Parks Advisory Committee outlines community-backed ideas for Cambria Court and dog park; council discusses planning funds
Summary
The Parks Advisory Committee presented community feedback and short-term recommendations for Cambria Court and a proposed dog park; the committee will host a Coffee At Cambria event April 11, 2026. Council discussed the old tennis court's condition and available planning funds of about $33,000.
Navid Nekoui, chair of the Garrett Park Parks Advisory Committee, presented the committee's summary of community input on Cambria Court and a potential dog park and shared short-term recommendations at the March 9 meeting. Nekoui said the committee plans a Coffee At Cambria event on April 11, 2026, with an earlier session for residents living near the site.
Councilmembers thanked the committee for its inclusive engagement. Council members and staff discussed the deteriorated tennis court at the site and noted that fully removing the existing impervious surface now could trigger permitting requirements if future use required new impervious surface; that consideration affected whether to remove or repair the court. Town Manager Barb Matthews said there is approximately $33,000 in Account 32.6 (Capital Planning, Other) that was allocated in the capital budget years earlier and could be used for planning work related to Cambria Park design.
The committee plans continued outreach and will bring refined design recommendations and budget considerations back to the council for further review.
