Sibley Lake Park – Dog Park Update <br /> <br /> Commissioner Gibbons reported that he had spoken with Sheridan Wilson <br />and she had received two quotes for fencing. Miss Wilson plans to attend <br />the next City Council meeting to provide the Council with information. <br /> <br />5. Splash Park Update <br /> <br /> Commissioner Nagel stated he needs to obtain accurate cost information <br />for a bathroom. The Splash Park cannot be located in front of Snap <br />Fitness as there is not sufficient room; it could possibly be located further <br />west. Research would need to be done for water and wastewater lines <br />and right-of-way. <br /> <br /> People have commented that a Splash Park would be helpful establishing <br />Pequot as a destination. Princeton and Royalton both have them and <br />Princeton stated it was the single best thing they had done. Water <br />conservation is clearly important and can be accomplished with push <br />buttons on timers. Royalton has push buttons on each segment rather <br />than having water run all the time. Playground facilities could be placed <br />adjacent to the Splash Park. Grants could help with the costs along with <br />private donations.
