Barnhardt Park Spray Pad project
We are doing some repair patch work to the surface of the spray pad at Barnhardt Park this year,
however the entire spay facility needs an overhaul. It's been 14 years since that area was installed. I am
recommending a complete new electronic control board for the water, an entire new rubberized surface
and new water features.
Estimated costs: A quote for $6,000 was received from Palotta for the new sprinkler control board.
A quote for $70,000 was received from Playground Medic to do a complete removal
and new install of the rubberized surfacing.
New aquatic recreation equipment from Vortex (current equipment company) and
Installation is estimated at $50,000
The estimated cost of this project would be $126,000
