The Committee should discuss and provide a recommendation to the City Council on: <br />1. Shouldthe city invest in adaptive play equipment? <br />2. How much should the City invest? <br />3. When should the city make these investments? <br />4. What equipment should be purchased and where should it be placed. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation <br />The City Council should invest funds from the Park Dedication Fund to provide <br />recreation opportunities for a broader range of citizens by installing adaptive play <br />equipment. The Parks and Recreation Committee suggests thefollowing investments be <br />made: <br />Year Park Adaptive Equipment Total Cost (Estimated) <br />Item <br />2025 LaMotte ParkSensory Wave Horseshoe$24,000 <br />- Ground Level Arch <br />Acorn Creek Merry Musical $21,000 <br />Royal Meadows <br />2025 Totals $45,000 <br /> <br />2030* McBride ParkRoller Table $52,000 <br /> <br />2030 Totals $52,000 <br />*While the recommendation is for an investment in 2030 at McBride Park, this item <br />could be moved forward or delayed depending on whether or not additional Park <br />Dedication Funds are collected prior to that date. <br /> <br />- Note: The Parks and Recreation Committee endeavors to have inclusive elements in <br />all of our parks. However, further study is required to examine the feasibility of <br />adding elements to Eagle Park, given the small size of the park and its physical <br />constraints. <br />- Note: Recognizing that LaMotte Park is a destination for all residents of our city, the <br />Committee will continue to evaluate opportunities to add additional elements at this <br />park. <br /> <br /> <br />The above is simply staff’s recommendation to facilitate a more directed discussion. We <br />are very open to other options. <br /> <br />
