VIII. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE <br />The following table depicts the project priorities with suggested completion dates. It is important <br />to note that the following schedule is intended to be a flexible guide for the development of parks <br />and recreational facilities over the next ten years for the City of Paris. The city should evaluate <br />and take advantage of any unforseen opportunities that may arise that are not identified in the <br />schedule or change the order of implementation if necessary. The information below is <br />organized based specif needs from the City of Paris citizens. The general idea is create one great <br />and easily accessible park in each of the quadrants of the city. This will allow all residents the <br />opportunity to recreate at a large redeveloped park within the community. The four specific <br />parks, Wade Park, Leon Park, Oak Park and Dragon Park were chosen based on location within <br />the city, size and community use. <br />Beyond the plans ten year time- frame: <br />As is true of city planning in general - of which parks, recreation and open spaces planning is a <br />component - this implementation schedule should be evaluated, modified as necessary and <br />updated to address ten -year periods that begin after 2013. The Texas Parks and Wildlife <br />Department suggests ten -year plans should be updated every five years, however, the City of <br />Paris should review the plan annually in order to have a current, meaningful and implementable <br />plan. This will aid the Paris park system to: continually work to achieve the park plans Goals <br />and Objectives; allow this plan to remain current with other City of Paris planning efforts; serve <br />to address on -going financial needs; address parks needs in conjunction with future population <br />growth and keep the users, citizens and businesses continually aware of the city's commitment <br />to achieve and maintain an outstanding parks, recreation and open space system and program. <br />WF,44_5 <br />City of Paris Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 2013 -2023 <br />Page 38 <br />Project <br />Date <br />Estimated <br />Cost* <br />Potential Funding <br />Source <br />1 <br />Renovate and update Wade Park <br />2014 <br />$500,000 <br />TPWD <br />- New playgrounds <br />General Fund <br />- Open lawn areas <br />Private Donations <br />- Sprayground (recycle water for <br />General Obligation Bond <br />irrigation <br />- Walking trail <br />-Site amenities <br />WF,44_5 <br />City of Paris Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan 2013 -2023 <br />Page 38 <br />
