Lebanon Park Board October 14, 2026

The City of Lebanon, Missouri Park Board met on October 14, 2026, to review park finances, projects, and upcoming improvements. Members approved a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 for replacing the park shelter, with staff to seek design options within that amount. The board also approved a not-to-exceed $15,000 for fencing to create a small-dog area beside the existing dog park. Staff reported that the completed parking lot is receiving positive feedback and that the pickleball and basketball improvements totaled about $94,000; the concession stand, restrooms, bleachers, and shade structures came in under $500,000. The board discussed future project estimates, including dog-park work, shelters, a splash pad, playground improvements, and trail expansion, and favored prioritizing projects rather than spreading funds across multiple sites.

Staff reported selecting American Ramp Company for the skate-park project and expects preliminary designs in the coming weeks; the roughly $100,000 project remains in planning, with community and board input still to come. The city is considering using its own construction contract for dirt work to avoid the contractor’s equipment mobilization costs and stretch the project budget. Staff also discussed dividing the Nelson fields’ irrigation system for under $10,000, but no approval was recorded. No other procurement awards were finalized in the transcript.
