Fred Richard Golf Course was closed in 2014 and a Park Master Plan was created and approved in 2017 with public input. A 2022 referendum allocated 17.7 million of Local Option Sales Tax revenue to the development and implementation of the approved plans. Project budget is inclusive of design, construction, and any additional contingency, permits, or soft costs. Park design resumed in 2023 and is finishing up design development, facility design will start in 2025. This plan maximized the entire 43.5 acres of land by balancing nature and ecology with recreational activities and community health. The project goals are restore natures role, create play and healthy pathways, and invite the whole community. These goals apply to all aspects of the project including design and construction. Today, the park includes; a neighborhood playground on the west side, Parks and Recreational Storage, the former Clubhouse facility, Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, and Utility Infrastructure including 2 well heads, a water treatment plant, and underground recycling tank. The existing critical utilities and natural resources will require protection plans and disturbance mitigation. Mitigation is needed for neighbors, business owners, park patrons, and Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail users. The new Fred Richards Park includes a large nature area, destination playground, biking and walking trails, Pickleball courts, open space, and numerous other active and passive recreational activities. To accommodate users the addition of a trailhead and restroom facility, park programming space, and food and beverage service are requested. This facility will be designed by OPN (AE) and incorporate and aesthetically tie in existing structures and accommodate new service requests. Additional parking and civil infrastructure will be provided by Confluence (LA) and design team and be coordinated with selected firm.
