Canopy (shade) structure replacement within North Community Park

The Parks and Recreation Department has over 30 canopy structures at our major parks that are utilized for patron shading and provide some safety around baseball/softball wheel fields. Many of these canopy structures are over 20 years old and have begun to deteriorate and corrode due to use, sustaining damage due to weather and sun exposure, abuse from park patrons, and the integrity of the metal and wood are being compromised. Parks staff recently had the canopy structures inspected by the City’s Engineering Department at North Community Park and it was concluded that 6 of the 8 structures will need to be taken down for safety reasons. Replacement of these canopy structures will ensure proper functionality and safety for city patron enjoyment.
