Summary
Mayor Tim Lowry and Parks & Recreation Director Jimmy Karinchak detailed multiple capital upgrades — new irrigation, courts, pool repairs, accessibility work and a proposed turf field at Coke Park — plus community programs like a stop-and-shop and an esports lab at the Eagan Center.
Mayor Tim Lowry spoke with Jimmy Karinchak, director of parks and recreation for the City of Florissant, about a slate of park improvements and new programs the department expects this year.
Karinchak said crews are converting two fields at Coke Park into “premier soccer fields” with irrigation so the city can host regional events and reduce weather-related wear. “We’re turning 2 fields in there to, kind of premier soccer fields that will have irrigation,” he said. The department is also installing new basketball courts at Moampi Park and resurfacing Bangor Park’s pickleball courts, and plans to add tennis and pickleball courts at Dunneget Park.
