STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This project will deliver a safe, upgraded splash pad with new fixtures and lighting supporting the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous and Active and Appealing.

 

REPORT:

The splash pad at Friendship Park, originally constructed in 1997, is now in poor condition due to a deteriorating surface, outdated features, and inadequate drainage. Planned enhancements include installing a new concrete surface with integrated ground spray water play features and color-changing accent lights. The project will encompass the construction of the concrete pad, as well as the mechanical, electrical, and control systems, spray fixtures, and related installations. To address current water accumulation and drainage issues, a transfer tank will be added to the design.

 

This project aims to enhance the park’s appeal and activity for families, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. The initiative aligns with the community’s goals to maintain and invest in park and recreation facilities and to upgrade and expand splash pad amenities, as outlined in the 2024 Council-approved Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan.

 

The project is scheduled to begin in mid-April 2026 and finish by the end of this fiscal year.
