FISCAL IMPACT: The Frontier Park Fitness Element is funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars as part of the 2012 -2013 Capital Improvement Program. The final cost of the project was $76,309.47. BACKGROUND: Over the last several years the area around the handball walls at Frontier Park (1400 Mitchell Avenue) has seen an increase in illicit activities, thus making the park less desirable for local residents. To address this issue and make the park more useable for the surrounding community, the idea of changing the facility to encourage healthier activities was identified. Outdoor fitness equipment provides a suitable option that can be easily installed with a minimum amount of impact on the park. This type of equipment offers options for various upper and lower body exercises utilizing the users own body weight as resistance. A total of fourteen (14) different fitness pieces will be installed as well as an instructional sign. Examples of the proposed equipment are attached.
