Park Design Refinements & Next Steps

On October 1, 2024 the City Council provided staff further direction on the Park Design. Throughout the process, the City Council will be presented with decision points at appropriate junctures and the public will also be kept informed.

Refinement of Park Design

• Design certain park features with alternates that could be included or excluded. Features include the plaza, the sunset deck and hill, and the native gardens.
• Value engineering opportunities, such as modifying the pickleball court social area and changing material types, and the number of shade structures were also identified as alternate options. This approach provides the City Council the future opportunity to retain or remove elements later in the process depending on cost considerations.
• Modify the plan to retain the existing length of the dog park, which will add about 50 feet to the design and to explore the location of the playground within the park.

Next Steps

• Develop the technical design and engineering drawings. This work will begin in 2025 and will take about a year. The City Council will approve the final design.
• Following the design phase, an environmental review process will take place.
• Next, the final design will go out to bid
• After the bid process, a funding strategy will be finalized, and construction will take place.
• Construction will be conducted in three phases to minimize impacts on sports programming and other user groups.
