Project Background
This Project is part of the voter approved 2012-2017 Bond Program for Parks and Recreation and Open Space Improvements. The proposition approved $375,000.00 for general park improvements to the park.
This Project provides general park improvements and the development of a basketball court, a walking trail and shade structures. This ordinance awards a construction contract for Tom Slick Creek Park improvements by adding a basketball court, providing a new shade structure to cover recently installed outdoor exercise cluster of equipment at the trailside exercise station and add two shade structures for the smaller dog park at the neighborhood side of the Park. It also includes a 500 linear feet, 6 feet wide walking path, linking the new parking area to the existing parking area. The new walking trail will comprise a concrete finished trail of approximately 500 linear feet and about 6 feet wide.
