We currently have 16 <br />parks with playground amenities and half of those are due to be replaced in the next 5 years. A plan is needed <br />to manage this next phase in our parks. Playground amenities will need to be removed as they age out and the <br />commission is asked to help determine a course of action to manage these amenities. Factors that should be <br />considered are cost, changing demographics, need, and future development. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Funding for the playgrounds will need to be included within the Capital Improvement Plan. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Meet changing needs - agile. Responsible for every dollar - good stewards. Opportunity to live, work, and <br />play. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1. Interactive Elk River Park Map 2024_202402091023111102 <br />2.
