Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Pavement Protectors dba M&D Blacktop Sealing for the Walnut Hill Park Shelter Improvements. These improvements will include the installation of an open shelter, site furnishings, earthwork, asphalt paths, and landscaping.
Background: In 2013, Walnut Hill Golf Course ended operations and was closed to the public. In 2014, Recreation and Parks Planning and Design staff utilized available PDO funding and worked to demolish the existing clubhouse and maintenance facility that were on site to alleviate any liability due to the dilapidated and abandoned buildings. The demolition project included overall site cleanup and grading. Following the demolition, Planning and Design staff began meeting with the Walnut Hill Park Block Watch and neighboring community to determine the future of the park. A Phase 1 plan was developed to include additional site cleanup, a half mile loop walk, site amenities, a playground, and a new 18 hold disc golf course. It was approved and supported by the community and it was constructed in the late fall of 2015. This second phase of development will include the installation of an open shelter and additional site amenities which is in conformance with the community approved plan for park development. This project supports the mission of the Recreation and Parks Master Plan by expanding offerings and amenities to appeal to a more diversified audience and user groups in the Regional Parks.
