Kevin, the parks staff member leading the management report, said the Spencer Park playground is scheduled to be demolished on Aug. 4, 2025, with installation beginning Aug. 11, 2025. \"We have taken possession of both playgrounds that are gonna be going in at Spencer,\" a staff member added, and the department said the contractor holds a building permit and planned to set floor work in the second week of August.

Work at Iron Horse Park is further along: staff said rental lockers arrived and were fully installed Monday, and the department set an initial rental model at $2 per hour for use of the lockers. Construction of the splash pad has required extensive excavation and backfill; staff reported hauling hundreds of tons of material and that crews had completed forms and backfilling with #11 stone and installed plumbing and electrical. Concrete pours were pending weather.

Staff also described work on a new cold-storage barn and two cart barns: the city obtained a building permit for the storage barn at Spencer Park and crews began site work; finishing the floor is scheduled for the second week of August. The new building was described as having tall drive-through doors to ease event logistics, including storage for Christmas-in-the-Park decorations.

Parks staff reported ongoing maintenance work this spring and summer: engineered wood fiber (EWF) mulch refills at multiple playgrounds, storm damage tree removal, and a heavy use of part-time seasonal crews. Events and programming counts cited at the meeting included a June firefly walk with 86 attendees and this summer’s lesson totals to date — 27 swim lessons, 32 tennis lessons and 41 golf lessons — with more sessions to come.

Security and data-collection cameras are being installed under a vendor schedule; staff said cameras are active at Riverside and crews will continue installations on Thursdays and Fridays \"for the foreseeable future\" to gather people- and vehicle-count analytics for parks and events. Staff also said Christmas-in-the-Park sponsorships and displays are in development for the winter season.

Board members thanked staff and visiting residents who offered to partner or donate small items like disc-golf baskets for local parks; the board said it would discuss donations and return a decision to the donors.

No formal board action was taken on these project updates during the meeting; staff indicated scheduling and vendor coordination remain in progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks Board Meeting 7/9/2025","oneSentenceSummary","City parks staff reported progress and schedules for multiple capital and maintenance projects on July 9, 2025: Spencer Park playground demo and installation dates, splash pad construction progress, Iron Horse Park rental lockers now operating at $2 per hour, and a new storage barn permitted at Spencer Park.","taxTitle","Logansport City, Cass County, Indiana","taxId",63775,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6175819,"Logansport Parks Board approves changes to golf handbook, raises 18-hole greens fee",613,331000,944000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5352887-efa4285e9018fd291ad2ed41e6955f02&start=331&end=944","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5352887-efa4285e9018fd291ad2ed41e6955f02/thumbnail_331000.jpg","/articles/6175819/Indiana/Logansport-Parks-Board-approves-changes-to-golf-handbook-raises-18-hole-greens-fee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175819-f36acd5cc4dbbcf381639bd709c6cd33/orig.mp4?Expires=1775608917&Signature=JOJfpQJZed8oJpk-XafTzpLj7WWOdcS2C4BfvtPAp2KEn2sk75f9emzoZ2ntrAMY8zQDkHxbr9u8k4VCU-c-tRoLn9YbaXijzyV6eCjPZNl8tAMzDYQoZI46~S0sYwinHcwAJZ9qUB1rJ~XjEf78d3jc2ENRKrJHBSBEUcgujtxgRlVeFV6MKDx3a5IqzySpia5~2noN8VFWjniq9hSFRn5xZ0if7aNFdV7fk-BPJ~EXshtn-ATzYzU7QzsErPFHUi8c3BOctmsuCdlj17AztOJFsOG0QfN3FIUaDJ-ykaTVUnls9zjzoveTkHS0a8aRSU~lyhqcUC7iWleU0oF9QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport City Parks and Recreation Board voted July 9 to adopt Resolution 2025-09, amending the policies, rules and fees in the golf course handbook. The resolution raises the standard 18-hole greens fee with a golf cart from $37 to $40 and consolidates several fees and definitions in the handbook.

Board members said the fee changes are meant to reflect higher costs for labor, supplies and insurance while keeping the course’s rates competitive. Mr. Vieri, the presenter of the handbook changes, said, \"We did a lot of research, and we think we got a pretty good price there for that\" when describing proposed pricing for a new driving-range and simulator offering that will be rented by the hour.

The new handbook text also standardizes age definitions for student and junior passes, revises twilight-rate timing to a 4:00 p.m. start for twilight pricing, and removes the annual cart-registration fee by rolling it into the trail-pass. Staff and board members acknowledged there remain internal inconsistencies in the draft definitions that will be corrected administratively; one board member pointed out that the draft still listed overlapping student/junior age ranges and said staff would fix them.

The resolution, described in the meeting as amending the 2023 handbook resolution, includes language to allow dynamic pricing for the simulator and to set new driving-range fees next year. The board was told that the driving range is being developed and the city plans to invest in a full-size range, with pricing to vary by demand.

Supporters on the board said the increases keep Logansport’s fees below area private-course rates while generating additional operating revenue; one presenter reported that overall golf revenue was up 8% compared with the prior year. The board approved the resolution by voice vote; the clerk recorded the motion and announced the measure had passed.

The board did not record individual roll-call votes during the meeting. Staff said further administrative cleanups (age brackets and terminology) will be made to the handbook language before publication.

Looking ahead, staff flagged related capital work tied to the golf operation: expansion of the driving range and installation of a simulator were discussed as revenue drivers, and the board noted cart fleet replacement timing tied to an existing loan will inform future daily cart fees.","On July 9, 2025, the Logansport City Parks and Recreation Board adopted Resolution 2025-09, amending the golf course policies and fees; the board approved a $3 increase to the 18-hole greens fee with cart and consolidated several fee categories; the measure passed by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
