City staff shared conceptual designs for a Central District Park in the Blossom Rock development, centered on a lake intended to store reclaimed water to irrigate the new parkland. The park would sit at the corner of Warner and Blossom Rock Trail; Blossom Rock Trail is planned as a linear spine connecting district parks.

Liz explained the developer-led project includes public amenities such as a large play structure, a splash pad with play features, comfort stations (restrooms), eight pickleball courts, an "all-wheels" skate facility, a farmer's market area with vendor space, a food-truck corridor with electrical, and a fishing pier on a larger lake. She noted some features will be privately operated or privately paid-for, specifically a mini farm and a farm store that the developer would build and maintain in partnership with Steadfast Farms.

"This lake is a fishing lake," Liz said, describing it as a harvest-permitted lake where anglers may take fish with them. She told commissioners the park's style will match Painted Sky and that the project is being financed through the community facilities district (CFD) tied to the development; the developer bears upfront cost and residents in the CFD contribute to maintenance when homes are sold.

Staff said the concept is at an early stage: 30% design drawings have not yet been issued, soil and civil work remain to be completed, and specific feature locations may change as design advances. The design team has issued the concept for bid, and staff estimated a possible groundbreaking in the MarchMay timeframe next year, followed by roughly a year of construction and an opening perhaps about two years away, depending on schedule and permitting.

Discussion/direction: commissioners asked for clarification that the farm and farm store would be privately owned but publicly accessible; staff confirmed the store and farm are private property open to the public in function but not city-owned. No formal action was taken.
