BACKGROUND
This _year's park and trail capital improvement budget contains $80,000 for the installation of
covered shelters in two parks and $125,000 for the construction of Manchester Park. These
budgets will include the purchase of the shelters, installation, concrete foundations/sidewalks and
playground equipment for Manchester Park. The structures will serve as central gathering
locations for organized activities and events and provide shelter from inclement weather. The
addition of these shelters will fill a void in the city's park and recreation infrastructure to help
ensure that our park system remains a strong element in our mission to provide for today while
planning for the future. These improvements are scheduled to be completed by early summer.
