City plans a new 10 acre park on a 29 acre site near Overland Drive and Wakarusa Drive in northwest Lawrence. A design concept includes a unique exercise trail as part of the development led by city planners.
Derek Rogers of Lawrence Parks and Recreation notes the map of possibilities for city parks ranges from expanded trails to new facilities. He highlights gaps in funding, maintenance capacity, and community input as key barriers to realizing ambitious plans.
Journal World uncovers that city reports mis-stated budgets in 2017, masking about 550000 dollars in extra sales and use tax revenue that year. Early months showed budgets inflated by 1.1 million, later months by 560 thousand, making year-end charts appear 380 thousand under budget.
