increased traffic in the already busy park. Attendees also suggested exploring a combined pool <br />and splash pad option or examining the cost difference between the two. Additional suggestions <br />included installing trail lighting around the park, expanding parking options, and maintain green <br />space. <br /> <br />Following the neighborhood meeting, staff distributed a survey to gather broader feedback. The <br />results revealed an even split between residents who preferred a splash pad and those who <br />favored a wading pool, with strong opinions on both sides. There was, however, consensus on <br />the need for playground upgrades. <br /> <br />Staff provided updated cost estimates for the proposed improvements at Rosebrook Park. A <br />modern wading pool with splash amenities is estimated to cost approximately $1.5 million, while <br />a simpler version could be constructed for around $1 million. Installing a recirculating splash pad <br />would cost about $500,000. <br />Additional proposed improvements include trail lighting, estimated at $70,000, and parking lot <br />expansions. Expanding the parking lot near the park building is estimated at $200,000, while <br />expanding the lot near the soccer fields would cost approximately $300,000. <br />The CIP has allocated $500,000 for the wading pool replacement and $165,000 for the <br />playground replacement. Other potential funding sources include Park Dedication Funds and <br />grant opportunities. <br /> <br />Based on the information gathered, staff recommended the following scope and funding: <br /> Replace the playground - $200,000 <br /> Install splash pad -$450,000 <br /> Replace the current pool location with 30-35 additional parking spots - $200,000 <br /> Add trail lighting on the east side of the park - $70,000 <br />o Estimated Project Total: $920,000 <br />o Funded via: <br />$670,000 in 2025 CIP <br />Up to $250,000 in Park Dedication <br />Reduce Park Dedication impact if potential grants are secured <br /> <br />Chair Matts-Benson asked whether the water from the splash pad runs continuously. Staff <br />explained that the water operates on a timer and is activated by a push-button system when in <br />use. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
