Community Park surfacing, paving and tree work slated for fall

Parks department staff told commissioners that Community Park’s playground surfacing is nearly finished and that a paving project this fall will add parking by the pickleball courts and refresh driving surfaces. "Next week, they are supposed to be finishing the surfacing, which would mean that the park is done after that," staff said. Staff said they do not yet have exact paving dates but expect to have the schedule in hand within a week.

Staff also said an arborist identified about 22 trees that need dead-limb removal or trimming; the department will begin targeted cleanup work to reduce storm-related limb failures. Monarch Park will receive a paved walking path from the parking lot to the shelter; the Rotary Club contributed more than $10,000 to recent shelter roof repairs and will assist with finishing touches.
