Request for CPA funds for improvements to help modernize Groff Park and make it more user friendly. Town staff worked with Berkshire Design Group to develop preliminary cost estimates to construct a new splash park, playground and pavilion at Groff Park and complete capital improvements to the existing pavilion. The project cost for the modernization project-spray park, playground and pavilion- is approximately $1m. At this time, the priority is to remove the wading pool and replace it with a spray park, add an accessible pathway to this amenity and make improvements to the existing pavilion with a new roof and structural supports. The Town is applying for CPA funds for design of the modernization project, construction of the spray park and associated amenities and a PARC Grant will be submitted in July 2016 to implement the new playground and pavilion. The Town’s DPW will provide in-kind contribution of labor and water and electrical work and will help oversee the project. The CPA request is necessary to complete the update of the spray park whether or not the Town receives a PARC Grant because the wading pool is failing.
