Parks staff outline plans for pickleball courts, splash pad and parking-lot paving
Summary
At the Aug. 27 Environment & Public Works Committee meeting, staff outlined plans to begin park improvements with pickleball courts and a splash pad, said they are seeking funding (including a possible private donor) and noted a potential 2026 parking-lot paving phase.
At the Environment & Public Works Committee meeting on Aug. 27, a staff member told committee members the parks program would likely begin with new pickleball courts and a splash pad and that staff are looking for funding, including a possible private donor.
The staff member said phase three of the project would include paving a parking lot, possibly in 2026. The presentation did not specify exact funding amounts or which lot would be paved beyond the ‘‘phase 3’’ reference.
Committee members were also told the concession stand has not been open on a regular basis, a point raised as an operational concern for supporting events and park users. The staff member said the dog park remains under consideration for a site near the Fire Station and that finish work and touch-ups are still being made across park facilities.
Staff said they may present the parks plan to city council at the end of September for further consideration.
The committee did not take a formal vote on parks funding or approvals during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
