The farm is located in the southeast corner of Eagan, alongside Holz Lake. Currently, the eight acres owned by the city are used for educational, historical, and entertainment activities. In 1996, efforts began to preserve and protect the house, barn and outbuildings that are examples of the 1940’s era. A master plan for the site was completed in 2003. As of June 2007, the farmstead has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Join Friends of the Farm Friends of the Farm, a non-profit land stew- ardship organization staffed by volunteers, is dedicated to cultivating an appreciation of farm life. This group was formed to help preserve and restore Holz Farm. Friends of the Farm plans and conducts a wide variety of activities and events that provide educational, entertaining, histori- cal and cultural perspectives appealing to a wide range of interests and ages. Help is needed in the areas of education, teaching, farming knowledge, tour guides, painting, grounds maintenance, clean-up days, inter- pretation of 1930’s and 1940’s farm imple- ments and planning of special events. If you are looking for a rewarding experi- ence with other committed volunteers who believe in preserving our heritage, educat- ing students of all ages, connecting the past with the present, building community pride and providing a historical resource for the ever-changing world around us, we would like to hear from you.

Preschool Locations Welcome to Preschool The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation Department welcomes you and your preschooler to a wide selection of quality preschool programs. Eagan Preschool Program’s focus is on the social development of children ages one through five years old. Participants will benefit by developing their social skills through play, art projects, stories, songs, games and outside play. Participants also have the opportunity to develop their independence, self-help, shar- ing skills and learn to follow directions. Teachers are experienced instructors committed to offering your preschooler a positive experience and providing support for your child’s first school years. The program has been serving the community since 1978 and continues to provide quality programs to the community and over 30 years of experience opportuni- ties for all participants. Each year new classes and sessions begin in January, March, June and September. Eagan Parks & Recreation uses the following guide lines to define who is a preschooler for participation in our programs: •Children who are the appropriate age on or before the first day of class. •Children who are completely toilet trained and independent in the bathroom. Children are required to wear underwear; pull-up type diapers are not allowed. Toilet training is not required for children registered in parent/child classes. •Bright Beginnings and Let’s Play! Music Together classes are for children who are the age stated in the class and accompanied by an adult. Additional siblings are welcome, when age appropriate and additional fees paid as listed in the program. •Just for 5’s (and some 4’s, too!) class is for children who are the appropriate age to enter kindergarten in the fall of 2014. Please note: Due to the popularity of our preschool program, classes tend to fill up quickly. Wait lists will be maintained in a manner that accommodates participants new to the program. Participants enrolled in more than one preschool class per session may experience pro- gramming duplication between classes.

Photo/Video Release City Use of Images It is recommended that a release be obtained when photographing or videotap- ing a minor (under 18). Parent or guard- ian signatures are required; signatures of minors are not sufficient. When imAges are published, the City will take cautionary steps to provide minimum identifying infor- mation and will not use a specific street or mailing address, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. While signed release forms are generally not needed when photographing in public places, such as parks, this extra step is being taken because the imAges taken are intended for use in City publica- tions and communications. Data Privacy Act In accordance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, the Parks & Recreation Department hereby informs you that the personal information we are requesting of you and/or your child or guardian on our registration form is now considered private. Private data is avail- able to you and to City staff who need to have this information to perform their duties, but not to the public. While you may choose to withhold this data, the conse- quences could be that the City’s staff may not be able to complete your registration and/or the participant may not receive updated program information, such as schedule changes. Eagan Parks & Recreation periodically takes pictures of participants in our classes, dur- ing special events and in the parks. Please be aware that these photos may be used in the City’s brochures, pamphlets, or cable presentations. If you or your family mem- bers do not want to be photographed or published you must give us written notice. Minnesota Concussion Law A new law regarding concussions went into effect on Sept. 1, 2011. This new law sets into place policies and new standards for educat- ing youth athletes of head concussions. It is aimed at preventing and identifying concus- sions in youths participating in sports. The law applies to city sponsored youth athlet- ics, youth athletic association programs and regular school sports programs. A youth is considered through age 18. Eagan Parks & Recreation is complying with this new law. For questions, support, or to make a request please visit our Citizen Support Center at www.cityofeagan.com/ citizensupportcenter.

In addition, the safety and mainte- nance of each park’s infrastructure and amenities remains a high prior- ity. Under the guidance of the City Council, Advisory Parks Commission and dedicated staff, Eagan’s park system has become a benchmark for excellence for other communities.

The commission reviews all resi- dential development proposals for park dedication, trail dedication, forestry and water quality/wetlands requirements, reviews recreational programs and activities and determines long-range planning objectives for park acquisi- tion and development. The Commission meets bi-monthly the Monday prior to the second City Council meeting, at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers. If you have an item that should appear before the Commission, you may contact Eagan Parks & Recreation at (651) 675-5500 to coordinate.

This project is the culmi- nation of a two-year community survey process. Twelve artists submitted their qualifications to be considered for the public art project with four finalists selected. A selection committee made up of leaders from the Eagan Art House, Eagan Art Festival and Eagan Parks & Recreation interviewed each artist. In addition, the community provided feedback on each proposed sculpture. Local sculptor Melvin Smith’s “Metamorphosis” was chosen. At 21 feet tall and with bright orange color, the piece offers a significant visual impact to the Eagan Art House Grounds in Patrick Eagan Park. The sculpture will be officially revealed at this year’s 8th Annual Harvest of Art on Sunday, September 8 from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. at the Eagan Art House, 3981 Lexington Avenue South. Visitors can enjoy a community art exhibit, artist demonstrations, outdoor raku firing, live music and other treats, including 15% off class registration fee when you register at the event.
