MEMORANDUM
TO:
Park & Recreation Commission
FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director
DATE: April 11, 1997
SUB J:
Prairie Knoll Neighborhood Park Committee; Request to Add a Half.-Court
Basketball Pad to Park Plan
The Prairie Knoll Neighborhood Park Committee met on March 27, 1997. The neighbors would
like to request that a half-court basketball pad be added to the park plan. A concept plan
depicting this addition is attached.
The addition of the basketball court fills the park out very nicely. Park maintenance crews will
access this site in the next 3 weeks to complete grading accommodations for the play area. At
that time it would be prudent to complete the work associated with a basketball cour! (sub-cut,
gravel base, asphalt).
RECOMMENDATION
In the interest of accessing this site once with heavy equipment, I recommend the Park &
Recreation Commission add a half-court basketball pad to Prairie Knoll Park. The costs
associated with this amenity ($2500) to be funded by your 1997 contingency fund.
