The city's park system is currently comprised of 53 existing neighborhood parks. Many of these parks are in excess of 20-30 years old. It is important to the quality of life in Chandler that existing parks are maintained and kept updated. This program allows the Community Services Department the ability to provide the public an equitable distribution of neighborhood park improvements throughout the city by renovating neighborhood park amenities such as playgrounds, sport courts, irrigation, ramadas, and landscaping. FY 2024-25 projects include but are not limited to improvements at the following neighborhood parks: Los Altos Park, Pine Shadows Park, Fox Crossing Park, Windmills West Park, and the installation of swing/slide wear mats at approximately 20 playgrounds. Additionally, $200,000 will be used to improve the Goodyear Canal which was recently granted historic preservation landmark distinction. This funding will allow for beautification projects to occur at the canal entrance with historic signage and artwork to enhance the historic area. Funding has been included in FY 2029-30, FY 2030-31, and FY 2031-32 for the renovation of three neighborhood parks. As of September 5, 2024, this project is included in the City of Chandler's FY 2025-2034 CIP. Funded for construction in FY2025-2034. A construction timeline has not been identified yet. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
