Council told Walton Street Park and Shiloh/Tempe Avery community center renovations are in design phase
Summary
Assistant City Manager Ben Woody said two 2024 bond-funded projects are in design: Walton Street Park (~$2M) to reimagine the historic pool and Shiloh and Tempe Avery community center renovations totaling over $8M collectively; staff framed both as uses of bond proceeds.
Assistant City Manager Ben Woody told council that two 2024 bond-funded projects are advancing in design. "Our Walton Street Park project is about just over $2,000,000 project, and it reenvisioned the use of the historic Walton Street pool area and the pool house," Woody said, adding that the Shiloh and Tempe Avery Community Center projects "will likely total over $8,000,000 collectively, and they both result in substantial renovations to those facilities."
Staff framed the projects as examples of putting bond dollars to work, and Woody said the projects are at different stages of design with community benefits tied to recreation and neighborhood services. Councilmembers did not take formal action during the briefing but will receive further project information as the items move toward contract and implementation.
