Parks staff say sports-field plan is advancing; initial design and cost estimate discussed
Summary
Staff reported a 60% design for a sports-field/turf project and said the sports-field portion alone is currently estimated at about $11 million; staff will return with further design updates and funding options.
Parks staff told commissioners they met with landscape architects and consultants at a recent conference and are progressing a 60% design for a sports-field project tied to larger park improvements. Staff warned the estimated cost for the sports fields alone is significant: "It's 11,000,000, probably, plus dollar project right now," a staff speaker said, clarifying that figure applies to the fields component in current renderings.
Staff said they will circulate updated design materials when available and welcomed commissioner feedback before the next design update. They also flagged the project as a likely subject for future capital improvement budget discussions and grant-seeking; commissioners asked staff to present refined cost breakdowns and potential funding sources when more detailed estimates are available.
