Summary <br />This is a portion of the Chabot Park Master Plan; the project replaces and upgrades two existing playgrounds with <br />new equipment and relocates the amphitheater. <br />Description <br />This project is a portion of the Chabot Park Master Plan Project, project #2003.0160. Replace and upgrade two <br />existing playgrounds with new equipment and locate the new playground where the current amphitheater is located, <br />adjacent to the picnic area. Demolish the current amphitheater and place a new one in natural setting in the <br />redwoods adjacent to and behind the restrooms. The play equipment will be updated, expanded, and located so that <br />adults can keep an eye on the children while at play. The new amphitheater will be located in a setting that uses the <br />redwood trees as a natural background for the stage, providing an aesthetically pleasing experience. <br />Justification or Benefit of Project <br />Parks provide a neighborhood gathering place, creating a sense of community; provide open spaces; and provide a <br />place for children to play, create, grow and imagine. The project will maintain the same rustic look and theme but <br />improve the condition and safety of the play equipment and offer enhanced recreational experiences in the <br />playground and amphitheater. <br />Consequences of not doing the Project <br />Without this project inadequate and out of date play equipment will remain, underserving the patrons at the park. <br />Safety will remain a concern. The park could fall into disrepair and become unattractive to those that want a fun, safe <br />park. <br />Project Numb 2005.0010Project Typ Parks and Open Space <br />Status Active <br />Department/Sponsor Recreation & Human Servic <br />Impact to Operation Cost Neutral Impact to Maintenance Cost Increase <br />Likely Cost <br />Categor Parks and Open Space <br />Possible Funding Sources <br />Detailed Cost $1,777,692 <br />Council District 1 <br />Project Name Chabot Park Playground and Amphitheater
