Title

Approving the purchase and installation of a new playground, shade, and safety surfacing at Falcon Pointe Splash Park, located at 1813 Tranquility Ln, in the amount of $138,155, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.

 

Summary

The existing playground at Falcon Pointe Splash Park, located at 1813 Tranquility Ln, is 15 years old and was installed in 2009. This replacement includes an updated playground, new shade coverings, and new poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing.  The City has successfully lowered the average age of the city’s playgrounds from 11.63 in 2021 to 8.00 today. This replacement will see the average age of our playgrounds drop to 7.50 at the completion of this project.

 

Funds being used for this project are from Parkland Escrow, which is supplied by residential development. The vendor is a Buyboard vendor, contract #679-22.

 

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.
