Sullivan Parks Disc Golf Course improvements. <br />The source of funds for the project is Fund 354, Program 096 (CIP-3) <br />All related construction, permitting, contingency and taxes are estimated at $150,000. <br /> <br />Project summary statement: <br />The City of Everett Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan, adopted in 2022, <br />identifies the development of trails and outdoor recreation activities as two of the top <br />opportunities that will benefit park users. <br />Located in Thornton A. Sullivan Park, the current Disc Golf Course was designed and <br />installed in 2010, much of it through volunteer engagement. Since then, the popularity <br />of disc golf has risen exponentially nationally and locally—according to user group data, <br />the T.A. Sullivan course experienced a nearly 400 percent increase in use during COVID. <br />The sport is popular with people of all ages and abilities and attracts users regionally and <br />locally. The course is cared for in part by active local disc golf clubs. This project is two- <br />pronged: <br />1) Improvement to the existing nine-hole course. Improvements to course play include <br />replacing tee-boxes and baskets, improved wayfinding, awareness (particularly for <br />other park and trail users through the park) and rules signage. These improvements <br />will promote a better experience for all park users and enhance the disc golf course <br />experience, and safety, for players. <br />2) The first expansion of the course since its inception. Parks will introduce new disc <br />golf within the underutilized seven-acre portion of T.A. Sullivan park to the west of <br />Silver Lake Drive. Activating this area of the park and expanding disc golf <br />opportunities have been long-held Park’s Department and community goals. <br /> <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt an Ordinance creating a Special Improvement Project entitled “Thornton A. <br />Sullivan Park Disc Golf Course Improvements Project”, Fund 354, Program 096 to <br />accumulate all costs for the project in the amount of $150,000. <br />
