Initial Community Input: Upland Design will develop one of two surveys for the City to

Survey #1: Prior to the development of playground design options, Upland will create a
survey to assess how residents currently use the existing playground,as well as to rank and
prioritize which amenities residents would like to see in the new playground design.
Concept Planning:Based on feedback received from community Survey#1,Upland will prepare
multiple playground equipment concepts(at least 6) for review with City Staff. A line-item cost
estimate for each playground concept will be developed. The location of the playground will
