County hears detailed park master‑plan and new lake entrance design, walking loop set at one mile
Summary
Parks staff presented a revised park master plan that includes two entrance lanes at the lake to reduce wait times, signage and lane indicators, a one‑mile walking loop, irrigation and pump‑house plans and sponsorship ideas; commissioners expressed general support and asked for final irrigation plans next week.
Parks staff presented updates on the county park master plan and lake entrance redesign, saying the goal is to shorten entry queues and provide improved recreational facilities.
Staff described a two‑lane entrance configuration: one lane for full transactions and a second express lane for cash and season passes, with delineators and lane signage to keep traffic flowing. The presenter also described a one‑mile walking loop, expanded parking oriented toward the fields, and a pump‑house site and irrigation plan that is nearing final design. “The walking path is gonna be exactly 1 mile,” the presenter said when reviewing the layout and circulation. He added that irrigation planning would produce a final cost estimate and a completed plan next week.
Commissioners asked about striping, pavement temperature constraints for permanent paint lines and the timing of irrigation bids. Staff said credit‑card and point‑of‑sale systems from the existing booths would transfer to the new booths with minimal added cost. The commission encouraged staff to finalize irrigation bidding documents for review at the next meeting.
