Kearney parks staff report splash-park opening, new dechlorination system and playground repairs
Summary
Parks staff told the board the splash park will open Friday at 10 a.m. after testing and installation of a new dechlorination system. Staff also described repairs and an extra topcoat on a playground surface in a roughly $95,000 project funded by use tax; payment is pending contractor invoice.
Parks staff reported multiple capital updates at the May 20 meeting, including seasonal hires, equipment installations and playground repairs. Staff said the splash park testing went well and that “It opens this Friday at 10AM,” and that a dechlorination system has been installed to help ensure compliance with DNR before treated water reaches the tributary.
Staff also reviewed a playground surfacing issue at Lions Park where an initial pour left seams; after complaints the contractor applied an extra topcoat. The board noted the project was funded by use tax and described it as “about a $95,000 project.” Staff said they have not yet paid the contractor because an invoice had not been provided.
