Commissioners told bond-funded playground, Bosque fencing and equipment purchases are moving forward

City parks staff told the Parks and Recreation Commission on April 16 that several bond-funded and grant projects are progressing.

Diane Sonia, project division manager, said work to complete the Enchanted Hills and Rio Vista Park playground projects (part of the 2022 bond program) is wrapping up. She added the city is preparing paperwork for a Bosque fencing project and is beginning purchasing for a playground replacement at the sports complex.

Sonia said staff are also pursuing procurement for a parking lot and sidewalk section at the sports complex using grant funds. She noted that a bond question supporting $1,200,000 in quality-of-life improvements, which included library and recreation facility items as well as playground and basketball-court replacements, was approved by voters.

When a commissioner asked later about Phase 2 of Campus Park, Sonia said staff would revise bidding processes and expect to go out to bid "hopefully within the month."
