# Long Beach Park Board August 25, 2026

The Long Beach Park Board meeting held on August 25, 2026, focused primarily on ongoing and upcoming capital improvement projects and maintenance activities related to local parks and recreational facilities. Key procurement-related discussions included advancing the tennis and pickleball court replacement project by moving forward with RVI to obtain vendor quotes for construction, contingent on staying within the approved budget. The board also discussed pursuing a $50,000 matching crowdfunding grant from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) to support the project. Additionally, the board reviewed quotes for power washing Melrose Park at an estimated cost of $3,500 to $4,000, which was approved within the existing budget. Other procurement topics included selecting options for replacing wooden swings at Melrose Park, with a preference for a simpler, cost-effective model around $2,800, and addressing the replacement of damaged stop signs, which may be funded by the town council. The board emphasized the need for clear policies regarding resident modifications to town property, such as benches at beach stops, to ensure consistent approval processes. No formal votes were taken on the swing or sign replacements during this meeting, but motions were passed to proceed with the tennis court project design phase and to approve maintenance expenditures within budget. Overall, the meeting highlighted active project planning, vendor engagement, and budget management to maintain and improve park infrastructure.
