# 10.13.2026 - 2026 City of Oroville Parks Commission

The City of Oroville Parks Commission’s regular meeting was held October 14, 2026. The Public Works Director reported that the city is not inclined to purchase the property containing the historic pomelo tree; preserving it may instead involve acquisition by the G family or an agreement with the property owner. For Bedrock Park, the project is in construction-document and permitting work, including environmental approvals for work near the island and lagoon. The director has applied for $33,000 in supplemental funding for initial environmental work and plans to seek a follow-on state grant, due December 17. Community input and outreach are being gathered to support that application. No spending vote was taken; the commission is expected to review the grant input at its December meeting.

The commission also received an informational update on the Hewitt Park mosaic mural. The Arts Commission selected an artist through an RFP process, and community members are expected to help create the mosaics. Funding has not yet been appropriated, and the project is expected to go to the City Council for consideration; no cost was stated. The Arts Commission has exhausted its current funds. A request to reserve recurring morning time for open pickleball play was withdrawn, leaving courts available under the existing reservation and first-come, first-served arrangements. No procurement award or other spending action was approved at this meeting.
