many
sportsmen and casual fishers for recreational enjoyment.
Fenner Arboretum, Crego (Natural Area and Scott Woods offer
excellent locations for the study of habitats.
6) Proposed Land Use: (Pages ) The City has' a very active and
extensive Planning Department. The Planning Department is
responsible for current development as well as proposed land
use planning. The -maps depict the proposed land use to 1990.
All existing developed park land is proposed to be maintained
as parkland; undeveloped parkland will be accessed as the need
arises.
7) Circulation: (Pages ) These maps illustrate the major
transportation patterns within the City.
8) Bus Routes: (Page ) Buses for the public are owned and
operated by the Capitol Area Transit Authority (CATA). The
map shows the existing bus routes. These routes make many
of the parks and community centers accessible to a greater
number of public. Certain CATA facilities are equipped for
the physically handicapped and wheelchair bound persons.
