These <br /> were developed as a result of neighborhood requests for additional park amenities other than <br /> the full-court basketball court. As part of the 2002 Capital Improvements Budget,the City <br /> Council approved an expenditure of$25,000 for playground equipment and other <br /> improvements to Fresno Park. <br /> The subcommittee assigned to review the budget items and their timing suggests that an <br /> alternative plan be considered that would lessen the duplication of equipment in parks that <br /> are in close proximity to each other and reduce the overall expenditure for equipment at <br /> Fresno Park. <br /> Review of Options <br /> Option A <br /> Option A included a set of swings,a preschool structure(for kids under 5 years old), <br /> a play booster structure(for kids 5- 12),and spring riders. This option proposed to <br /> include all the equipment within a rectangular-shaped play area with radius corners. <br /> The estimate for this option totaled $20,935 on September 27th. <br />
