Council planning list prioritizes Anderson Park completion, a Horton–downtown trail and other recreation upgrades
Summary
The Jan. 16 planning session included a cluster of parks and recreation proposals: finish Anderson Park with playground and turf, build a walking trail from Horton to downtown, and add splash-pad and shade-tree projects on Hall Street.
During the Jan. 16 planning workshop, councilmembers reviewed a series of parks and recreation priorities that the planning packet labeled as "SHOULD DO" and "COULD DO" items. The packet specifically lists completing Anderson Park with playground equipment, rubberized turf and trees; creating a walking trail from Horton to downtown; Hall Street shade trees and a splash pad; and additional park amenities and organized events.
The proposals include small capital asks and programmatic items such as partnering with the library for new events, budgeting for dilapidated-structure removal related to park projects, and considering pickleball courts at former tennis courts. The minutes record these ideas as council priorities to consider in the capital and recreation budget, but they do not show council approval of funding at this meeting.
