COMMUNITY PARK #2; 83RD AVENUE / OLIVE AVENUE (CS00034)

Project Description
This project involves the design and development of the City's second Community Park, located at the southeast corner of 83rd Avenue and Olive Avenue. A Master Plan concept was shared with City Council that identified the development of approximately 85-acres of area, including 60-acres from the former Robertson Farm parcel, and an additional 25-acres of area south of the Butler Water Reclamation Facility. The Master Plan included six baseball/softball fields with associated restrooms, concessions, spectator areas, parking, four lighted and regulation size soccer fields and support facilities, a five-acre lake, skate court, dog park, picnic areas, splash park area, playgrounds, community/or historic garden areas and infrastructure and landscaping for the site. The park also requires coordination with the widening of 83rd Avenue, between Butler Road and Olive Avenue when the park is built to capacity, and the extension of Butler Road between 83rd Avenue and 79th Avenue in cooperation with the Water Reclamation Facility. The park area plans to use reclaimed water from the adjacent plant for irrigation purposes. This project is planned for a phased development approach.
