The City of Troy Board of Park Commissioners met on October 6, 2026. The board approved the August 17 meeting minutes and received department updates. For the aquatic park project, contractors were preparing to begin demolition and construction after bidding and award delays; the target is to reopen for the 2027 summer season. The golf-course irrigation project is expected to go out to bid in October, with bids anticipated in early to mid-November. No vendor names or contract amounts were provided for either project.

The board conditionally approved a turf-field project covering the four fields at Duke Park and the varsity baseball and softball fields at North Market Street, subject to outside funding and final approval of recognition arrangements. Staff proposed doing North Market first this fall and delaying Duke Park until approximately September 2027, after needed fence and dugout improvements, to reduce scheduling risks and avoid disturbing new turf. The project is expected to be privately funded; the discussion distinguished this arrangement from sponsorship agreements, which would trigger formal bidding and prevailing-wage requirements under the cited policy. No specific funding amount was confirmed. The irrigation bid and conditional turf approval were the meeting’s main procurement-related actions.
