Council reviews park master-plan update; members and residents raise surfacing and amenity questions
Summary
Council members reviewed a revised park plan showing AstroTurf near the basketball court and discussed replacement of wood chips, shade structures, sprinkler connections and court counts; soccer club participation and community outreach were also covered.
Bryce Canyon City council members reviewed an updated park master-plan draft and discussed materials, amenities and next steps for community outreach. Council members and residents confirmed they had received a revised PDF and talked through proposed elements including AstroTurf around the basketball court, replacement surfacing for play areas, and additional picnic and shade amenities.
Speaker 4 said the updated plan 'has everything moved the way we wanted it' and noted that the proposal shows AstroTurf and a high fence around part of the court area. Several participants asked whether the play-surface replacement would use rubberized surfacing (recycled tires) or AstroTurf and whether proposals included shade posts and sprinkler connections. Speaker 1 urged staff to check applicable code requirements and to ask the design team to clarify materials and installation details.
Speakers discussed current and potential court capacity: the meeting record notes two existing courts and mentions that the soccer club has 17 children enrolled and is growing. Participants suggested the park could attract users from across the county and discussed staging small community events, with plans to print large signs and use movable bulletin boards to share designs and host a public get-together.
Council members agreed to follow up with the design team about surfacing materials, shade structures, and irrigation connections; they also agreed to print and distribute the plan materials and to hold outreach events to solicit community feedback. The meeting did not record final design approvals or formal votes on park budget or construction in the provided transcript.
