Park Tour Recap: Silverview and City Hall parks <br />1. Silverview Park: Need to extend the baseline fencing on the ball fields. Could put pickle ball where <br />horseshoe pits are located, but there are a lot of trees dropping leaves and sticks, but it has lots of <br />shade. Near pavilion would have less tree debris. Could put in bocce ball courts in lieu of 2 <br />horseshoe pits. Direct Staff to provide layout and dimensions for a possible pickle ball court <br />and bocce ball court either replacing the horseshoe pits or to the west of the pavilion and to <br />get fence pricing for extending baseline fencing. <br />2. City Hall Park: Looked at possibly location for trail from MV Blvd to City Hall trail. Still need to <br />consider a Veterans’ Memorial and location. Will get two more pavilions near the splash pad. <br />Looked at possible location for obstacle course items. Possibly add a parking lot off of Bronson <br />Drive on the north side and/or remove berms and shift sidewalk and driving lanes on Edgewood <br />Drive to allow for angled parking. A flashing beacon crosswalk light will be installed to allow for <br />safe crossing from the MVCC parking lot. <br />C.
