South Acres Park
About the Park
South Acres Park is largely utilized for sports, including baseball, softball, pickleball, basketball, and horseshoes. However, the Park also includes some amenities for passive recreation, such as picnicking areas. The Park is surrounded by residential and commercial uses as well as two cemeteries. Located between South Catherine St and South Peru St, South Acres Park experiences heavy traffic along both the eastern and western boundaries.

Phases
First Round Design and Bid
First Round of Projects for South Acres Park:
- Restoration of and improvements to restrooms in the Barn Building
- Design of 6’ wide walking path around the park’s perimeter
- Resurfacing work on the pickleball court
How Projects Were Determined:
After the public comment period for the Parks Master Plan was over, City staff determined which projects would be prioritized for each park based on:
- The state of the current park infrastructure
- Community desire
- Available funding
Funding allocations to individual parks varied based on the above considerations but every effort was made to ensure an equitable distribution of funding across all five parks. This list encompasses only the first round of improvements the City plans to make to our parks and several dozen additional projects are included in the Parks Master Plan.
The Community Development and Planning staff are compiling a list of potential grant funding sources to help fund the remaining Parks Renewal projects. All of the required design work for the park improvements will be completed in 2023 with an anticipated construction date starting in 2024. Future improvements are expected to be funded through borrowing, general fund spending, and grants.
