Overview
Peacock Gap Park is a popular community park in the City. It offers playgrounds, shaded bench areas, two tennis courts, playing field, and walking trails.
The Library and Recreation Department allocated measure A funds to replace the existing play structures and improve accessibility around the park. The City has engaged a consultant to facilitate design, and will later advertise the project to solicit bids from contractors to construct.
Community Input
City plans to have a pop-up Outreach Event and Ice Cream Social at Peacock Gap Park Saturday, June 22 from 1-3pm. The event will provide the community an opportunity to provide feedback and help guide the design of the play area. A community input survey will also be distributed around to allow residents to provide feedback if they can’t make the outreach event. The input will be incorporated into the final design plans that will be presented to the Park and Recreation Commission in July 2024.
