Subject: Prairie Lake Park Conceptual Plan Modifications.
Background Summary:
A conceptual plan for Prairie Lake Park, which is located south along Hackney Prairie Road and east of Clarke
Road and lying between the Remington Oaks and Westchester developments, was presented to the City
Commission in 2005 identifying various facilities that could be included in this park. Since the original concept
for the park was presented, the City has obtained a Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program
(FRDAP) grant to assist with the development of the site. The Parks and Recreation Department has been
working to refine the conceptual plan and develop construction plans to proceed the development the park.
The Parks and Recreation Department is recommending modifications to the original conceptual plan for phase
two that include:
. eliminating the expansion to the existing parking lot, and in its place develop a paved loop drive to
the lake for a non-motorized boat launch that will accommodate current park users;
. eliminate the paved drive and additional parking within the natural area, and in its place develop
natural trails with picnic sites;
. develop a half-court sized basketball court to provide recreational opportunities for neighborhood
youth;
. construct the restroom and eliminate the ranger facility.
The Park and Recreation Advisory Board at its meeting on February 16th discussed these modifications and have
recommended to the City Commission that the modifications be approved.
