TOWN OF BURGAW PARKS AND RECREATION Splash Pad Master Plan
resurfacing the trail, we aim to enhance the overall experience for users while prioritizing their safety and well-being. This initiative aligns with our commitment to providing accessible and well-maintained outdoor spaces that promote active lifestyles and community engagement. The repaved Osgood Canal Urban Trail & Greenway will continue to serve as a vital asset for recreation, transportation, and leisure, enriching the quality of life for residents of Burgaw and beyond. Land Acquisition…………………………………………………………………………………. $TBD Land acquisition to expand the park system and accommodate new amenities requested by residents and visitors. Currently, there are no available Town-owned properties suitable for developing new facilities or parks. Without acquiring new land, the Parks Department is unable to implement the desired features outlined in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan as requested by the community. By purchasing additional land, Burgaw aims to enhance its park system, address the growing recreational needs of its residents, and improve overall quality of life. This initiative reflects the town's commitment to providing accessible and diverse outdoor spaces that promote health, wellness, and community engagement. Acquiring new property will enable Burgaw to fulfill its long-term vision for the development and expansion of its parks, ensuring that they remain vibrant, inclusive, and well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of the community for generations to come. No cost is available at this time. LED Lighting at Tennis Courts…………………………………………………………………. $12,000 This project includes the replacement of existing lighting at the tennis courts with energy-efficient LED lighting, which will improve overall illumination and reduce glare around the playing surface. LED lighting not only enhances visibility for players but also offers significant energy savings compared to traditional bulbs. By switching to LED, Burgaw aims to lower energy consumption and operating costs associated with maintaining the tennis court lighting. Additionally, LED technology offers long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement of bulbs. Overall, this project aligns with Burgaw's commitment to sustainability and providing high-quality recreational facilities for its residents. Upgrading to LED lighting at the tennis courts will enhance player experience, promote energy efficiency, and contribute to the town's efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. Pickleball Court…………………………………………………………………………………. $30,000 Proposes to install a new pickleball court at W. Ross Harrell Memorial Park in response to resident requests and the growing popularity of the sport. Pickleball, a fast-growing activity, has been identified as a desired addition to the town's recreational offerings through the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. With sufficient space available at the park, there is an opportunity to accommodate one pickleball court to meet current demand. However, should the need for additional courts arise in the future, the Town may need to explore options for acquiring additional land to accommodate further expansion. By introducing a pickleball court at W. Ross Harrell Memorial Park, Burgaw aims to enhance recreational opportunities for residents of all ages and abilities. This project reflects the town's commitment to providing diverse and inclusive recreational amenities that promote active and healthy lifestyles within the community.
