The latest updates on plans for two planned recreation centers and the future of City Park were presented at the Manhattan City Commission’s work session in City Hall Tuesday. The plan lays out the long-term vision for improvements and projects around the park. The last version of the plan was adopted in 2006, but city administration decided it needed updates as many projects within it have already been completed.
Park Planner Alfonso Leyva said the goal of this plan was to “create a space that caters to bicyclists and pedestrians” while enhancing activities already in the park and improving accessibility. He said these goals were determined after reaching out to community members for feedback on what they’d like out of the park.
The total cost of all projects contained within the plan is estimated to be somewhere between $4,315,2000 and $5,985,840. The price tag would be incurred over time rather than all at once as the plan is broken into phases of implementation.
