SKATE PARK DESCRIPTION: This project is for the design and construction of a permanent skate park for Los Altos youth. The City operated a temporary skate park facility in the Hillview Community Center parking lot during the summers from 1996 through 2003. Since 2003, the temporary park has not been operated due to disrepair and outdated features. The Youth Commission recommended the equipment be replaced with a permanent year-round concrete park of approximately 5,000 square feet and located north of the Youth Center in the Civic Center or another location to be determined. The scope of this project includes the hiring of a landscape architect experienced in skate park design to facilitate site selection, cost estimating, park design workshops, design, construction documentation, and construction administration services. Design considerations include but are not limited to location, size, type, hours of operation, bathrooms, drinking fountain, maintenance storage, construction cost, operation cost, degree of difficulty, target population, noise, security, neighborhood impacts and mitigation. COST SUMMARY: Design and Construction $ 382,000 POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: Park In-Lieu Fees $ 382,000 IMPACT ON ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION COSTS: $3,000/year ALTERNATIVES: Utilize other construction materials and formats such as the powder coated steel modular equipment.
