Hey, kids, give tennis a try this summer! QuickStart Tennis is an exciting new format for learning tennis! To make learning easier, we changed
a few things. The court size, the racket size, the balls, the scoring system and even the height of the net are all tailored to the child’s age and
size. This program is designed to help children find success from the very first swing. QuickStart tennis will also focus on the FUN of tennis
through instruction, lecture, exciting games, and playing time.

Each session will bring new challenges; sign up for multiple sessions for ongoing summer fun! Participants must provide their own tennis
racket. Contact the Burnsville Recreation Department if you are unable to obtain a tennis racket.

All lessons are conducted at Neill Park, 13501 Upton Ave., Burnsville, tennis courts. Fridays are designated as the make-up date for classes

Celebrate at the McColl Pond ELC 13550 Dakota Ave. • Savage, MN 55378
952-224-3420 • cityofsavage.com
The beautiful and unique McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center (ELC)
is the natural choice for your next event. Set among 10 acres of native prairies, butterfly
gardens and mature trees, the McColl Pond ELC is the perfect indoor/outdoor venue
for an anniversary or birthday party, graduation celebration, sports banquet or intimate
wedding. The Aspen Room seats approximately 100 people and offers picturesque
seasonal views from the two full walls of windows overlooking a natural area that
includes McColl Pond. The outdoor covered patio is nestled among the landscape
and gardens and provides seating for an additional 60-75 guests.

The McColl Pond story

The McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center (ELC) is a unique community
resource built in partnership with the Jeffers Foundation in 2009. The ELC is a LEED
Gold certified facility that serves as a model for sustainable design and includes
many environmentally-friendly features. The ELC has become a mainstay in the
environmental education programs for area schools. Several times a week during the
school year, classes come to the ELC to explore the pond and prairie, and sometimes
even the building itself. Designed with a naturally resourceful approach, parts of the
building are made with recycled wheat and wood. It limits runoff with rain gardens,
concrete that lets water flow back into the soil, and thousands of rooftop plants to
capture the rain. Today, the ELC is not only popular with school classes, but is also
growing in demand for weddings, graduations and other events. Reservations can be
made one year in advance.

Contact us

We would love to show you the McColl Pond ELC facility. To schedule a tour of the space
by appointment, please contact us at 952-224-3420 or at [email protected].

The City of Savage encourages active and healthy lifestyles.

Miles of public trails and sidewalks in our community provide opportunities to exercise while enjoying the outdoors.

The Savage Parks & Trail Guide helps you to discover the paths available in city parks. Plan routes that fit your schedule and fitness level.
While many of these routes are located in city parks, some provide options for extending your journey by connecting to outlying sidewalks.

Weather you are walking, running, biking or inline skating, we encourage you to explore the routes that are suggested - and feel free to
develop others that fit your needs.
