Parish OKs engineering contract for Aima Park renovations to add playground, restrooms and amenities
Summary
The council approved a professional services agreement with Quality Engineering & Surveying for Aima Park renovations, including new fencing, lighting, playground, restrooms and parking improvements, not to exceed $85,150.
The St. Charles Parish Council on May 5 authorized a professional services agreement with Quality Engineering & Surveying for engineering services related to renovations at Aima Park (file number 2025-0126) in an amount not to exceed $85,150.
Why it matters: Council members said Aima Park had seen limited capital investment over the last two decades and that renovations would address long-standing community requests for improved recreational amenities in that area.
Details: Project elements described by staff included new fencing, upgraded lighting, a new playground, potential basketball court (if funding allows), a permanent restroom, defined parking, a new batting cage, and upgrades to the existing pavilion. The project is subject to land and conservation grant requirements for some features, staff said.
Outcome: The ordinance passed unanimously. Council members thanked staff for moving the project forward and noted constituent support.
Where this goes next: Staff will proceed with engineering services and include construction funding and grant paperwork in subsequent budget or grant applications.
