Summary

Councilors used the work session to press parks staff on several community-requested amenities: a tabled pump track, a recurring request for a dog park, bench memorial requests (bench donations closed) and ideas for EOTC to fund regional trail projects.

During council discussion, multiple members praised parks staff and raised constituent requests that could shape capital priorities. A council member asked about the pump track proposal that was removed from the 2025 budget; staff said the project was "not funded" and remains tabled pending alternative locations and further community conversation.

Council members also raised repeated constituent interest for a dog park in the Hunter Creek/Centennial area. The mayor and others noted bench memorial donations are closed and asked staff to follow up with constituents who submitted recent requests. Several councilors suggested the EOTC might fund cross-jurisdictional projects such as the Truscott Trail or Roaring Fork Safe Passages and asked for clarity on EOTC ballot language and priorities.
