Each year, the Recreation and Parks Department allocates a portion of the Capital Improvements Budget for the improvement of existing hard surfaces and new installations of hard surfaces. This particular contract focuses on the improvement of asphalt and concrete surfaces that are highly used by the public and includes entry drives, parking lots, trails, sidewalks, and sport courts. By improving these surfaces, safe and easy access can be ensured to the parks and facilities. Areas for improvement were initially considered through recommendations from internal staff and public involvement. All requests were assessed through a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) form and were given a rating from 0, meaning the worst condition, to 100, meaning the best condition. All requests were prioritized for action based on their respective PCR scores. From there, staff confirmed which projects to move forward with.
This project provides improvements at locations throughout the City of Columbus, including Greene Countrie Park, Stoneridge Park, Joan Park, Cremeans Park, Karns Park, Parkridge Park, Amvet Village Park, Holton Park, Three Creeks Park, Big Walnut Park, Wolfe Park, Carriage Place Park, Franklin Park and Krumm Park.
