Lions Park It has been many years in the making, but Lions Park is being redeveloped this spring. A master plan for the park was approved in 2015 after three years of plan- ning, four stakeholder meetings, and six community workshops. Hundreds of residents and stake- holders participated and pro- vided input during this process. Since then, the Parks Commis- sion and City Council revital- ized the project and approved a Feasibility Study done on the Park in June 2020. The Feasibility PARALLEL PARKING (APSTALLS) Study guided the Parks Commis- sion and City Council to make minor changes to the master plan, which will ensure that the MONUMENT WALL WITH OPTIONAL SIGN/ SEATING AREA park aligns with the new resi- `PARKING (APPROX. 10 dential development on the west STALLB) PROPOSED ROAD side of the park. The overall park ALIGNMENT budget is $7 million, which includes PLAYGROUND AREA (SEE ENLARGEMENT) the inclusive playground, pavilion, MONUMENT SIGN and all of the site improvements such as parking lots, utilities, public plazas, and landscaping. In October 2020, a community workshop was held and three stakeholder commit- tees were formed to refine the design of the playground, park pavilion, and overall park site. The committees were made up of residents, Council representatives, and Commissioners. These committees each met three times between November 2020 and January 2021 to help design the park elements that we see today. The playground will be a destina- tion, inclusive playground that meets the needs and desires of multiple age groups, abilities, and challenge levels. The play- ground itself is budgeted at $1.1 million and it features a prominent central play structure, zip lines, swings, indepen- dent play, sensory challenges, and more.
