Let's go to the Park, Burnsville Park Commission 1966Produced by the Village of Burnsville in 1966. The Commission recommends the acquisition of approximately 800 acres of land and its eventual development for park purposes. Just how these parks would be developed is discussed in this report.

Cliff Fen Park The initial design for the Splash pad at Cliff Fen Park.
June 25, 2015 Burnsville Sun/Thisweek News reports:
Setting is the popular Cliff Fen Park By John Gessner
Just in time for the dog days of summer, a 2,000-square-foot splash pad is set to debut at the Burnsville Lions Playground in Cliff Fen Park.
The pad, with up to 15 water features, will open the evening of Thursday, July 16. A grand opening will start at 6 p.m., with a ceremonial button-pushing at 6:30 to activate the water features, said Garrett Beck, Burnsville recreation supervisor.
The pad should be a hit, given the popularity of the park’s existing playground equipment and the splashing success of the streaming water feature in another Burnsville park, Nicollet Commons.
“Apple Valley has a splash pad and two swimming pools,” Beck said. “We don’t have a pool. The Nicollet Commons Park area is incredibly popular with the running water that goes through there. So it just made a lot of sense to have a splash pad go into a destination park like Lions Playground.”
The city is matching a $70,000 donation from the Burnsville Lions Club to build the $140,000 project. In 2013 the Lions donated $50,000 for finishing touches to a $300,000 play-equipment complex at Cliff Fen Park, located on East Cliff Road between Nicollet Avenue and River Ridge Boulevard in the Minnesota River bottom.
Burnsville Lions Playground, which opened in June 2013, replaced the worn Skyland Playground, which was more than 20 years old. Plans quickly followed for a splash pad in the destination park, which also features picnic shelters, a volleyball court, soccer and football fields, nature trails and a scenic wetland.
“Both the city and the Lions looked at future steps as it relates to providing more at Lions Park,” said Steve Knudsen, club president.
The Lions, funded by charitable gambling, have also committed $50,000 to second-phase improvements planned for Burnsville’s skate park, according to the city. The club has also donated $49,000 for improvements to the gun range in the basement of the police station, said member Bill Johnson, a city volunteer.
“Our club basically works on a concept of highest-priority community needs is where the funds go,” said Knudsen, adding that in an average month, the club donates $25,000 to $30,000. “The city’s priorities get ranked in there with other priorities in the community, such as food shelves. We do have a rhyme to our reason in terms of how we donate our money.”
Splash pad
The figure 8-shaped concrete pad will have a toddler area, a family area and an area for older children, with higher-intensity water features, Beck said.
There you can point water cannons at your friends, while the toddler area will have gentler sprays from a frog feature the little ones can rotate.
In all, there will be 12 to 15 water features, Beck said.
“When you push a button it will activate a different zone that will run for a set amount of time,” he said. “Then the water shuts off and someone else will push the button, and it will activate a new set. The splash pad is never running at 100 percent capacity. It’s always running different features at different times.”
The family area will have an overhead dumping bucket atop a tall flower feature.
“That bucket will fill up, and at some point when it gets so heavy, it will just dump the water,” Beck said. “Kids will stand underneath it with the intention of getting dumped on or avoiding getting dumped on.”
The grand opening will feature music and ice cream. Cliff Fen Park is at 120 E. Cliff Road
