SUMMARY

PROJECT TITLE: Parks - West Side Park

DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation

BUDGET CODE: CFP-PRK-00015

JUSTIFICATION: Improves existing service

START DATE (FY): TBD

END DATE (FY): TBD

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Our goal is to add another west end neighborhood park that will provide this section of town with a playground and other amenities. It will be limited by the size of the lot identified at West 6th Street and Minnesota Avenue for the park location. Tursi Park is similar to what could be designed here. We would hold community meetings to take input on the best design for the neighborhood.

REcommendation:

Build new neighborhood park at West 6th and Minnesota through grants, community donations and city funds.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES / STATUS:

The west streets have limited parks and playgrounds within walking and biking distance given the increasing density of this neighborhood. The Community Forest Lands do offer recreational opportunities, but they lack the playgrounds and other amenities found in a more traditional park.
