Council hears need to resurface 20-year-old spray park; staff cites about $70,000 estimate
Summary
Staff reported the spray park is roughly 20–21 years old, with piping in generally good condition but surface coating and some features needing repair; a full resurfacing estimate of about $70,000 was discussed as one option.
Staff told council that the city's spray park is aging — about 20–21 years old — and while piping appears sound, the top surface and some play features need repair. "About 70,000 just to do that," the presenter said while describing a full resurfacing option; staff also noted past partial resurfacing costs were lower.
Council discussed whether the work belongs under property maintenance or parks/rec and staff said resurfacing is a maintenance item budgeted under property maintenance but could be reallocated if council prefers. Staff emphasized the choice between incremental repairs and a full resurfacing that may require repeated maintenance every five years if a cheaper coating is used.
