The council received an update regarding the Doubletree Ranch Park splash pad surfacing. Discussions focused on the failure of the existing surface due to delamination and debonding, and the supply chain issues preventing the installation of the recommended chlorine-resistant replacement binder. Staff recommended waiting for the optimal binder or switching to a standard binder by Memorial Day 2023. Additionally, the council debated the installation of protective fencing to prevent unauthorized use by skateboarders and cyclists, which has contributed to surface damage, including considerations of liability, ordinance enforcement, and aesthetic compatibility with existing park infrastructure.
