Parks and Recreation Annual Report 2022-2023

an equity and inclusion assessment as part of our planning process. We evaluated park access for socially vulnerable groups and how much the City has invested in different geographic areas. This analysis will help guide us where and when we invest resources. The plan recommends $80+ million in facilities to be built over the course of a decade. It recommends replacing Peeler, Warnersville, and Lindley pools, renovating locker rooms, and adding additional interactive water play features. It recommends adding more spray features

to Barber and Keeley Park spraygrounds and building new spraygrounds at Brown Community Park and Hester Park. Griffin Community Park and a piece of City property on Short Farm Road are recommended for new aquatics facilities as well. Windsor pool will be replaced with an indoor aquatic center located at the new Windsor-Chavis Nocho Community Complex. We are just at the beginning of this process. Expect to hear more about funding alternatives and site-specific plans in the coming years.
