Bounded by Interstate 35W <br />and state highway 10 to the east and west, a rail lane and <br />industrial uses to the north, and a major county road to the <br />south, the neighborhood is fairly isolated from other <br />community parks and park amenities. As such, Arden Park <br />plays a key role in providing recreational opportunities to <br />the neighborhood and its residents. The property on which <br />Arden Manor Park is situated was deeded to the City in <br />2000. <br />Project Background: <br />In 2021, the City developed, submitted and was <br />successfully awarded a Community Development Block <br />Grant through the Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development (HUD) for $189,700 toward professional <br />services and constructed associated with the Arden Manor <br />park project.

The awarded bid <br />00 <br />was to Peterson Companies for a total bid price of <br />$816,523.35. <br />After award, a change order was initiated to remove <br />portions of the work from the contract.
