Park Projects

• Located within the Twelve Bridges community, bordered by Bella Breeze Drive, Cabra Street, and a nature preserve.
• The park master plan was approved and adopted in March 2024. The ultimate park concept and phasing information can be viewed on the project page linked below.

Bella Breeze Park Master Plan

• Located within the Lincoln Crossing neighborhood, adjacent to Scott M. Leaman Elementary School.
• Contract for design services was awarded January 2022.
• Online survey for the park masterplan conducted Spring 2022. Thank you for your participation!
• Design Concepts were approved by the Park & Recreation Committee on September 7, 2022. 

• Biological survey of the park site was performed and a need for environmental permits was identified. On March 14, 2023, City Council approved additional environmental services to obtain PCCP/CARP (Western Placer County Aquatic Resources Program) approvals and to address CEQA requirements for Henry Rood Park. The scope of services includes biological surveys, studies, coordination with PCCP and preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum that is required for PCCP approval.

• As of June 2024, the Certificate of Authorization has been received from the PCCP. 
• Staff is working with the design consultant to finalize plans before releasing for bid. We anticipate the bid opening in mid-August 2024. 

Jimenez Park Phase 3

• Located within the Lincoln Crossing neighborhood, bordered by Groveland Lane and Ferrari Ranch Road.
• Phase 3 improvements will include a lighted soccer field, minor concrete work such as curb and sidewalk, drainage facilities and pocket picnic trellis, as well as parking lot improvements.
• As of July 10, the contractor has completed all underground utility work and has begun paving the parking lot. Sports light poles are being raised and will be installed in the coming weeks, along with some landscaping. We anticipate installing the soccer field sod in the coming month. This work does require a full park closure, which went into effect on June 4. The aerial images below show the progress made to date.

• Due to the construction of parking lot improvements, the existing gravel parking lot is closed, eliminating the safe and accessible pathway to all park amenities. Parking lot construction and park closure began June 4 and is anticipated through November 2024. A map showing the parking lot construction area is below.

  

• Construction updates will be announced on the front page of the City’s website under Newsroom and Notices.

Independence Parks

• 4 Parks and 1 Active Recreation Field to be located within subdivision off of Nicolaus Road and Waverly Drive.
• Lot D Park conceptual illustration was presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee on September 1, 2021. 
• Design Concepts for Lot A, B, and C Parks were presented to the Parks & Recreation Committee on August 17, 2022. 
• The design concepts do not necessarily reflect the layout and amenities approved for construction. 

Park Construction Status

• Park D (Vasion Park) was accepted at the July 23, 2024 City Council meeting. 
• Park A (Eadie Park) is working through final repairs and adjustments before preparing the Notice of Completion. Park B (Busey Park) & Park C (Sandstad Park) are still in construction and will be in 90-day landscape establishment period through the summer.
• After the final landscape walk and any necessary repairs/replacements are completed, staff will work with developer to prepare Notices of Completion (NOC) for Council approval. Parks will be open to the public after NOC's are accepted by City Council.
