Supplemental Information – distributed 1/13/23
Subject
School District Beecher Park Parking Lot Proposal
Background
As part of the growing partnership between the Yorkville School District and the City’s Parks &
Recreation Department, the two entities are constantly discussing opportunities to work together
on projects for the betterment of Yorkville residents. Over the last year, the School District and
P&R Department have worked together on the following:
1) New preschool rooms and location.
2) Storywalk at Junior Women’s Park.
3) Sharing of equipment.
4) Cooperating on concrete and playground projects.
Recently, the school district presented the attached proposal for the City and School District on
expanding parking option within the Beecher Park area. While the City and School District
are still working on the details of the proposal, in general the School District hopes to
add permanent, paved parking on the north side of the football field. For that to occur,
the P&R department would have to move two t-ball practice fields to the East of the
park. A picture is attached of the proposed, expand parking opportunity at Beecher
Park.
Recommendation
This is an informational item.
