In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the proposed master plan for a new neighborhood park, emphasizing its design and community feedback. The park will feature a significant amount of trails, with areas designated for irrigation, particularly around the central lawn and major amenities. The existing pond on the west side will remain natural, while the park's landscaping will include both existing mature trees and new plantings.

The design includes various amenities such as a playground, pavilion, and restroom facilities, all situated on the right side of the park layout. A creek runs through the park, necessitating two low water crossings, with plans for a bridge on the eastern side. The design team is also exploring ways to provide distance markers for trail users.

Community input has influenced some changes to the plan, including adjustments to parking and lighting. However, there was notable opposition to the inclusion of a dog park, leading the design team to prioritize the park's initial use and avoid overcrowding. The possibility of adding a dog park in the future remains open, contingent on community interest and park usage.

Concerns were raised about the timing of community engagement, with some attendees expressing that presenting nearly finalized plans limited creative input from residents. The city will maintain the park, which is dedicated to public use, ensuring it serves the neighborhood effectively. The next steps involve moving towards construction once community approval is secured.
