FY2021 Budget

CIP Project:

Morrisville Community Park Phase 3

Project Category:

Parks & Recreation

Site:

Existing Morrisville Community Park site in the area near the Kudrow Lane parking lot.

The current plan for the park includes construction of tennis courts near the Kudrow Lane parking lot, walking trails from adjacent communities with connectivity to greenway network, instructional/league play programs, fitness stations, and miscellaneous site amenities. Additionally, it includes some existing sports field improvements for ADA compliance, bleachers pads and backstop for T-Ball.

Description:

Picture/Map:

Tennis courts would increase the number of courts available to the public and include lighting to extend hours available, allowing for instructional programs. Walking trails will provide passive recreation and exercise opportunities and serve as connectors to adjacent communities. The 2018 Parks and Recreation Master Plan indicates support for the amenities. The survey report also provides Priority Investment Ratings for facilities and programs indicate greenway trails are a high priority, along with fitness opportunities and walking for exercise. Site has some topography limitations and would require more comprehensive site analysis. It will be important to consider timing with the renovations at MAFC and loss of tennis courts. The site additionally complements the recent Crabtree Hatcher Creek Greenway, the recent MCP bathroom improvements and has historically served as a center piece of the Towns park system. USTA grant funding potential or other funding sources may assist with court construction.
