In 2025, staff propose hiring a planning/engineering firm to assess the Plunkett Park baseball promenade ($45,000), including developing plans, cost estimates, and specifications for improvements. Overall, it needs upgrading due to deteriorating amenities and paving, including the picnic area, bleacher areas, approach paths, and field entrances. The current landscape has become a detriment to the paving as the roots of the surrounding trees are coming up through the pavement causing it to be uneven and shade is at a premium in these areas. Staff propose funding this project with General Fund reserves.
