Subject: Highlands Park Splash Pad and Building Project Update
The splash pad and building improvements at Highlands Park continue to move forward.
Reconstruction of the park building began in late August and is entering its final stages. The
reconstruction consisted of reconfiguring the floor plan to include ADA and exterior accessible
restrooms, mechanical space for splash pad equipment, improved community room and the addition of
an awning for shade and picnicking. As part of the upgrades, both the interior and the exterior received
a complete "face -lift" through new fixtures, doors, windows, siding, paint and flooring. It has truly turned
out to be a terrific project and will be another great addition to the parks system. Attached with this
memo are some before and after picture of the project as of November 8, 2011.
Bids were opened for the splash pad project on October 27. Council will be awarding or rejecting the
bid at their November 21 regular meeting. Timing of the project has been delayed by a couple weeks
due to process but a targeted completion date of July 1, 2012 remains the goal.
Informational only, no action is requested at this time.
