AGENDA ITEM <br />Date: May 27, 2025 <br />Title: 2025 Parks Projects <br />Presenter: Adam Edwards, City Administrator / Engineer <br />Section: Parks Report <br />Item: 9 <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this council action is to gain approval of the design and study work necessary for <br />the parks projects and initiatives identified in the 2025 Parks Capital Improvement Plan. <br />2. Background: <br />The following Parks items have been identified in the 2025 Parks Capital Improvement Plan: <br />a. Hackberry Park Design <br />The proposed design work is a continuation from the park planning completed in 2023. Improving <br />Hackberry Park has been a city focus for over a decade. In 2016 the city entered into a life estate <br />agreement to gain possession of 140 Hackberry Hill, which was a residential parcel in the middle <br />of the park. The city took possession of the parcel in 2023, and subsequently completed the <br />demolition of the structures on the parcel. This project includes drainage improvements for the <br />park and surrounding neighborhood, much needed infrastructure repairs, reorienting the playing <br />fields, improved parking and would provide potential improvements such a ADA accessible paths <br />and support facilities. The intent of the design work will be to continue engagement with <br />stakeholders, to refine a plan that is buildable and provide documentation to be used in grant <br />proposals to secure funding for future construction. The CIP Slide and the Plan summary are <br />attached. <br />b. Antoine Park Master Plan <br />In 2024 the Park Commission asked staff to develop a plan to engage the neighborhood <br />concerning updates to the park amenities at Antoine Park. Antoine Park is a neighborhood park <br />that is fairly well used, and part of the study will be to explore improvement opportunities to <br />benefit the neighborhoods using the park. The CIP Slide is attached. <br />c. County Road 6 Trail Resurfacing <br />This project is part of ongoing pavement maintenance efforts to our existing trail system. This trail <br />runs parallel to County Road 6 on the south side from OCB to Willow Drive. It connects the <br />Independence trail to the Willow Drive trail via the Lee Carlson ball fields. The trails was <br />constructed 20 years ago and the pavement is in need of resurfacing, particularly on the eastern <br />end. The CIP slide is attached. <br />3. Scope: <br />a. Hackberry Park Design. <br />The scope of work for the Hackberry Park Design includes the designs for the playing fields, <br />stormwater management, parking and landscaping as well as associated stakeholder engagement, <br />survey, and permitting support. <br />b. Antoine Park Master Plan. <br />The scope of work for the Antoine Park Master Plan will be to develop a plan with short and long <br />41 <br />
