Community Services Commission Regular Meeting - April 8, 2026

The City of Lake Forest Community Services Commission held a regular meeting on April 8, 2026, focusing primarily on updates and plans for community recreation programs and facilities. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of a strategic business plan and capital improvement plan for the Etnne Skatepark renovation. The city awarded a design agreement to Action Sports Design to develop conceptual plans incorporating community feedback, aiming to modernize the skatepark with more beginner-friendly features, a pump track, and multi-use terrain for BMX, scooters, and inline skaters. The estimated cost for the skatepark renovation is approximately $2.1 million, including a 15% contingency for inflation. The project will proceed to a subsequent procurement phase for final design and construction contracting. Additionally, the commission reviewed usage statistics and rental occupancy rates for the performing arts center, noting increased internal and external use, and discussed community recreation events and facility improvements. No formal votes on procurement contracts were recorded during this meeting, but the skatepark design and capital improvement plans represent significant upcoming procurement and capital projects for the city.
