STAFF REPORT TO:Parks and Recreation Commission FROM:Bryce Shearen, Parks and Recreation/Community Services Manager DATE:May 31, 2019 RE:Spooner Park Playground Update The playground and trail upgrades at Spooner Park are underway. City staff removed the old playground equipment and the volleyball net posts. Standard Contracting then mobilized to the site and removed trees and transplanted three trees. One was moved to just outside the construction limits near the playground and the other two were replanted in the south peninsula of the Centerville Road parking lot at Pioneer Park. Once the trees were removed grading operations began. The old trail was removed and the small infiltration basin was excavated on the southeast side of the new playground, drain tile was laid in a sand layer, and an outlet pipe was laid to the south. The playground container was graded and the concrete ring surrounding the container as well as a new section of concrete near the upper shelter were scheduled to be poured the week of June 3. Once the concrete has been poured, the contractor will work its way north with grading. Grading around the playground container will be completed and the temporary access road will be removed. Fill will be brought in to raise the new trail grade to meet ADA standards. Once the trail section is graded, the trail will be paved and the project will be ready for the community build on June 22 and 23. While the weather has not cooperated very much, the contractor has maintained progress and remains on the tight schedule to complete the project by June 15.
