which is now being used for neighborhood purposes. With the exception of expansion of Woodland Green Park for a tennis court and similar improvements, along with connections to those park spaces, park dedication will largely be cash. Receipt of the aforementioned peninsula would provide additional public contact to the River as well as offering a fishing experience adjacent to one of the Rum's few islands. 10. Restoration of Dwelling on Sunfish Lake for Park Building/Warming House $20,000 The City is currently (July 1998) in the process of examining acquisition of property along Sunfish Lake for park purposes. There currently is one unoccupied dwelling in the west central portion of Sunfish Lake, which may make an ideal park building or warming house in the winter. 11. Trail to 149th Avenue $15,900 By this year, it is expected that subdivision of land will occur north of Co. Rd. 116, midway between Co. Rd. 83 and Co. Rd. 56. Part of the park dedication requirements should be an appropriate 1/4 mile trail from Limonite Street at 149th Avenue south to Co. Rd. 116. This will facilitate neighborhood access to the east/west route the Co. Rd. 116 trail provides. 12. Central Park (East) Park Road and Picnic Area $55,000 Somewhat concurrent with the engineering and design in I999 will be the construction of a park road to facilitate future development and access to the tennis courts. 2001 13. Community Park #5 Soccer Field Development $72,000 Following the purchase of the property and the development of the parkway to access the home sites, (and connect the neighborhood to the park), soccer field development will be the first priority to provide for Fall 2001 or Spring 2002 play. 14. Community Park 5 Playground $45,000 ....... use this park, as mentioned, will be needed for neighborhood use including a playground with an ADA path connecting to a parking site. 15. Solstice Park Irrigation $30,000 Currently, residents of the Solstice Park area are cooperating in moving garden hoses and sprinklers in an attempt to maintain grass in this heavily used neighborhood park. As indicated, the density of the homes in the area, in combination with some of the poorest soils in our park system, make irrigation an important requirement for a usable park. This project could be concurrent with the park expansion to the east when that parcel is subdivided. 16. Central Park Land Payment $29,600
