The intent of this memo is to outline the work required for the renovation, to suggest ideas for gathering public input, and to get recommendations from the Town Council on the level and complexity of the project. Background Bighorn Park is one of Vail's most enjoyable neighborhood parks. The land was acquired by the town in the late 70's, and development as a park began in the early 80's. In 1988, a restroom and landscaping was added and improvements were made to an existing play area by Town of Vail crews. Only minor improvements and maintenance have been completed on that play area in the last 17 years. In March of 2002, Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Playground Safety and Improvement Plan. The main goal of the 5-year plan is to bring all of the town's play areas into compliance with current playground safety guidelines. We have made significant progress towards completing the Plan, and, at this time, six of the town's nine play areas have been altered or reconstructed to meet the guidelines. Concurrently, with the renovations of these play areas, Vail is becoming well known in the region as having the most exciting playgrounds around. In order to complete the Plan, the play areas at Bighorn Park, Red Sandstone Park, and Booth Creek Park will all require substantial renovation. As you know, the reconstruction of Booth Creek Park is tentatively part of the 5-year RETT Budget (design in 2006, construction not yet scheduled), so work on that play area would coincide with that project. Both Red Sandstone Park and Bighorn Park play areas share similar hazards in terms of excessive fall heights onto unsuitable play surfacing, undersized use zones, and several worn out play features. Project "Givens" • Project Budget - $225,000 • Dog Park use will continue • Neighborhood public process will be included (see Public Process below) • The design will comply with playground safety guidelines and ADA requirements o Renovate or rebuild the existing post and platform play structures o Replace worn out play components such as slides and climbers o Enclose the play area with a fence to separate the dog park and playground users o Replace the pea gravel surfacing with engineered wood fiber surfacing • The Town Council has final approval f RECYCLED P.9 PER Project "Assumptions" • Art elements will be incorporated as play features or site elements • Existing structures will be reused as much as is practical The design should be interesting and creative, yet not as "special" as Ford Park or Pirateship Park • The design will be a mix of custom made and manufactured play pieces The project will include other minor park alterations as needed o Repair drainage problems around picnic shelter o Install an (ADA) accessible path to the picnic shelter o Construct an accessible entry to the play area o Paint and repair spillway bridge as needed o Raise trail approaches to Christopher Sewell Bridge over Gore Creek Public Process Staff offers the following suggestions towards gathering public input and support for the project. A. Town Council Work Session -January 18, 2004 Gather initial feedback from the Town Council on the renovation project B. East Vail Open House at Vail Racquet Club -Early February Hold an evening Open House in East Vail to gather feedback from the neighborhood in regards to types of play equipment desired, play area themes, public art, and other park concerns. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday February 2, 2005. Notification for the Open House will be advertised in the Vail Daily, and neighbors in close proximity to the park will be notified by mail. After the Open House, all further public design discussions will be held at regular Town Council Work Session and Evening Meetings. C. Town Council Work Session -Late February If the input gathered from the Open Houses is substantially different from the Project "Givens" and "Assumptions", Staff will present public feedback and recommendations to the Council, and ask for comments towards those recommendations. D. Schematic Design Presentation -Town Council Work Session -March Staff will present Schematic Design(s) along with preliminary cost estimates to the Council, and will ask for informal permission to proceed with Final Design E. Final Design Presentation -Town Council Evening Session -April Staff will ask for a decision to approve the Final Design and to proceed through Design Review, Construction Documents, and the Bidding Process F. Final Approval -Town Council Evening Session -June Council Questions o Are the above listed "Givens" and "Assumptions" appropriate and adequate? Many play equipment manufacturers are designing innovative new features. See the attached sheet for examples. Are these types of equipment appropriate in Vail? • Are sound oriented play features something to consider? Requested Council Action 1. Provide an informal confirmation that the Project "Givens" and "Assumptions" as shown above are appropriate for this project 2.
