Public Hearing on Eagle Scout Park Final Design & Budget Amendment Scheduled for November 10, 2016

At its regular meeting at 7:00pm on Thursday, November 10, 2016, the Lake Forest Park City Council is holding a public hearing on a proposal to redevelop Eagle Scout Park (an active-use park across from Pfingst Animal Acres Park on NE 178th Street). The proposal includes a playground, low-maintenance landscaping, irrigation, safety fencing around the park with a staggered entrance, benches, and a drinking fountain.

The project will be partially funded by a waste-reduction grant (purchase of playground equipment). The remaining project funding is proposed to come from the Capital Improvement Fund, provided the project is included in the adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). To satisfy the requirement of inclusion in the CIP, an ordinance is proposed to update the 2016 CIP to include the Eagle Scout Park Playground Construction project.

The public is invited to attend the meeting and offer comments on the proposal. The meeting begins at 7:00pm and is held in the Council Chambers (2nd floor) of Lake Forest Park City Hall, 17425 Ballinger Way NE.
