PARK DEVELOPMENTThe CSD follows a 10 step process to plan, design, and construct park projects. On average, it requires 2 years and 3 months to complete a small park project, 3 years and 6 months for larger projects. Depending on the project, these timelines can vary. For more, view the CSD Park Planning Process.

PARK CONSTRUCTIONThe CSD solicits bids and contracts for park construction projects. Click here for more information.

BIKE PARKThe CSD Board recommended locating a bike park at Elk Grove Regional Park after evaluating numerous site alternatives. The County of Sacramento Recreation Commission has also approved the bike park location. Click here to view the report which recommended Elk Grove Regional Park as the best site.

The next step is consent approval by the County Board of Supervisors in late March. Once that occurs, the CSD will proceed with design workshops in April and May to create a master plan. Check this web page on March 26 for more details on design workshop dates.

Tentative dates for construction are late fall 2010/spring 2011, with the bike park opening in summer 2011.

Questions and comments on this project should be directed to Fred Bremerman, Management Analyst, (916) 405-5305, or FredBremerman@csdparks.com.

Van Doren Park Extension

Van Doren is located on Neponset Drive in East Elk Grove. The CSD thanks the residents who attended the design workshops. Staff evaluated suggestions and incorporated ideas into a final design of the park. Please view the Conceptual Master Plan below.

Park Site B - Sheldon Place

This 1.6 acre park is located on Toad Hollow and Hawley Way in the Elk Grove/West Vineyard area. The CSD thanks the residents who attended the design workshops. Please view the Conceptual Master Plan below.

Property ownners in the Elk Grove West Vineyard Park Assessment District voted down the proposed assessment increase by a 2-to-1 margin, with 66% opposed and 34% in support. The proposed assessment was $89 per each single family equivalency unit, which would have generated $544,000 for L&L Zone 3 – Elk Grove West Vineyard.

To balance the FY 2009-2010 budget, reductions are necessary. Although construction funding is available to build Sheldon Place Park, no maintenance funding is available; therefore, construction of the park will be delayed indefinitely.

Jordan Family Park (formerly Vista Creek)

This 1.7-acre park site is located at Jordan Ranch Rd. and Didorwill Ct. in Eastern Elk Grove. Two workshops were held and community input was taken to create the design. The CSD Planning Division prepared the conceptual plan based on citizen input and CSD Board direction and presented it to the community on September 25, 2008.

This project is now in Step 7, Bid and Award of Contract, of the park planning process. Via a ballot measure, the residents of the Vista Creek Subdivision established the Vista Creek Park Assessment District, a Subzone within Zone 3 (Elk Grove West Vineyard Landscape and Lighting Benefit Zone) in March 2009. This Assessment District will provide adequate funds for park maintenance when the park is complete.
