Service-Blake Soccer Complex Renovations

The Service Blake Soccer Complex has been home to Edmond’s soccer programs for decades. With growing needs and an aging site, renovations were identified as a need for the complex. Early in the design phase, infrastructure improvements were identified as the number one need. The project includes demolition of the northwest concession/bathroom building, the maintenance buildings, and the southwest concession/bathroom building. We will replace each concession/bathroom building with new larger buildings with matching architecture, at similar locations. The new building will have modern features and allow for better customer service for the patrons needing concessions. The northwest building will also have offices and a larger conference room for coaches and/or tournament meetings. Also, the entrances will be beautified, and we will add a drop off lane for better traffic flow. Once complete this complex will be a standout among others, drawing high level tournaments and offering great league play.

Splash Pad, Play Structure, and Accessibility Improvements at Ted Anderson Park

In 2015, the Capital Improvement Advisory Task Force (Task Force) provided recommendations to City Council regarding capital improvements to be constructed by sales tax funds in the event that the half-cent sales tax that funded the Public Safety Center was extended. It was extended by a vote of the public in April 2016. One of the projects recommended to City Council, by the Task Force, was "Expand and Improved Park System with increased splash pad facilities".

Staff evaluated existing park properties to determine the suggested location of Ted Anderson Park. Staff based this suggestion on criteria such as, distribution of swimming pool construction permits, available space, proximity to a suitable water supply, and sanitary sewer capacity.

 The project includes construction of a splashpad, restroom, and planting of additional trees. Additionally, the contract includes repairing and replacing existing sidewalks throughout the park to improve safety and accessibility of the space.

As a companion to this project, the entire play structure is being remodeled. The remodel will provide a new play structure and safety surfacing. Synthetic turf will replace the woodchips that were previously used for safety surfacing.

Total Cost: $1,088,706.00 for the Splashpad, restroom and accessibility improvements. $175,716.00 for the playground updates.
