| | | | | | | | | 2. | CURRENT ACTIVITY
| | | The City of Oakland Park's voters by a vote of more than 2-1 approved a $40 million general obligation bond for the replacement and/or renovation of certain City-owned facilities and other improvements. On August 7, 2019, the City Commission approved moving forward with plans for the future library location to be at Collins Community Center area (City Park) and on September 9, 2019, the Commission approved the award of master planning services for City Park to Zyscovich Architects for the City Park area. Part of the information that was incorporated, and considered, in the master plan was the continuity of all City properties directly surrounding the City Park site which includes both the future site for Fire Station 9, Stevens Field, and the Richard E. Guisti Heart Par Cours Park.
The Richard E. Guisti Heart Par Cours Park, located at 600 NE 38 Street, currently offers a one (1) mile long exercise path with workout stations. In an effort to create continuity within the City Park complex, the City Commission approved the submission of the 46th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) on March 18, 2020. On July 2, 2020 the grant was awarded for improvements to the Richard E. Guisti Heart Par Cours Park. Additionally, on April 7, 2021, the City Commission approved the submission of the 47th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for the construction of additional amenities and improvements at Giusti Park. To meet the grant milestones and the ultimate deadline for completion, the City requested a proposal from Miller Legg & Associates, Inc. to provide necessary design services which includes a site survey and schematic designs for a possible dog park and parking improvements.
