Summary
DRAFT

Soldiers Field Master Plan Update


Purpose of the Master Planning Process
Over the last five years, the City of Rochester has nearly
finished implementing the interim recommendations from the
2014 Master Plan. This plan update process was undertaken to
reexamine and solidify the long-term (10- to 20-year) vision for
the park and identify short- and long-term strategies to reach
that vision.

In 2020, the City approved a referendum for park investment.


Approximately $7 million of the referendum funding has been
targeted for Soldiers Field Memorial Park. The Master Plan
Update was intended to identify what improvements would
be made with this funding in the next three years, and what
improvements should be considered when funding is next made
available. Since the beginning of the update process, the City
has received additional grant and local funding and now has
$18.5 million to invest in improvements over the next three years.

Executive Summary
Surrounding Context
Soldiers Field Park is situated directly south of downtown and is a shared amenity for the public, the
University of Minnesota Rochester and the renowned Mayo Clinic. Downtown Rochester is a vibrant
and growing city that features historic architecture and established walkable neighborhoods
situated around the Zumbro River. The future economic health of the city looks bright; a diversified
economy is bolstered by similarly diverse residents. The University of Minnesota Rochester and the
Mayo Clinic have plans to grow, and the urban areas adjacent to Soldiers Field are slated for future
development.

The park is bounded generally by 12th Street / Highway 14 on the south, Broadway on the east, 7th
Street on the north and a residential neighborhood on the west. The formal entrance to the park is
at 3rd Avenue at the north by the war memorials, a secondary entrance is at 1st Avenue and access
to parking is off Soldiers Field Drive and George Gibbs Drive.

History of the Park


Originally a pasture, Soldiers Field was purchased as parkland by the American Legion. The golf
course was the first development in the park. Initially, it was six, and then nine holes with sand
greens. Later this was extended to an 18-hole course.

The South Fork of the Zumbro River was diverted to its present position in 1933. The engineering,
which includes the three dams, was done by the State Highway Department. The river is prone to
seasonal flooding in the spring which must be mitigated and considered in any design.

The park has been a core part of Rochester's history for nearly a century. One of the most
historically significant events held at Soldiers Field was in 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
conferred American Legion citations to Drs. C.H. and W.J. Mayo.

Development of the drives on the north end were completed in 1936, and the Legion Memorial was
installed in 1951 with an appropriate dedication ceremony. The memorial and symmetry of the
drives are key to the park's historic character.

The swimming pool, built in 1936 as a W.P.A. project, has been a popular destination for generations
of Rochester residents, and has been rebuilt over time.

Existing Park
Soldiers Field Memorial Park offers a wide variety of programming and
activities in its 150 acres of park space.

The memorials at the park’s northern entrance provide the


community with a place for remembrance and reflection. In addition,
there are many facilities for active recreation, including:

• 18-hole Golf Course


• 50m Lap Pool and Splash Pad
• Track and field with ice skating in winter
• Tennis courts (4)
• Baseball/Softball field
• Playgrounds (2)
• Hockey rinks in winter (2)
The northern portion of the park has several buildings which include a
pool house, a clubhouse for the golf course and utility buildings, many
of which and are showing signs of age and need maintenance.

With nearly 4,000 feet of riverfront, the park also possesses


potential for visual access to the Zumbro River. Currently, the primary
experience of the river is limited to golfers, except for a short stretch
along Broadway Avenue near the east playground.

Guiding Principles
A set of guidelines were developed to help shape the discussion and design ideas proposed for
Soldiers Field. These guiding principles were initially developed during the 2014 Master Planning
process and were evaluated and updated according to stakeholders and community input for
this Master Plan Update.

1. Preserve the park and the park boundary from future encroachment
2. Provide a welcoming and inclusive park for a growing and diverse community
3. Provide a variety of outdoor park spaces and programs, including
opportunities for non-programed recreation
4. Preserve the intent of the memorial areas
5. Address community needs for park evolution while incorporating historic
design elements
6. Strengthen park access and connections to downtown and other
surrounding neighborhoods
7. Provide trails and gathering spaces that engage park users with the river
8. Enhance the signage and way-finding system to orient and direct park users
9. Provide opportunities for winter use
10. Incorporate sustainable design practices
11. Consider life-cycle costs as well as capital costs for park improvements

Executive Summary 9

Community Engagement
To understand current needs and desires of the community and
surrounding neighborhoods, engagement opportunities were used
to involve residents, visitors, and stakeholders in providing feedback
about the development of the master plan update. The public was
asked to review initial ideas about park programming and provide
input on three design concepts.

Over two phases of public engagement, the effort was successful


in generating nearly 3,000 survey responses and online comments in
addition to 12 stakeholder meetings and four in-person events. The
input was evaluated by the project team and City staff and used to
inform the planning process and, ultimately, the final plan included in
this Master Plan Update.

Master Plan
After gathering a significant amount of public feedback on the preferred uses and design concept
options during both phases of community engagement, a preferred master plan for Soldier’s Memorial
Field Park was created. Priorities for the preferred plan were also developed from a review of the 2014
Master Plan (a process that also included extensive community input).

The goal was to identify a master plan that was both feasible and desirable to the community.
Grounded in the 2014 Master Plan document and adjusted based on knowledge of the 2016 Parks and
Recreation System Plan, the updated preferred plan for Soldiers Field Memorial Park incorporates the
desires heard through the most recent community engagement efforts, while minding the vision for
the park system as a whole. The preferred plan is divided into a Short-term (0-3 years) phase that
will capitalize on grant and other immediate funding opportunities, and a Long-term phase (10+ years)
intended to guide future investments.

Short-term Preferred Plan


The short-term preferred plan focuses on improvements that would be completed within
approximately three years. These improvements are projects that were identified as priorities
through public input, the 2014 Master Plan, and the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP)
federal grant that was awarded to the City. The ORLP grant projects include the aquatics facility
expansion, playground and shelter improvements, and additional trail connections in the northeast
and southwest corners of the park.

Key Recommendations:
• Aquatics
• Expand aquatics facility with renovated lap pool and bathhouse, additional features, and
lounge space

• Active Recreation/Sport Courts


• Add 2 basketball courts near the existing tennis courts
• Add 1 fitness circuit station near existing hockey rinks (to be expanded in future)
• Site Amenities
• Add west picnic shelter with restrooms south of existing west parking lot
• Add gravel paths for food truck promenade and event space on east and west sides of track
• Renovate existing east picnic shelter building and restrooms
• Add hammock grove near east picnic shelter
• Playgrounds
• Retain the west playground
• Complete 4,500 SF expansion of east playground to add inclusive playground
• Add a small nature play area near proposed west shelter

Expanded Aquatics Facility
An expanded aquatics facility was one of the most requested
features throughout public engagement. This plan proposes to
expand the aquatics facility to 70,000-80,000 total square feet,
roughly double the current size. The bathhouse requires renovations
in order to better serve visitors. In addition to these investments, the
expanded aquatics facility is proposed to include improvements to
the splash pad, along with the addition of a shallow play pool, lazy
river, and deepwater play pool. New lounges, shaded seating areas,
and landscaping will provide an attractive and comfortable setting to
spend a fun day.
