Uintah staff propose RAMP grant park overhaul; application due Jan. 16
Summary
Staff presented a RAMP grant bid proposing a 0.25-mile walking path, a city-sized playground, relocated pickleball and basketball courts, a new pavilion, dugouts and ADA ramp fixes; staff suggested volunteer demolition and other cost-saving measures.
City staff outlined a RAMP grant proposal at the Dec. 1 staff meeting that would rework park amenities and circulation. The proposal listed a roughly 0.25-mile walking path, a city-sized playground, relocation of the pickleball courts, a horseshoe station, relocation of the basketball court, a new pavilion, preformed shade dugouts, removal of infield grass, and adjustments to sprinklers. Staff flagged a trip hazard near the scout house and proposed adding a handrail; they also said an ADA ramp would need to be remade because of steepness.
Staff noted the RAMP grant application deadline is January 16. To reduce costs, staff suggested volunteer demolition, use of city and citizen equipment for fence removal, recovering scrap value, and city crew tree removal. No detailed cost estimate, funding match amount, or grant budget breakdown was provided in the staff meeting minutes; those details will appear in the formal grant application and council agenda if the project advances.
