As part of that program, funds in the total amount of $575,000.00 in Parks, Recreation and Open Space Improvements Bond funds were approved for park improvements at Coliseum Oaks, Herrera and Lincoln Parks, located in Council District 2. These projects were designed and bid as a package to make the contract attractive to local small businesses, the proximity and geographical locations of the parks, and to expedite the work. The balance of the project funds will be used for design services, environmental services, advertising, and project management. Any remaining funds are to be realized as bond savings.

As a result of the community input, Coliseum Oaks Park improvements will provide installation of an 18' x 24' pavilion, four (4) picnic tables, area lighting next to the pavilion and electric service. Herrera Park improvements will provide the installation of a parking lot, walkways, landscaping and a portable toilet enclosure. Lincoln Park improvements provide installation of a walking trail.
