77 reused, not dumped into the city's wastewater system) could likely be purchased and 78 installed for $500,000. 79 Playground: Because Rosebrook Park lacks permanent curbing and needs 80 additional drain tile to mitigate flooding issues, a more realistic estimate for the 81 playground is $200,000 82 Pathway Lighting: Preliminary estimates are that lighting can be added to the park 83 for $70,000. 84 South Side (Building Area) Parking: An estimated 35 stalls could be added to the 85 south side of the park, where the pool is currently located, for an estimated $150,000 86 to $200,000. The addition of parking would likely require the removal of five trees 87(two ash, one silver maple, and two linden). 88 North Side (Soccer Field) Parking: Additional parking on the north side appears to 89 be unfeasible due to the placement of utilities. 90 Soccer Field Improvements: The current fields are prone to flooding and wet 91 conditions as they have developed a bowling effect (where the center is lower than 92 the sidelines) from many years of use, and naturally wet soil conditions. Re-crowning 93 and sodding the fields will cost an estimated $170,000. 94 Concept/Schematic Design Services: Due to the number of moving parts, it is 95 advisable to employ a landscape architect for the development of a cohesive site 96 plan and develop project specifications. The City has received a quotation from LHB 97 Architects of "not to exceed" $19,000, however, staff feel that the actual expenditure 98 will be significantly below that number. 99 Staff presented this information to the Parks and Recreation Commission on January 7, 100 2025. The Commission held a fruitful conversation about the project, and although they 101 were sympathetic to some of the feedback regarding the preservation of the pool, 102 unanimously recommended that staff move forward with a splash pad (instead of a pool), a 103 new playground, additional parking where the current pool is located, and the addition of 104 pathway lighting (minutes are attachment 3). 105 106 Based on staff analysis and the Commission recommendation, with Council approval, staff 107 are prepared to move forward with the following: 108 Develop a modified site plan as outlined in attachment 1 109 Replace the wading pool with a splash pad 110 Replace the playground with a new, updated playground 111 Add parking on the south side of the park building (where the pool is currently 112 located) 113 Add pathway lighting on the east side of the park. 114 At this time, staff does not recommend proceeding with field repairs or additional parking on 115 the north side of the soccer fields. 116 117 To implement the project, the staff proposes the following steps: 118 Accept LHB proposal for site plan and specification development (attachment 7). 119 Issue a request for proposals for the replacement of the Rosebrook Park playground 120(March/April). 121 Issue a request for proposals for a new splash pad (March/April).
