During the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council approved the Phase 1 improvements to Coyote Ridge Park. These improvements, estimated to cost nearly $4,000,000, focus on improvements in three main areas:
- Accessibility and Mobility Improvements
- Provide assessable walk connections to existing shade structures
- Replacement of one picnic table under existing shade structure to be ADA compliant
- Provide assessable walks between the north and south sides of the drainage between the playground and ballfield parking lot
- Possibility of adding a plaza and pollinator garden
- Addition of a new pedestrian connection to the community
- Addition of bike racks adjacent to existing playgrounds and shade shelters
- Provide improved maintenance access along the north side of the playground to the multipurpose field
- Playground Improvements
- Replace existing play area equipment, creating an updated all-inclusive play area for all ages
- Create age-separated play areas for 2–5-year-olds and 5–12-year-olds
- Replace play area surfacing with more inclusive poured-in-play surfacing or synthetic turf
- Fencing at the Basketball Court
- Provide fencing at the edge of the existing basketball court to minimize the balls going into the drainage area
Next Steps
Following the City Council’s approval of these improvements, City staff will now work with a consultant to finalize construction drawings and design for the Phase 1 improvements. Improvements are anticipated to begin in mid-2025 and be completed by early 2026. View the City Council meeting presentation for more information on the proposed Phase 1 improvements. The timing of future phased improvements to Coyote Ridge Park will be determined by recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and approval by the City Council.
