Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Summary
The city is moving ahead with a fully inclusive, fenced park on the odd-shaped corner lot, with inclusive playgrounds, water play, ball courts, and roughly 40 parking stalls. Neighbors' concerns about transients, noise, parking, and traffic have been worked into the design. Council told staff to start drawings now rather than wait for state grant approval.

Impact analysis
The project depends on a state grant still pending approval; construction timing could reach 2028 unless expedited.
People of all abilities, families, and the neighboring subdivision tired of the vacant, dusty lot.
Nearby residents raise concerns about traffic, noise, and after-hours activity, which the fenced design and gate hours are meant to address.
