BACKGROUND:
The work to be done in each park is summarized below:
1. Brooksville Hills Trail. Currently there is a gravel trail
leading to the playground equipment from Brooks Circle
S.E.. The intent is to blacktop this trail. This would define
the park access and allow the neighborhood easy access to
the park area.
2. Raspberry Woods Trail. As identified in the
Comprehensive Plan trail connections between
neighborhoods is essential. This trail connection would
connect the Carriage Hills neighborhood with the
Raspberry Ridge neighborhood. There are currently two
trail stubs on the Carriage Hills side and two access points
on the Raspberry Ridge side. This trail would connect
these already established access points.
3. Woodview Trail. Now that Pheasant Meadows is being
developed it is important for us to complete the trail
segment which runs from Pheasant Meadows to Spruce
Trail. This trail section ties together the two
neighborhoods.
4. Raspberry Ridge Trail. The neighbors have requested
that we install a trail from Raspberry Ridge Road through
the park to Lords Street. This trail section will eventually
tie into the trail on 21.
5. Willows Trail and Parking Bay. This will be a short
section of trail which will provide access to the picnic
shelter and playground equipment. We will also include
four off street parking bays, one of which will be a disabled
parking stall.
6. Memorial Basketball Court. P.L.A.Y. (Hoops in the
Parks) has requested that the City install a full size
basketball court at Memorial Park. There is a large area
behind the baseball field that will be an ideal location for
this court.
7. Raspberry Ridge Basketball Court. P .LA. Y. (Hoops in
the Parks) and the neighbors have requested a basketball
court in this park.

8. Indian Ridge Court. (Hoops in the Parks) and the
neighbors have also requested that a basketball court be
installed in this park.
Design of these projects will be done in-house as a
cooperative effort between the Parks and Engineering
Departments. By doing so, the city will save on design
costs and allow a full commitment of the funding to
construction costs. The design scope of these projects is
small and it is anticipated that this work can be done
efficiently in-house. In addition, the construction
management and field work will be done in-house as well.
FUNDING: The estimated costs of the proposed projects
are summarized below.
