Proposed improvements to Sunshine Drive Park include a half (1/2) court basketball court, nature-themed playground, including swings with a poured-in-place (PIP) surfacing, walkway/trail with dog waste stations, benches, and a butterfly bike rack. Proposed improvements at Donaldson Park include outdoor exercise equipment, floating dock with kayak launch area, walkway, shaded seating area, outdoor game area, and a butterfly bike rack.
