Parks planning, APIS property and a proposed disc‑golf course discussed
Summary
Members discussed the city's planned purchase of APIS property for a community park and coordination with Parks & Recreation. The board also discussed a proposed disc‑golf course at Willingham Knowles, with an estimated installation cost of $11,000–$12,000 and questions about whether it would be passive recreation.
Board members said the city hopes to settle on the APIS property near the APIS Clock Building on Feb. 19 and expected community charrettes and Parks & Recreation planning to follow; John noted that planning will likely include tree‑board participation. Elizabeth said the tree board will be a standing agenda item on parks meetings to ensure ongoing coordination.
John described a proposal to install a disc‑golf course at Willingham Knowles and estimated construction costs: "It would be about we estimated probably between 11 and $12,000 to install the course." Elizabeth said the parks master plan and classification of disc golf as passive recreation (provided no permanent structures are required) will guide whether to move forward, and recommended discussing the idea in upcoming parks master‑planning workshops.
