Finalize 2018 Parks & Trails Capital Projects Recommendation <br /> <br />The Park Board is in the process of formulating recommendations that will be forwarded <br />to the City Council. Feedback from the community on this subject is being solicited and <br />received. <br /> <br />Pat Huelman (Chair) will finalize recommendations and give to Rick DeGardner. <br /> <br />Park Board Comments: <br />- Chair proposed using the money for “wow” factors. He would like to put the money <br />into getting items done in parks that would really benefit the community and get as <br />much done as they can. Proposes replacing playground equipment at Sunrise Park and <br />putting in a hard surface. <br />- Gooder proposed to pave City Hall Park parking lot. <br />- Levi proposed creating more of a destination type park for Birch and Sunrise. <br />Proposed that expanding those parks to be a bigger may elevate some pressure of the <br />smaller parks. Mentioned putting in a zip line. <br />- Gooder spoke to board regarding Arena Acres. Stated residents in that area would like <br />something in that space where the tennis courts are. Board members discuss putting in <br />one tennis court in that space instead of two. <br />- DeGardner discusses with Board the funds needed for Birch Park. He stated that the <br />park equipment itself need to be relocated due to the ground elevation and the <br />problems that causes. It is proposed to move the structure toward the open shelter and <br />create a three tiered structure. Looking to combine the two park areas/play structures <br />into one. <br />- Chair does mention to the group that he does want Birch playground to be <br />comparable to North Point. <br />- DeGardner referred to the handout given to Park Board Members at a previous <br />meeting that lists the top park equipment to be replaced. <br />- City Hall Park was discussed as a high volume area for kids during softball games. <br />Levi mentioned we should consider the park. Also noted that trees in that area should <br />not be cut down to make the City Hall Park structure bigger as those are the only trees <br />in the area that provide shade. <br />- Priority for parks that fill larger community needs (Birch, Sunrise and Lino Parks <br />noted) <br /> <br />The Board discussed prioritizing projects with consideration of funding approved for <br />2018.
