2023-08-14 Park Board Meeting

We are currently working with Baker Tilly, the Town Council, and the Redevelopment Commission to develop funding strategies for Phase 1 of Pioneer Park Master Plan. This is still in the planning phase and may take 2-3 years to complete, but we are very excited about these updates.
- That plan includes:
  - A new Maintenance Facility
  - Remodeling the current maintenance facility into a camp / event center
  - Additional Parking
  - Pickleball Courts
  - Additional Restrooms
  - A new playground
We voted to move forward with a topographical survey which is required to aid in the planning and engineering for the Master Plan.
We also voted to begin clearing the eventual location for the new maintenance building
Halloween Hike will be on the Saturday before Halloween. Past attendance and general public input seemed to support this as the preference.

Old Town Park Playground
- There is money already allocated for a new playground in the Town Comprehensive Plan and we have an opportunity to double that money with a grant. We voted to move forward with this plan to update the playground at the Old Town Park
Park Website
- We voted to opt for a cheaper alternative to our current website hosting which should offer us more flexibility while saving some money and not losing any functionality.

The bathroom building for the Old Town Park has been installed and should be ready for public use by the end of the week.
The pool heater has been repaired and is being shipped back to us. So look forward to having warmer water next year as we had to go the entire 2023 season without a heater.
New mowers are working out great
Disc Golf Course:
- Layout has been finalized.
- Our team continues clearing out the necessary areas
- We expect to have this course completed in the next month or two and open in the fall.
