DRAFT April 01 , 2019 Andrea Schmidt mentioned that in the past there was a City park that was installed and we asked for volunteers . States she understands that for this project it ' s more construction work but asked if there would be opportunity for some kind of volunteering or scheduling a grand opening for Arena Acres Park once project was completed to celebrate the project . DeGardner stated that we could post photos and post an announcement on the Recreation Facebook page and City website . Stated once we get some dates we could give some thoughts to a mini grand opening . Gooder stated he agrees that at least it would be a good photo opportunity to show residents where some of the Parks & Trails money has been spent on. Nordland asked DeGardner if there would be benches . States he does not see it on the plan . DeGardner stated that there are looking into installing benches inside or outside the tennis court but that hasn ' t been decided yet on where the best place would be . Haworth stated that there is a bench in the playground area and Gooder stated that he thought there was some type of gazebo type area as well with seating .
