Parks Board 3.11.2026

The City of Lawrence Indiana Parks Board meeting held on March 11, 2026, covered various operational updates and upcoming events related to city parks and recreational facilities. Key procurement-related discussions included maintenance and repair quotes for the pickleball courts, with two bids presented: one from HSC Paving at $38,000 and another from Lesie at $41,171. The board discussed the scope of work, including crack filling, resurfacing, and drainage improvements, and ultimately supported awarding the contract to Lesie. Additionally, the board approved a motion to grant VFW Post 7119 use of two pickleball courts for a summer league at a specified rate. Other topics included restroom upgrades at community parks, lighting improvements, and environmental initiatives involving urban forestry and trail development, though no specific contract awards were noted for these. The meeting also touched on budget considerations for fuel and electricity costs and coordination with other city departments for ongoing projects.
