2013 RECREATION, PARK, and OPEN SPACE ... - Titusville City Hall

Recommendations

Info

• 2 tennis courts • BMX track • Parking lots • Queen City Trail • Oil Creek Recommendations Like Burgess Park, The Ed Myer Recreation Complex is recommended to be one of the City’s primary parks receiving a top focus on maintenance and upgrades. The focus should be on maintenance, rehabilitation, and sustainability. A detailed maintenance plan should be developed and administered to ensure long-term sustainability of the park. A more detailed description of recommendations is located in Chapter 4 of this report. Robert’s Grove Description Covering a full city block, Roberts Grove is a large neighborhood park located in the northeast section of the city. The majestic oak trees found throughout the park are its most striking feature. The park attracts many users of all ages for mostly passive recreation opportunities. While the trees and the extensive trail system are a large part of the beauty of the park, both require significant maintenance. The other significant issue with the park is that it is not ADA compliant. Some attempts have been made to bring it into compliance but deficiencies will need to be addressed. Facilities • Basketball court • Youth basketball court and hard surface play area • Concession stand • Exercise trail with fitness equipment • Playgrounds • Grassy play areas Recommendations The most significant recommendation for this park is to modify, upgrade, and rehabilitate individual facilities so as to reduce the amount of maintenance needed at the park. This could include: • Development and implementation of a systematic plan to maintain this as one of the City’s top parks • Removal of the wood chip pathways between various pieces of play equipment • Elimination of the seldom used fitness stations • Application of herbicides to control unwanted grass and weeds near trees, play equipment, sign posts, etc. Additional recommendations can be found in chapter 4 of this report. 16
Scheide Park Description Located in the center of town, Scheide is an attractive centerpiece for the City. The large oak and maple trees, shade, park benches and gazebo invite residents and visitors alike to sit and enjoy the quiet beauty of the City. The park is an ideal location for the concerts and festivals held throughout the summer and fall seasons. As the outdoor showpiece of the downtowns area, Scheide Park is well maintained and cared for. Facilities • Bandstand/gazebo • Benches • Lighted walkways • Drinking fountain Recommendations • Continue to maintain this park as a focal point of the community • Upgrade the drinking fountain • Ensure all facilities comply with current ADA standards CyTemp Ballfield Description • Located across the street from Burgess park • Used almost exclusively by the Little League • Facilities are not ADA compliant Facilities • Baseball field • Press box • Dugouts Recommendations • Replace fencing and backstop • Upgrade the infield • Improve drainage O’Rourke/Waterworks Ballfield Description • Located near the eastern most point of the City off of Route 8 • No fences; both opposing outfields blend together in center field.
