What we're working on!
A proposed project at Heroes Park would introduce a ninja‑warrior‑themed playground designed with a high‑performance turf safety surface and spanning approximately 5,000 square feet. This dynamic play area would feature an exciting mix of challenge‑based elements—including start/stop bollards, ninja steps, floating boards, agility pods, a U‑turn ramp, sway steps, a traverse wall, and a series of agility trainers—intentionally arranged to promote balance, coordination, and strength. As the first amenity of its kind in Dickinson, the course would create a unique recreational destination tailored especially to youth ages 12–18, offering an engaging, skill‑building environment that bridges the gap between traditional playgrounds and more advanced fitness‑focused activities.

A proposed improvement within Jaycee Park includes the installation of approximately 1,150 feet of 10‑foot‑wide asphalt trail, creating new pedestrian connections to both E. Broadway and 5th Ave. W. This segment represents the first phase of the future River Trail system and will serve as a key link in expanding multimodal access throughout the area. The trail will provide convenient access to the Heart River kayak launch points and will feature at least three pedestrian benches to support rest and viewing opportunities along the route. Expanded trail options continue to be one of the most frequently requested amenities in our community surveys, and this project marks an important step toward meeting that need while enhancing recreational, scenic, and transportation opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

A 9-hole executive golf course on the south side of Patterson Lake with irrigation from the lake. The course could offer a thoughtfully designed blend of par‑3 and short par‑4 holes, providing an enjoyable experience for beginners while still offering strategic challenges for seasoned players. The layout may incorporate natural contours, native grasses, and small water features to enhance both playability and aesthetics. Amenities could include a modest clubhouse or starter building with restrooms, a small pro shop, and outdoor seating. Practice elements—such as a putting green or short‑game area—could complement the course and expand programming opportunities.
