Parks and Recreation Director Bob Donahay told commissioners. “We’re ready to go.”
While the 1.2-acre site, which is across Main Street east of the Lakeland Fire Department, had been intended to be a retention pond, only a small corner retains moisture, he said.
Construction can begin soon, he said. Funding would include $100,000 from the pending land sale to Beck’s company if approved, and $50,000 from impact fees, he said.
The $150,000 to build the park is far less than the $400,000 estimated for an earlier dog park proposed for the land east of The Joinery. The utilities under the earlier site drove costs up, Donahay said.
