The park is located in the southwestern section 34 of the City and, because of the storm water management issues, this 35 has been a difficult park to maintain. Repairs are needed on the 36 park building and, if the parking lot were to be paved, it could be 37 used for rollerblading, basketball, and other hard court play 38 activities. 39 40 The grant proposal would include storm water management details. 41 The City Consulting Engineer suggested that the ditches could be 42 culverted and filled in. This would create more parkland area and 43 take away any safety concern because of the open ditch. To solve 44 the storm water drainage problem, a small holding pond would be 45 built which would drain into the abutting wetland area. 46 47 The grant would provide 50 percent funding for the project. The 48 City's portion could come from Park Improvement funds and Storm 49 Water Management funds. The grant is due May 1, 1995 and awards 50 will be announced in August, 1995.
