Memo to the Park and Recreation Commission/pkrvw <br /> February 9,2000 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Hillside Estates 5th Addition Park <br /> • <br /> A concept plan for Hillside 5th Addition Park has been approved by the Commission, <br /> however due to neighborhood opposition, no improvements have been made. <br /> Recently, Riverside development has prepared a 2.21-acre concept park plan for <br /> Hillside Estates 8th Addition that includes a tennis courts, a basketball court, a tot <br /> lot and parking. The park is central to the overall Hillside Estates development, is <br /> bound by public streets, is relatively flat and is well connected well to the power line <br /> corridor and Hillside Estates 5th Park. As proposed, the 8th Addition conceptual <br /> park is proposed with amenities that are redundant with those of the 5th Addition <br /> Park concept plan. Staff believes the proposed Hillside Estates 8th Addition park is <br /> a better location for the proposed amenities. If the park concept for 8th Addition is <br /> accepted, then an alternative use for the 5th Addition Park should be considered. <br /> Hillside 5th Addition might be used for a natural area with a prairie restoration with <br /> paths and possibly a picnic shelter with tables. The two Hillside Estates Parks, <br /> along with the power corridor and trails could function as one larger park complex. <br /> Deerfield 4th Addition Park <br /> Staff has prepared a park plan with existing park features on it and suggests the <br /> following additions to the plan: <br /> • Park boundary markers <br /> • Park identification signs <br /> • • Hedge and fence the property line along Highland Road to stop winter sliders <br /> from crossing the road. <br /> • Plant herbaceous plants around park side of pond and shrubs along road. <br /> • Add play equipment to play structure <br /> • Add plantings near upper basketball court to prevent balls from rolling down <br /> hill <br /> • Convert 1/2 court basketball and sand volleyball to a full court. <br /> Elk Hills Park <br /> Elk Hills Park is a 120 ft x 240 ft rectangular shaped park on Elk Hills Drive. The <br /> lot is a rolling ravine and heavily wooded. The Master Park Plan included the <br /> possible addition of a picnic area, playground equipment and trail connection. Staff <br /> recommends that this park be preserved as open space. <br /> Barrington Park <br /> Staff has prepared a park plan with existing park features on it and suggests the <br /> following improvements: <br /> • Enlarged play structure (remove volleyball court) <br /> • More landscaping and trees <br /> • A paved path to the play structure and courts <br /> 111111 • A place for garbage/recycling <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\parkmmo\pkrvw.doc <br />
