Union Pacific Trail ribbon cutting complete; Union Pacific Park amenities nearly open, community garden delayed for ADA access
Summary
Staff reported the Union Pacific Trail ribbon cutting and said Union Pacific Park amenities — including new turf, pickleball courts and solar lighting — are in place and well used; the community garden’s opening is delayed six to eight weeks while staff design an ADA path and fence.
Staff told the commission that the Union Pacific Trail ribbon cutting has taken place and community use is rising.
Edgar described the trail and park improvements: the trail is approximately 0.5 miles and staff counted about 176 trees planted, with new solar lighting and renewed surfaces. He said Union Pacific Park’s turf and pickleball courts are complete and the playground had been finished earlier; the final phase is a community garden that staff must delay while the building department requires an ADA path of travel and a fence design, which staff estimated will take about six to eight weeks.
Staff said they will notify commissioners and the community once an official park opening date is scheduled and will circulate invitations when the garden’s accessibility work is complete.
What happens next: Staff will continue final site work and coordinate the garden access design with the building department; an opening date will be distributed when confirmed.
