1997 - 2002 DRAFT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM NARRATIVE 1997 River's Bend $ 37,000 Shelter g2 would be sighted adjacent to the playground making it available to the soccer, softball field and tennis ~ourt users in addition to the general public. The path to Shelter #1 links the existing path (abOut 35 feet away) and the fishing pier to the shelter and nearby picnic station and provides for ADA compliance. Approximately $~1,000 would fund the installation of a basketball standard and associated stripping of the northern biturninous parking lot. About $2,000 of the $37,000 total is needed for improvements to the softball field including safety fences. Alpine Park $265,000 A quarter-million~ dollar in Park Trust Funds are estimated to be available by sale of the residential property north o~ 153rd Avenue (across from Alpine Park) plus $40,000 in Landf'fll Trust Fund (LTF) interest e~0'nings. While the park will ultimately require one to two million dollars for development, $2{_5,000 will construct some athletic fields, ir0.'gation' ~d parking, thus keeping pace with athleficifield demand and initiating park development m proxarmty to urban homes south of 153rd Avenue ton either side of County Road #5. The $40,000 LTF allocation will provide for engineering, grading, seeding, and other improvements early in the year before pending the income from the sale of the land is realized. 1998 Central Park $ 63,000 As recent as late [995, the City has had discussions with the owner of the 35 acres east of Central Park. If the land. were to become available, the City should actively pursue it for community athletic field need~s, in addition to a family picnicking site in the wooded area in the northeast quadrant of the 35 acres. If the property is not available, the City should consider constructing a tennis court facility, ~n the existing portion of park. The smaller of Cetatrai Park's two playgrounds should be re-sighted to join the largest piece of play equipment. In adltition, some screening (beyond the home run fence) of field 4's third base line should be conside.~ed. Strategically placed trees would serve to deflect baseballs in the event that baseball is allowe~ on that softball field. Another proposal related to Central's playground was to involve the public in a fund-raiser for constructing a pl4yground suiting Central Parks status in the community. Local community groups, such as~ Lions Club, would be logical partners. The endeavor could include actual building of the structure by volunteers. Peltzer Pork $ 35,000 By 1998, it is believed that densities in the Regency Pond Addition will require a rehabilitation of Peltzer Park to include a new playground, landscaping, benches, etc.
