Parks and Recreation Commission - Jul 14, 2026
A long list of park projects is moving: City Park's one-of-a-kind accessible playground arrives in August, Vista Bonita Park is tracking for an October finish, Harmon Park gets lights and resurfaced courts, and Baxter Dog Park could go out to bid by year-end.
Parks and Recreation Commission - Jun 9, 2026
Staff asked commissioners to weigh which of three underdeveloped parks should get park in-lieu dollars next — none of the funds cover full build-out. Pheasant Meadow in particular is bare dirt the city inherited from an old subdivision deal, and neighbors are asking when the park is coming.
Parks and Recreation Commission - Feb 10, 2026
The commission is updating the parks master plan and setting priorities for park projects, drawing on park-in-lieu fees and capital improvement funding. The updated project list builds on the 2016 Master Plan and covers improvements at neighborhood and community parks.
