Parks proposes $50K in tech and educational enhancements for Recreate building
Summary
Parks staff proposed roughly $50,000 to add interactive educational features to the Recreate building — including a digital sand table and an outdoor educational garden — aimed at multigenerational programming and STEAM-style exhibits.
Mike DeVito proposed approximately $50,000 in additional enhancements for the Recreate building to support technology-driven educational exhibits and interactive learning. He described an example exhibit — a digital sand table that can project landscapes and model the effects of changes such as removing a dam — and said the enhancements would support multigenerational programming and education.
DeVito said other planned improvements include an upgraded outdoor atrium/educational garden with interpretive signage and volunteer support. He framed the request as an opportunity to raise the Recreate project’s value to the community and stated staff would pursue partnerships and volunteers to augment the proposed enhancements.
