79 Reinvestment in the Parks and Recreation system to provide high-quality amenities 80 that evolve with changing community needs. 81 Expansion of environmental education and stewardship opportunities within an 82 established natural resource asset. 83 Intergenerational and lifelong recreation opportunities, consistent with the Master 84 Plan’s emphasis on active living and community connection. 85 Leveraging diverse funding sources and community partnerships to enhance public 86 amenities without a direct levy impact. 87 The study represents a thoughtful evaluation of how an existing community asset can 88 continue to serve residents while protecting ecological integrity and maintaining fiscal 89 responsibility. 90 91 92 Equity Impact Summary 93 The Harriet Alexander Nature Center is open to the public at no cost for drop-in visitation. 94 Locating a nature-based play amenity at HANC ensures that access to high-quality, nature- 95 centered play is not limited to families with the financial means to travel to regional facilities 96 outside the community. 97 Nature-based play environments support cognitive development, emotional regulation, risk 98 assessment skills, and environmental awareness. Providing this opportunity locally 99 increases access for families across the socio-economic spectrum and promotes healthy 100 outdoor activity in a free, publicly accessible setting. 101 Throughout project planning, accessibility and inclusive design principles would be 102 evaluated and incorporated when feasible to ensure individuals of varying physical and 103 developmental abilities can meaningfully engage with the space. 104 As a destination facility, HANC draws visitors from across the community. Future 105 engagement efforts would be designed to ensure broad community input and equitable 106 consideration of design impacts. 107 108 109 Budget Implications 110 At this time, Council action is limited to authorization to proceed with a feasibility and 111 conceptual design study. The anticipated cost of the study is between $10,000 and 112$15,000. The Roseville Central Park Foundation has agreed to fully fund this initial study if 113 the City authorizes proceeding. No City funds are anticipated for this phase. 114 115 The cost of a full project is not currently known and could vary significantly based on scope, 116 infrastructure needs, materials, and design elements. Based on staff research and site 117 visits, projects of this type typically range between $250,000 and $1,000,000. Based on 118 current commitments and expressions of support, staff feel that the project can be funded 119 entirely with third-party funding. Specifically: Page 3 of 4 Qbhf!21!pg!2:7
