Public Meeting for Bartlett Park Plan

The city is planning to make improvements to Bartlett Park, including the replacement of recently removed children’s play equipment and the proposed implementation of a basketball court. 

The city will hold a public workshop from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6 in the Common Council Chambers, City Hall, Third Floor.

The city has retained LaBella Associates through a competitive request for proposal process to assist with the park’s revitalization. Specifically, LaBella and the city’s project team will prepare construction drawings for the proposed features at the park and will also include new signage, a water fountain, electrical hookups for small events and limited lighting.

After gaining feedback from the adjacent residents and the public, LaBella will prepare Construction Plans. The purpose of the June 6 public workshop is to present initial findings and solicit input toward the final plan and construction drawings. The city intends to initiate the improvements in the fall.
