Title
Approving the purchase for Cambridge Heights Challenge Course in the amount of $367,180.18, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Summary
This item is for approval of new parks equipment in the Cambridge Heights Park, located at 17500 Marfa Lights Trail. The improvements include a new shaded fitness area offering both youth and adults new fitness challenges. There are seven challenges on this obstacle course set up in a Ninja Warrior style challenge. This playground concept came from direct feedback from the public during the Parks and Recreation master planning process.
Funds being used for this project are from the Parkland Escrow account supplied by residential developers of the Cielo East Development and stays within in our 10 min walk to a park goal. The vendor is a BuyBoard vendor, contract # 679-22.
Cambridge Heights is the 18th most visited park in our park system with an average dwell time of 51 minutes. The adjacent playground on the park property was previously approved for replacement and will be replaced the same time as this new amenity. The park is 4.73 acres in size and has a 10 ft wide .65 mile loop trail that will offer the opportunity for residents and users to use the trail and/or the challenge course as a part of their healthy lifestyle options.
This playground improvement supports City Council strategic goals to engage the community through vibrant parks and recreation services, and meets the goal of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to improve health infrastructure for youth and families.
