North Park project moves forward; tree removals complete, council-approved concrete addition scheduled
Summary
Board members reviewed grants supporting the North Park project, said tree removals are complete and reported the City Council approved a concrete addition to be installed in April/May; staff engaged a disc-golf group for feedback and will seek local sponsorships.
The Carlisle City Parks & Recreation Board received a North Park project update on April 15 that included grant funding, site work and event planning.
Meeting notes list a $1,000 Greater Carlisle Community Grant and a $5,000 Warren County Philanthropic Grant supporting the project; the minutes state the project can proceed irrespective of future grant outcomes. Board notes indicate tree removals at the park are complete and that the City Council approved a planned concrete addition, scheduled for April or May.
Staff reported engagement with the Des Moines Metro Disc Golf Club to gather feedback for the course layout. The board asked members to reach out to local businesses about sponsorship opportunities; Parks & Rec Superintendent Mason McMillen will supply a letter and a project rendering to assist outreach. The board also discussed a ceremonial 'first serve' and left ribbon-cutting dates to be determined. The project was publicly announced on city social media on April 15.
Next steps: staff to finalize outreach materials and sponsorship asks and to return with implementation details and event dates.
