Background
The playground equipment at Oak Creek Park is 22 years old and in need of replacement. The project is included in the Parks Master Plan and the 2023 Parks and Trails Capital Improvement Fund Budget has appropriated $50,000 for this improvement. The vision for the playground is to provide a wide variety of innovative equipment for the neighborhood to enjoy.
Staff, under the cooperative purchasing contract of U.S. Communities Government Alliance would utilize the USGA pricing structure and purchase the playground equipment line manufactured by Landscape Structures and supplied by Flagship Recreation. Using the USGA cooperative will save the city over $4,000. As part of the process, staff met with Flagship Recreation to develop design concepts for the park. From that meeting, two concepts were identified.
Attached are the two design concepts for Oak Creek Park and their proposals. Staff is asking the Park Board for their input on each option.
