Description

This project funds design and construction of various park elements in local and non-local parks within the Energized Public Spaces Study Area throughout the county. Projects may create new amenities, renovate amenities, restore sites, or convert existing amenities. Amenities and work may include, but are not limited to dog parks, community gardens, skateboard facilities, water features, lighting, outdoor games, picnic shelters, public art, seating, exercise and play equipment, courts, activation support features, civic greens, accessibility and drainage improvements, signage, landscaping, hardscapes, walkways, site and recreation amenities, retaining walls, park management support elements, utilities, site work, park structures, etc. and are often combined with other projects. Any realignment of the remaining two lanes between Dorset and Arlington on Little Falls Parkway must be reviewed by Council before funds may be utilized for this purpose. No funds may be utilized for the implementation of a linear park in this section of Little Falls Parkway.

Justification

Vision 2030 recommended the following guiding principles for meeting future park and recreation needs in the County, which are reflected in the approved PROS 2017 plan service delivery strategy: balance renovation and conversion of older parks and facilities with new construction; respond to changing priorities by redefining existing land and facilities to provide different kinds of services; and deliver services to areas of highest need. This project will deliver amenities to urban parks which are in the areas of highest need. Approved plans and studies, including the 2018 Energized Public Spaces (EPS) Functional Master Plan, the 2019 Energized Public Spaces Design Guidelines, and the 2019 Site Suitability Study for Dog Parks.
