MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />JULY 19, 2012 <br />5. Centerville Road /County Road D Phase 1 (Spooner Park to <br />Pioneer Park) — trail improvements - $75,000 <br />Sanders felt that this should be a high priority given the need to connect <br />the two parks. <br />6. Country Drive and South Owasso Loop to Waterworks Trail — <br />trail improvements - $200,000 <br />Sanders noted previous discussion was to construct a trail along the entire <br />length of Country Drive. This is a shorter route. <br />7. Pioneer Park — play area and site improvements - $50,000 <br />Sanders reported that the play area at Pioneer Park is in pretty good shape, <br />but is outdated in terms of equipment. <br />Sanders presented a sketch of proposed improvements to Pioneer Park <br />which would incorporate the property at the southwest corner of the park. <br />These include the following: west side of the park: addition of 116 <br />parking spaces, adding large shelter and walkways, adding tennis and <br />basketball courts; east side of the park: paving temporary parking area, <br />adding small shelter and walkway, and adding small play area. <br />The Director indicated that the property at the southwest corner of the park <br />is not currently for sale, but noted that the Council has asked if there <br />would be any interest in adding that corner onto Pioneer Park. With <br />regard to the temporary parking area at the southeast corner of the park, <br />the Director noted that the original plan was for an additional ballfield in <br />that area. However, given the high and consistent usage of this temporary <br />parking, the Director felt it was time to pave and improve that area. <br />Sanders indicated that at the time the lower shelter in Spooner Park is <br />replaced with a larger shelter, this small shelter could be moved to the <br />northeast corner of Pioneer Park. He noted that the existing small shelter <br />in Pioneer was moved there when the larger shelter was constructed in <br />Spooner. <br />Sullivan stated that a small play area on the east side of Pioneer Park <br />would be nice, noting that there is a lot of usage on that side of the park. <br />8. Spooner Park — lower picnic shelter replacement and upgrade <br />of lighting and electrical - $200,000 <br />9. Spooner Park — play area improvements - $50,000 <br />10. Thunder Bay Park — interpretive signage - $5,000 <br />3 <br />
