02192026 PRCS Commission Meeting

The San Bernardino Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission held a meeting on April 13, 2026, focusing primarily on updates and discussions related to the city's park master plan and capital improvement projects (CIPs). The meeting included a detailed presentation by a consultant from Next Practice Partners on the 10-year park master plan, which incorporated community input gathered primarily in 2023, park assessments, and GIS mapping to identify service gaps and priorities. Commissioners discussed the timing and relevance of the survey data, integration with the city’s general plan, and the need for ongoing community engagement. Updates were provided on several CIP projects, including Nicholson Park, Second Lake Park expansion, Spiker Park improvements, and L Creek Park restroom and community center renovations. The commission also addressed operational topics such as permitting for profit activities in parks, vendor contracts for holiday decorations, and potential modifications to park amenities to accommodate a new fire station. Motions were made to discuss meeting time changes and improve agenda distribution practices. No new contract awards or RFPs were announced, but the discussion highlighted ongoing procurement activities related to park construction and maintenance projects.
