Recommendations:

That the Parks & Recreation Department be authorized to hire a
consultant to:

1. Design an overall conceptual plan of Lions Park, to include:
a) Waterpark and costing.
b) Traffic re-alignment through park and costing.

Ze That the cost not exceed $1,000 and that the monies be taken
from the Parks Unallocated aceount.

Background & Comments:

Lions Park is the main community park for the City of Port
Coquitlam. During the past four years the park has been develop-~
ing rapidly. The main area of development has been with
playground equipment.

Another project for the park which the committee will inelude in
the C.I.P. is the addition of a waterpark. Waterparks have, over
the past few years, become very popular in the Lower Mainland.

By installing a waterpark, this amenity would enhance the park to
become an area where families would spend the day - water has
always been a great attraction for children.

Presently Lions Park is well used by the residents and it is
essential at this time that a logical development of the park be
put in place. Another area of concern has been one of safety;
the road which presently dissects the park in two, needs to be
realigned. Also the parking needs to be redesigned.
