Summary
Park & Rec presented Phase A plans for Craigville Park on Feb. 12: three athletic fields, expanded parking and an ADA splash pad funded largely by a grant from Senator Scoopis’ office; JRC approved the initial phase and the town board asked for continued updates.
Park & Recreation member Melissa presented Phase A of the Craigville Park upgrades to the Town Board on Feb. 12, describing three new athletic fields, additional parking (including a new entrance from Mulchester Road), an ADA‑accessible splash pad with capacity for about 40–50 children, and potential pavilions or later‑phase bathrooms.
Melissa said the work is funded in part by a grant secured through Senator Scoopis’ office; she told the board the splash pad could be built without drawing on parkland fee balances. The Joint Recreation Committee (JRC) approved the initial plans at its recent meeting and recommended advancing to final design. Board members asked follow‑up questions about wetlands delineation, parking layout, ADA features and project phasing.
Board and Park & Rec members said the upgrades should ease traffic backups near Craigville and provide a more permanent home for youth athletic programs. The board directed staff to continue moving the project forward and to return with updates at future meetings.
