About the project
The project includes replacing the 40-year-old restroom facility with a new building that ensures Americans with Disabilities Act standards are met. It will also include a concrete pad for storing park equipment and a screen around the storage pad, according to city documents.
Funding for the project is budgeted in the 2024-2025 Parks Improvement Capital Improvement Plan. Construction is expected to take about 10 months to complete, per the documents.
The background
The city acquired High Point Park in 1977 and designated it as a community park in 1985. Over the years, several upgrades have been made, including a recent project to replace outdated sports lighting.
City documents warn that rising maintenance costs and declining facilities could impact local leagues and tournaments if the restroom isn't replaced.
