• Carol gave a brief history of the development of the park including an <br />approximate date of the installation/ construction of the various facilities and <br />improvements. Some discussion took place regarding possible replacement / <br />maintenance schedules for various pieces of equipment /facilities. Major <br />areas identified for future improvement /replacement follow: <br />' Improvement to east entry of park. Possible widening of the fence gate, <br />fencing improvements and landscaping to provide for more of a <br />welcoming to the park. <br />' Old picnic shelter in play area might be relocated at replacement time. <br />' Staff is looking into life expectancy of hardcourt basketball area. Court <br />was probably constructed in the 50's and has been resurfaced a number <br />of times. Could possible be relocated at replacement time. <br />' Hockey rink lights are old but continue to function OK. Will be replace <br />when a number of lamps malfunction. <br />' Park building is to be restained this fall. <br />' Exercise stations. Will be replaced in '98. Stations are well use but in <br />poor condition. Parks /Public Works staff has done lots of repairs. <br />Stations would almost require rebuilding at this point. <br />' A couple of locations were identified as possibly suitable for the <br />construction of a sand pit volleyball court. <br />• The prairie is beginning to mature and has become a real amenity to the <br />park. It was suggested that we do more to increase awareness of the <br />prairie area and promote a visit. <br />Meeting was adjourned at 8:45. <br />• <br />
