Questions from Jim
11111
1. Can we have a firm estimate of what the specs and costs would be to put in a
sidewalk at Lions park from the curb to the pavilion? This is needed for the board
to reach out to the Lions club and others for donations (materials, labor and
money) to finalize this project. Tom feels that he may have some
volunteer/donations available to get this project done. It would be a good first
step for the board to show it can help get projects done.
2. As we were driving around Lucy Park recently my wife asked what plan we have
to replace the beautiful large, old trees in the park. I said I know we used to have
a 'tree farm' located at the park but I am no longer sure what the city's plans are.
Could you update the board on a 10 -20 year plan for tree replacement. The past.
10 years have shown what bad weather, droughts and ice, can do to our older
trees. Also as we drove on the west side of the park, near the Camp Fire
property, we noticed the 'garden beds' were not used very much this past year.
What are those beds used for?

Based on current 2023 bid prices, 5' sidewalks are running about $60 a linear
foot. A loop sidewalk would be a nice addition to the park. I have divided it into
different areas and shown current cost.
A new small playground w/border and surfacing is about $60,000.
#2 Trees and Beds
Let's address the "garden beds" near the Camp Fire property first. In the past we
used those beds to trial various flowers. In recent years we have used them to
plant any extra flowers that we have left after the 2 major color change plantings
that we do in May and October. Each season we experience about a 10% loss of
flowers due to theft. If we have the right flowers in the reserve beds, we can
transplant them back and fill in the gaps left by the flower thieves.
Regarding tree replacement. There could be a need to establish a new tree
nursery to take care of replacement trees and to supply trees only to new project
areas. It's really the only affordable way to do it, especially since the price of
nursery trees has skyrocketed in the last few years.
In 2022 we paid $150 each for some 1" caliper trees about 4 ft tall. Normally we
would never try to plant a tree that was less than 2" in caliper. 2" inch trees are
scarce in the nursery trade right now due to the great demand for replacement
trees all across Texas. A 3" caliper tree could easily cost $500 or more. Plus
there is not a very wide selection of tree species and varieties available.
When we were heavily into growing our own trees and transplanting them
ourselves we calculated that it only cost us about $10 per tree from liner to
planted 2" caliper tree. We planted over 14,000 trees out of our nurseries from
1995 to 2013. To purchase that many trees, even wholesale, would cost over 4
million dollars.
IF WE WANTED TO START UP A NEW NURSERY
Long term, we probably do need to start another tree nursery. They could have
trees ready to transplant in 3 to 5 years. If the nursery produces more trees than
are needed in any one year, the extras could be dug and auctioned off to local
vendors.
Money, Machines and Manpower
New equipment would have to be purchased. A new skid loader runs about
$65,000±, our old "Care Tree" spades are worn out and obsolete. We have gotten
a price on a new "Optimal model 1100" tree spade. It would cost about $25,000
(plus freight). We estimate that we still have about 200 trees in the LucyLand tree
41110 nursery that could be transplanted with the Optimal spade. It will transplant up to
a 5" caliper tree. That's about $60,000 worth of trees if we had to buy them. If we
were to use the money we have budgeted for replacement trees this year to
purchase the spade, we could transplant many of the nursery trees into Lucy
Park and other areas as needed. If we use the $25,000 to purchase replacement
trees, we could only get less than 100 trees.
Keep in mind, a tree nursery is a lot like a garden. Weeds need to be removed,
grass needs to be mowed and all those baby trees need lots of extra care the first
couple of years until they get some growth. Harvest time requires skill to run
machines and doing the ball and burlap process on the ground, loading and
planting the trees properly.
We would not try to replant any tree liners in the Lucy Land nursery because of
the tremendous deer pressure there. The ideal spot would be in the area east of
the Flyover between the Kell East and West "access roads". And only with TXDOT
approval. There is already water in that area and the deer would not dare venture
that far into town. Vandalism and theft would also be less. Tree liners can be
bought for about $3.00 each.

INTERIM PARK SIGNAGE — PARK BOARD 2023 GOALS
RECOMMENED WAY AHEAD — GOAL # 1
PARK BOARD, JANUARY 26, 2023
New Park signage was #1 priority for the park board.
Park funding increased significantly in the FY 23 budget. $200K was allocated for a professional
parks and recreation consultant. CFW Council is hesitant to fund large items (play sets) that may
be obsolete, depending on the Parks & Rec Consultant Review recommendations,
The Park Board recommends an evaluation of current Park signage and way finder signage listing
Park info. The board also recommends, to the CWF Council, that some items such as broken and
eroding park name signs be replaced in FY 23. These old signs send the message that the CWF does
not care about parks. The Park signage requirement should run currently with the ADA Curb to
Playset and metal play equipment refurbish projects. Below are supportive comments relative to
the park board's prioritized sign replacement.
1. Sign replacement priority is based on sign condition, high traffic location, & neighborhood.
Goal is to eventually replace all park signs with standard, inviting, functional & modern signage.
2. Most signs are made of wood & sited at park entrances- most are aged, many are broken.
3. Several have been replaced with new, smaller signs. The board does not consider these metal
signs a permanent solution.
4. The long-term park signage replacement requirement is expensive and may have to wait. Way
ahead:
a. Relook way finder signs on Southwest Parkway (281 to Kell Blvd./82)
b. Relook way finder signs on Martin Luther King Blvd.
c. Relook way finder signage on Midwestern Parkway.
d. Relook way finder signage in area of MLK Center (Smith St, Homes & Tulsa).
e. Relook Jalonick Park- a sprawling park adjacent to Sunnyside Multipurpose Center.

PARKS ADA ACCESS — PARK BOARDS GOALS 2023
RECOMMENDED WAY AHEAD — GOAL # 2
CWF PARK BOARD, JANUARY 26, 2023
ADA access to Parks is Park Board goal # 2.
Park funding was significantly increased in the FY 23 budget including $200K for a professional
parks and recreation consultant review. That given, CWF council appears hesitant to fund Park
upgrade projects until a new Parks Master Plan is published. Like the Park Signage and Play
equipment refurbishment projects, the Park Board recommends that key, high priority projects
be funded this fiscal year.
It is unlikely the funded Park Review will recommend closing any of the Parks on the Board's
2023 prioritized ADA list.
ADA access is a legal and moral obligation of the city. Limited funding should not be an
acceptable excuse for not developing a prioritized, multi-year, prioritized list for the installation
of these "curb to playset" walks. The Park Board recommends not delaying funding and
starting the process before another three to five years go by without our wheelchair and/or
handicapped patrons having access to CWF Parks. This requirement should run concurrently
with the Park Signage and Play Equipment Refurbish projects.
2.2.1 Accessibility
Special consideration should be given to providing accessible
surfaces(i.e., hard surface walkways) in a play area that meets the ASTM Stamford
Specrf icotion for Determination of Accessibility of Surface Systems
Under and Around Playground Equipment,ASTM F1951.
Equipment selection, placement and type of protective surfacing are key components to
ensuring children and accompanying adults with disabilities have the opportunity for children
with disabilities to access and use play the playground.
Suggested way ahead:
1. Develop a prioritized list of Parks lacking "curb to playset" walks.
2. CWF staff provide specifications and estimated costs to install walks.
3. CWF consider a multi-year contract to install the walkways.
4. Use this data to seek donors for ADA compliance and other Park requirements.

REFURBISH PLAY EQUIPMENT - PARK BOARD 2023 GOALS
RECOMMENDED WAY AHEAD — GOAL # 3
PARK BOARD, JANUARY 26, 2023
Refurbishing metal play equipment is Park Board priority# 3.
Metal play equipment, slides, roundabouts, swings etc. were the vogue in the 70's and 80's.
This was before plastics allowed many variations and colors.
18 Parks have 30+year old metal play equipment. One staffer remarked that "he played on
them when he was a kid."
Today they are unsafe, the metal surfaces burn children's skin and rough edges and protruding
hardware gouge them.
Most are drab. Today's Park equipment is colorful and inviting. Parents complain to Board
members that they will not let their children play on this equipment. The Park Board's 2022
Park Review Report addresses this problem in depth. While some citizens have nostalgic
memories of this equipment, the Park Board recommends the CWF pursue a multi-year
contract to refurbish the metal play equipment. Refurbishing with industrial grade paint for the
typical "mini park" costs between $2000 & $5000.
The CWF funded (2023) a Parks & Recreation review by a consulting firm. This could take two
to three years for completion of the review, allocating funds and letting contracts. The Park
Board recommends starting the process before another three to five years passes without
improving the appearance of our Parks with bright, colorful and safe play equipment. This
requirement should be carried out currently with the interim Park Signage replacement project.
The suggested way ahead is to:
1. Park Board develop a prioritized list of Parks with the old play equipment. The Park
Board's 2022 Park Review Report contains detailed information on this equipment.
2. Ask the CWF staff to provide specifications and estimated costs to remove or
refurbish the metal play equipment..
3. Recommend CWF consider a multi-year contract for this project.
4. Following Park Board goals and recommendations, use this data to utilize Board
members, news media and social media to solicit donor support for this and other
Park requirements.
BUILD PICKLE BALL COURTS - PARK BOARD 2023 GOALS
RECOMMENDED WAY AHEAD — GOAL# 4
PARK BOARD, JANUARY 26, 2023
Expanding the Pickle Ball program is Park Board Goal #4.
During the time the Board was developing its 2023 goals, the recreation department made
significant progress in expanding this fast-developing national sport.
The recent Park Board survey revealed a 3.7 (of 5) positive rating. The Board supports the
Pickle Ball program and outstanding results in keeping up with this trending national sport.
At this time no further Park Board recommendations are necessary. Keep up the great work!
PARK BOARD DONOR PROGRAM - PARK BOARD 2023 GOALS
RECOMMENDED WAY AHEAD — GOAL # 5
PARK BOARD, JANUARY 26, 2023
Developing a Park Board Donor program is Park Board Goal # 5.
This goal received a 3.7 (of 5) on the Board Member Survey. The results indicate that the Board
sees the need and supports it.
Currently, the Board is in the research mode for the Donor Program.
Recommended way ahead.
1. Ask Board Members to volunteer to serve on the Donor Program committee.
2. Develop the process for the program.
3. Identify potential donors.
4. Develop a marketing plan for the program.
PARK EQUIPMENT FOLLOW UP VISITS
MARCH 17, 2023
Tom Taylor visited 10Parks on March 16, 2023, to determine if there had been changes relative
to the old, metal play sets. Below are his comments.
loch Lamond: Has a Way Finder sign. Old bleachers have been removed. Backstop ok. Much
more attractive Park.
Edgemere: Replace Park name sign. Drab metal playsets and sign detract from an otherwise
very attractive and functional Park.
Hamilton: B/B court very nice. Has handicap access. Drab metal playsets detract from an
otherwise outstanding Park.
Bel Air: Attractive Mini Park. Backstop in good shape but no diamond, remove it? People
playing tennis on the tennis/pickle ball court.
Kiwanis: Another sponsored outstanding Park. Drab swing set seems out of place.
Hurst: Appears unused. Drab metal equipment. No handicapped access. Need to evaluate
keeping this space as a Park. Sign?
Williams: Another Park with drab metal playsets and outdated Park name sign: custom sign is
aged and has graffiti. Very nice baseball field: bleachers, back stop and dugout are very good.
Nice pavilion, playset and B/B court.
Spudder: Nice park but, vagrant hangout. Way Finder sign, Good access. Good B/B diamond,
dugout and bleachers.
Lions: No handicap access. Bridge plank repaired. Several more are aging, will need
replacement in the future. Railing needs painting. Drab metal play equipment. Tennis court
appears abandoned —court surface is usable - could be relined for Pickle ball.
Expressway Village: Park has handicap access, disk golf. Drab metal play equipment, decaying
wooden pavilion structure. Lovely fountain visible from Missile Road. Has concrete path
around fountain with several benches but, no pathway to the seating. Has new, interim metal
sign.
Lamar: Has handicap access to nice Pavilion and nice play set. Good wood sign.
Bridwell: Handicap access to playset, grill, benches and other side of Park. Way Finder sign.
Abandoned B/Ball and V/Ball courts. Nice, large pavilion. Good for entertainment but home to
homeless (they were using electricity.
(Tom Taylor, Park Board Member, 18 Mar
Y 2023)
Scotland: Did you know this Park was a Zoo? Lion's Club and others instrumental in making it
happen. Very nice, well used large Park. Handicap access to play set, grills and pavilion.
Concrete path meanders through the Park. Wooden bridge planks replaced. Stone bridge by
playset has trip hazard at both ends. Old bridge on 144 bridge replaced with concrete bridge
with metal railing. Small pavilion on top hill removed. (What is planned to replace it?) Some
Park benches have broken or rotting wooden parts.

Will visit other Parks in the next few weeks. Parks showing beautiful Spring colors.

PARK REVIEW REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS UPDATE
The Parks Board submitted its Parks Review Report to CWF Council and Staff in January 2022. Since then
several of the Report's recommendations have been acted upon. Importantly, the CWF Council allocated
$200,000.00 for a Park Consultant firm to develop a CWF "Parks Master Plan." A "Master Plan" is a critical
element of grant request packages.
This Update recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of the Park staff and Parks Board. Since the Parks
Review Report was presented to Staff and Council, several new "playsets" and other Park amenities have been
donated by local civic groups and the CWF budget funded another.
This Update is formatted to record progress on nine of the original 22 recommendations. Six of the nine are
directly related to the Park Board 2023 Goals. The information provides the recommendation, reference, status
and suggested way ahead.
