Several yeas ago, a park planning consultant prepared a report detailing the improvements needed to improve both safety and access at each of the four subject parks.

Proposed improvements include regrading and resurfacing the walkway to provide an accessible path to new picnic tables, bench and bicycle rack; installing curbing around the play area and providing proper drainage; and installing new lighting and an informational sign. The estimated cost of this project is $22,100. Hickory Meadows: This 1f3 acre park is comprised of a wood and metal composite play structure. Proposed improvements include installing a new multifunctional play structure; regarding and resurfacing the walkway to provide an accessible path to the new play structure, picnic tables, bench and bicycle rack; and replacing the existing fence around the play area. The estimated cost of this project is $54,700. Lynbrook: This 4.1 acre park is comprised of two metal and wood play structures an attached rotating swing structure, and a stand-alone swing set. In addition, large open grassy areas are used for softball/baseball and soccer games. Proposed improvements include installing a new play structure, rotating swing, and swing set; installing a new walkway across the park; installing accessible picnic tables, BBQ and drinking fountain; installing new trees at the picnic area; and installing new lighting. The estimated cost of this project is $93,850. Because of its size and central location, Lynbrook serves as a community park facility as contemplated in the County General Plan. Users come from throughout the Bay Point area. Consequently, Park Dedication funds from other census tracts will help finance the improvements at Lynbrook Park. View Point: This 113 acre park is comprised of a wood and metal play structure. Proposed improvements include installing a new play structure and picnic table/bench; constructing an accessible path to the play equipment; installing a bicycle rack and new lighting.

All of the proposed improvements are consistent with the use of park dedication fees for renovation and improvement pursuant to Division 920 Park Dedication of the County Zoning Ordinance. In addition to the Park Dedication funds, $65,000 in Prop. 12 funds will be used to help finance the improvements to the parks.
