INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Carl G. Young Senior Park is a neighborhood park that provides a range of amenities for residents, including
a playground, basketball court, park furnishings, splashpad, and restroom facilities. The first phase of the
splashpad was completed in May 2018.
On March 1, 2022, City Council adopted the Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan (PRTSM),
which serves as a vital framework for the future planning of the Parks and Recreation Department. The
PRTSM emphasizes the importance of enhancing and expanding the existing splashpad at Carl Young Sr.
Park and recommends the addition of more interactive features. Furthermore, both the community and City
Council have expressed the desire for an expanded splashpad. Hence, at the start of the current fiscal year,
City Council allocated funding from the American Rescue Plan Act for several Park Projects, among them
being Phase 2 of the Carl Young Sr. Splashpad.
To ensure timely completion construction will begin in the fall of 2023 with an anticipated opening for the
2024 summer season.
