B. Park Tour Recap: Silverview and City Hall parks
1. Silverview Park: Need to extend the baseline fencing on the ball fields. Could put pickle ball where
horseshoe pits are located, but there are a lot of trees dropping leaves and sticks, but it has lots of
shade. Near pavilion would have less tree debris. Could put in bocce ball courts in lieu of 2
horseshoe pits. Direct Staff to provide layout and dimensions for a possible pickle ball court
and bocce ball court either replacing the horseshoe pits or to the west of the pavilion and to
get fence pricing for extending baseline fencing.
2. City Hall Park: Looked at possibly location for trail from MV Blvd to City Hall trail. Still need to
consider a Veterans’ Memorial and location. Will get two more pavilions near the splash pad.
Looked at possible location for obstacle course items. Possibly add a parking lot off of Bronson
Drive on the north side and/or remove berms and shift sidewalk and driving lanes on Edgewood
Drive to allow for angled parking. A flashing beacon crosswalk light will be installed to allow for
safe crossing from the MVCC parking lot.
C. Feasibility Report -Community Center Expansion – June 6 City Council Work Session:
Commissioners are invited to the Work Session at 6:30 PM to hear the results of the report.
