Council hears Phase 1 plan for 107 neighborhood parks totaling about $20.5 million
Summary
City staff presented Phase 1 of neighborhood and community parks under MAPS, describing three bid packages totaling about $20.5 million (packages 1A, 1B and Washington Park 1C) and a phased design and bidding schedule into 2026–27.
City staff and consultants presented Phase 1 of a neighborhood parks program funded through MAPS. Darren Scott said Phase 1 carries a budget of about $20.5 million split into three bid packages: 1A (~$6.5M), 1B (~$8.8M, larger due to bond funds) and 1C (Washington Park, ~$5.1M). He said the package selections were driven by master‑plan priority scores, geographic grouping to improve bidding efficiency and bond‑fund timing.
Scott described components such as playgrounds, splash pads, upgraded sports courts and a plaza entry that will better connect adjacent community assets. Phase‑1 final plans are expected mid‑next year and bidding will occur thereafter, with construction extending into 2027.
