History
On August 21, 2023, the Committee of the Whole approved the conceptual plan for Doogan Park (attached).
The plan includes ten pickleball courts, a pavilion with restrooms adjacent to the courts, a sledding hill, re-grading of the soccer field to accommodate a full-size field, adding and repairing a bocce ball court, expansion of parking lots, a playground, pavilion, site furnishings and planting improvements. Additionally, the project includes infrastructure for lighting the pickleball courts in the future.
Village capital budget funded elements totaling an estimate $986,000 include the pickleball courts and a 74 space parking lot as shown in the concept.
Future Village operational funded improvements totaling an estimated $861,000 include a playground, pavilion, half-basketball court, asphalt trail, expansion of the north parking lot, site furnishing and planting improvements. Funds from Public Work Natural Resources and Facilities will be earmarked for the playground and pavilion. The half-basketball court would be funded from Recreation and Parks' Athletics Division operating funds.
Pickleball lighting and wind screens, estimated at $340,000 will be funded by future capital or Village operational funds from PW, NRF or Recreation and Parks.
An RFP will be issued later this year for construction and engineering documents which are budgeted in 2024.
