PROJECT EVALUATION PROCESS
The parks and recreation staff and the Recreation Commission continue, on a yearly basis,
to evaluate the needs prior to selecting the potential park improvement projects. Each
park's individual needs were assessed based upon a set of criteria which included the
following:
• #1 - SAFETY/MAINTENANCE: Projects meeting this criteria were identified
due to a safety concern or was part of routine maintenance in order to avoid
a more costly expense in the future.
• #2- IMPROVED/ADDED AMENITY: Projects selected under this criteria were
identified for improvement of an existing aspect of the park or to add as a new
amenity to offer park users, based on feedback received or new trends.
• #3 - AESTHETICS/FUNCTIONALITY: Projects matching this criteria were
recognized in order to improve the current appearance or to give better over-
all function.
Once each park's projects were identified, they were ranked in order of importance and
were either added to the 2021 project list (attached) or were set aside for future projects.
