HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - June 18, 1997 (74)OF 4� CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION c�tlF p AGENDA TITLE: Basketball Court Construction MEETING DATE: June 18, 1997 PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council approve the construction of one basketball court at Legion Park. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, developed by city staff and public input, calls for the construction of a basketball court at Legion Park (Exhibits A and B). This plan was adopted by City Council in January 1994 and staff is moving forward in completing its recommendations. Existing and soon to be constructed basketball courts (Exhibit C) in our parks system include: Century Park 0 court); Blakely Park (2 half courts); Hale Park (1 court); Hutchins Street Square (2 courts); Peterson Park (1 court); Van Buskirk Vh court). Future basketball installations include: Bridgetowne Development (1 court); Roget Park 0 court); DeBenedetti Park (2 courts); Richards Ranch 0 court). Additional courts could be installed in the parks system as the need arises. Exhibit D shows basketball courts located on school grounds. FUNDING: $30,000 - 1997/98 Capital Improvement Funds f - a � Ron Williamson, Parks and Recreation Director APPROVED: H. D I X O N F L Y N N recycled paper City Manager cc -1 QIN of Lodi Park and Recreation Plan Recommendations the basin be dug to a lower level creating a greater slope for drainage. This approach will help to drain the fields more quickly and also create more storm water retention. The current restroom building receives considerable vandalism. Part of this problem is caused by its poor location and part can be attributed to the design of the building itself. To offset this problem, the city should consider a single occupancy type of restroom building with a location closer to the street.- Other minor improvements recommended for this site include: • Develop an area for passive recreation use such as picnic facilities, seating areas, tables, etc. • Install a new backstop on the northeast diamond • Construct a paved and lighted pathway around the edge of the park • Upgrade the irrigation system • Add/replace trees • Install new park signs American Legion Park Site N-11 6.0 Acres This site is located at the corner of Hutchins and Vine Streets and is one of the few parks in the City that is oriented primarily towards passive recreational use. This park has several operational problems. One is that the playground equipment is quite old and spread out over a large area. A second problem is that there is no off-street parking. Under normal conditions, on -street parking is adequate but when the recreation building is used, some choose to use the walkway as a vehicle access and park adjacent to the building. Because of these problems and the need for a basketball court in the area, the city should first develop a master plan for the site. From an operational view, the playground equipment should be replaced and condensed into a smaller area. Because of the existing walls, berms and other features, a very interesting playground could be achieved. Some off-street parking and a basketball court should be provided but their exact :ovation will take some study. While there has been some discussion to expand the recreation building, this is not recommended. In fact, this space might not be needed when a new indoor recreation building is developed in another location. Other improvements should include: • Consolidate and replace playground equipment • Construct a lighted basketball court ar Resurface tennis courts • Upgrade the irrigation system • Add off-street parking (12-15 spaces) Exhibit A Lodi Califomia VIM- 11 I LLIV �i1T�Il ?urz� to j COURT �d Exhibit B QGJG3G�C " INot�rH //��y �� 4yy CNS y���NyyNIM Exhibit C ;�,.:..

I do not believe that Legion Park can accommodate another "attraction" - the traffic, noise, etc. would be not be conducive to the quality of our neighborhood.

With the recent playground and picnic area improvements, there will obviously be an increase in the utilization of the park. (Example: the park and new playground area is already busy and people even venture beyond the construction fence to utilize the equipment) -- IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THIS PARK CANNOT HANDLE ANOTHER "ATTRACTION'. Further, we are at a loss as to why the Lodi City Council did not mail this information to the homeowners in the area regarding the proposed basketball court addition?????
