Summary <br />Replace the cracked concrete pavement, tables, and barbeques at Bonaire Park picnic areas. <br />Description <br />Demolish and install new concrete pads for all six picnic areas in park. Area may need to be graded and drainage <br />installed to resolve existing problems with standing water from irrigation runoff. Site amenities on each of the picnic <br />areas includes new concrete picnic tables, new barbeques sized to fit the needs of the picnic (small to medium sized). <br />The two smaller picnic areas (north of the playground) require a pathway leading to the picnic area and a shade <br />structure.
