<br />7. Restroom Facilities <br />Presently, there are public restroom facilities only at two parks. The City rents portable toilets during the <br />summer months which costs $8,000 to $10,000 per year. Permanent vandal resistant restrooms should be <br />built that meet accessibility standards for the handicapped. They should be lockable, well lighted and of <br />course well maintained. Vandal resistant lighting is also a must. Because they are so susceptible to <br />vandalism, restrooms should be built in high use parks such as Culbertson, Oak, and Record. Generally, these <br />are the parks where reservations are made for large groups and restrooms could be unlocked. The smaller <br />neighborhood parks may not need these facilities. <br /> <br />Estimated Cost ..........................................................................................$50,000 - $70,000 per park <br /> <br />8. Land AClluisition <br />As the city expands, it will need to add parks and recreation land through dedication or purchase. In <br />particular, areas which should be looked at include east of Loop 286 and west of286 near the U.S. Highway <br />82 corridor. Inside the Loop, the City should begin dialoge with Paris ISD regarding a possible neighborhood <br />park on the corner of the Crockett Middle School Campus since this area is not within the service area of an <br />existing neighborhood park. <br /> <br />Estimated Cost ..... ........................ ... ... ...... ... ...... ... .... ....... .... .... ... .............. ........... ............ ... ..$30,000 <br /> <br />NOTE: Costs are preliminary estimates only and prepared without the benefit of detailed engineering data.
