Commission approves $85,000 grant and county participation for outdoor fitness court at Las Matanvias Park
Summary
Valencia County accepted an $85,000 grant for an outdoor fitness court at Las Matanvias Park and approved county funding/fundraising and manager delegation pending sole‑source approval; a partner amount of $155,000 was mentioned to complete the project.
Valencia County commissioners voted March 18 to accept a grant of $85,000 awarded to Public Works to install an outdoor fitness court as part of the National Fitness Campaign and approved a resolution authorizing county allocation and manager authority to proceed pending sole‑source approval.
A staff presenter said the $85,000 grant, combined with partner support identified in the meeting packet (noted during the presentation as $155,000 from a partner in the staff remarks), will complete the installation budgeted for Las Matanvias Park. The presenter said the project is already budgeted and that participation in the campaign provides recognition and future opportunities for parks funding.
Commissioners asked for clarification about what a fitness court includes; staff described it as a slab area for fitness activities with optional equipment. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
What’s next: Staff will finalize sole‑source procurement details and proceed with installation planning at Las Matanvias Park.
