Report Overview
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) has decided not to purchase a
property originally designated for an elementary school along the west side of Rickard
Neighbourhood Park. This will result in a parking deficiency for the park.
The purpose of this report is to recommend approval of expenditures to construct a parking lot
at Rickard Neighbourhood Park.
1 . Background
Construction of Rickard Neighbourhood Park in the Foster Creek subdivision commenced
in fall 2015 and is expected to be completed later this spring. The total project value
approved by Council during the award of the tender was $560,193, including a 10%
contingency allowance and net HST.
Rickard Neighbourhood Park was designed in 2015 anticipating that the land along its
west side would be developed as a KPRDSB elementary school. That land was
designated as a school in the Neighbourhood Design Plan and on the approved Draft
Plan for the subdivision. The KPRDSB was negotiating with the subdivision developer to
acquire the site.
When neighbourhood parks are located next to schools the municipality generally does
not build a parking lot within the park because there is an opportunity to utilize the parking
lot on the school site. This saves the municipality the capital and maintenance costs for a
parking lot and does not take up green space within the park for a parking lot. Peak
demand for parking at neighbourhood parks is generally in the evening when
programmed sports are scheduled and when the school parking lot is not being used.
Engineering Services was informed earlier this year that the KPRDSB has declined their
option to purchase the site next to the park and have decided to acquire a school site
further west in the Foster Creek Neighbourhood. The former school site will now be
developed as residential.
2. Proposal
Rickard Neighbourhood Park will have a full size soccer field, playground, and water play
area. It is expected that people will drive to the park for programmed soccer league play
and to use the water play area. A parking lot will be needed to minimize on-street parking.
Rather than purchase additional land on the former school site for the proposed parking
lot, Engineering Department staff have designed a 23 car lot located within the park along
its south edge (attachment 1). The contractor building the park, Orin Contractors, has
provided quote of$72,541 including net HST to construct the parking lot. Staff's estimate
for the work was approx. $89,000 including net HST. Engineering Services is
recommending that the work be done by the park contractor as a change order to Rickard
Neighbourhood Park Contract No. CL2015-14 with financing from the following sources;

Report EGD-XXX-16 Page 3
-$11,060 from Foster Creek Neighbourhood Park 110-32-325-83317-7401
-$31,000 from South Courtice Arena Parking Expansion110-32-325-83405-7401
-$30,481 from the Development Charges Park reserve fund
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance who concurs with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
A parking lot is required at Rickard Neighbourhood Park because it contains a full size
soccer field that will be programed for league play, and a water play area. Both of these
features will attract visitors who will drive to the park. A designated lot within the park is
necessary to minimize parking on the streets surrounding the park.
5. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.
