FY2020 Budget

CIP Project:

Cedar Fork Elementary School Park Fields

Project Category:

Parks & Recreation

Site:

Town Hall Drive on the site of Cedar Fork Elementary School

Develop a multi-purpose field on the Cedar Fork Elementary School site providing more flexible space than the current grading allows. A longer multi-purpose field can accommodate different recreation programs like youth soccer, flag football, ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, and t-ball space next to the field would make it available for more youth programs, as well.

Description:

Picture/Map:

The site is part of the approved joint use agreement with the school, requires no land acquisition. The existing community center provides for parking and restroom facilities. The original site plan included fields with lights and sport use. This type of improvement is recommended in the Parks master plan to increase space flexibility due to the limited availability of future park land.

Justification:

The flex space allows programming to shift as demand changes. The area is currently being programmed for limited use for small youth soccer. Improvements could add to programming for youth, teenagers and adults. Staff will need to verify the County's interlocal agreement can be adopted for specific park use only as the original agreement included siting a library on the property as well as open space.
