Connoquenessing council narrows Butler County park grant scope, prioritizes trail, playground and pickleball fence
Summary
The borough approved Resolution 2026-04 to revise the Butler County Park Renovation grant: the council excluded parking improvements, prioritized finishing the relocated trail, installing a waterless restroom near the ballfield, completing the playground, and finishing the pickleball fence with bollard installation.
On Feb. 3, 2026, the Connoquenessing Borough Council approved Resolution 2026-04 to revise the scope of a Butler County Park Renovation Development Grant, removing parking improvements and directing the grant funds to specific park amenities.
The council chose to prioritize finishing a relocated trail first, installing a waterless bathroom near the ballfield second, and completing the playground third. Council members recorded a motion to revise the grant scope; the motion passed during the meeting.
Council members also directed that finishing the pickleball fence and installing bollards be included as part of the revised scope rather than building parking. The minutes show the motion was moved and seconded and passed; the recorded makers were Kelly Barton and Ryan Curtin.
The change alters the project's work plan and will shape grant-funded procurement and contracting steps going forward. The council did not record detailed funding amounts in the minutes; next steps will be administrative coordination to implement the revised scope and to pursue DCNR and Community Development grant steps referenced in the discussion.
The council discussed related grant planning during the same agenda item, noting the order of priorities for DCNR and community-development funds: trail completion, restroom near the ballfield, and playground completion. The minutes do not specify timelines or dollar amounts for the revised scope.
