Renovation of a playground / park / athletic field in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a playground / park / athletic field.

These improvements would upgrade many facets of the public areas and BGPR's ability to serve the public. FY2024 1) Renovate the Lampkin Park maintenance building with new siding, interior ceiling replacement, interior door replacement, bathroom upgrades, updated electrical service, and new paint. Estimated cost = $115,000 2) Connect current asphalt trail. An asphalt trail was added to Lampkin Park in 2018. This allows a safe place for neighbors to walk on the way within the neighborhood (the trails connect to streets and serve a sidewalk). However, Lampkin Park neighbors and the public would benefit from connecting those trails within the park so that a user can begin and end a run/walk/bike ride without leaving the park. This will aide in the City's community health. Estimated cost = $15,000 3) Replace Lampkin Park maintenance building's roof. The roof on this facility has consistent leaks and is in need of replacement. Estimated cost = $15,000 4) Connect Lampkin Park maintenance's bathroom to Lampkin Park sewer at public restrooms. Lampkin Park maintenance's bathrooms are on a septic tank. The issue has become so bad that bathrooms cannot be used. BGPR wishes to construct a sewer connection from the maintenance shop with a pump that runs to the public bathrooms. Estimated cost = $20,000 5) Renovate Lampkin Park Fields #1 & #2 bathrooms. BGPR will gut the building and renovate interior with new tile, bathroom partitions, paint, bathroom fixtures, and lighting. Estimated Cost = $200,000 Additional improvements will be made in FY2026, including: 1) Add LED lighting. BGPR has committed to the "reintroduction" of this park to the public. BGPR has renovated/added: a turf soccer field, spray park, asphalt walking trail, and playground. As a result, public usage has significantly increased. LED lighting will aide security and general park usage. Estimated cost = $210,000 2) Replace Fields #1 & #2 irrigation system. The present system is past its useful life and no longer works. BGPR will replace with a new system designed for sports fields. Estimated Cost = $50,000 3) Renovate Fields #1 & #2 scorebox and storage. Replace shelving, renovate scrorebox, and paint. Estimated Cost = $10,000 The project is include in the city's 2024-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
