Kearney parks preview capital purchases including $52,000 web climber
Summary
The park board said several capital items were included in the draft budget: a $52,000 web climber for Jesse James Park, $48,000 in skate‑park corner pieces/ramps, a $25,000 mower, $15,000 in soccer goals and a $9,000 movies‑in‑the‑park kit.
Parks staff told the board their capital and use‑tax requests made it into the draft 2025 budget and highlighted several items that would be purchased if the budget is approved. "That item itself is $52,000," a board member said about the web climber planned for Jesse James Park, noting the current structure dates back to roughly 2007–2008.
Other listed purchases included two skate‑park corner pieces and ramps with installation priced at $48,000; a new John Deere 997 mower at $25,000; a set of soccer goals for $15,000; and a movies‑in‑the‑park kit (screen, projector, sound) budgeted at $9,000 to support a "Flicks and Food Trucks" program. Staff said the budget will be presented in depth on Feb. 3 and urged members to review the live presentation for more detail.
