Is there a more detailed list of exactly what is going to be added/replaced in the listed parks?
Responses provided by Jamie Lee Case, Director of Parks & Recreation:
Here is a breakdown of everything that will be improved:
Kenneth M. Copeland Memorial Park Improvements: Addition of shade structures, picnic tables, skate spot like that at Dunbar Park
Tennis Court Improvements: Replacement of rotting backboards, signage and permanent pickleball nets on one tennis court creating 8 permanent pickleball courts at Rio Vista
Rio Vista and Children’s Park restrooms Improvements: The toilets are old and were planned to be replaced within the CIP within the Riverfront Parks Restroom improvements project, but the toilets are constantly out of order during high use times and need to be addressed sooner.
Surfacing material at Playgrounds: We will not be using fee-in-lieu funds for this project. This is replacing the material around the playscapes in various neighborhood parks like Dunbar, Willow Springs, and Veteran’s
Installation of new water fountains in regional and neighborhood parks: Rio Vista, City Park, Children’s Park, Lower Purgatory, Blanco Shoals Natural Area, and Kenneth M. Copeland. Water is not available at all parks and fee-in-lieu funds are not available to for all neighborhoods due to benefit area. Addition of water fountains to all neighborhood parks is being evaluated and will likely be a future CIP project.
