From the meeting
In the September 8, 2026 parks report, staff said they were working with GameTime on a playground equipment grant that offers a 100% match on qualifying equipment. Staff also said they were exploring additional private funding that could allow a complete revamp of playground equipment at Patrick Park and Lee Park. No award had been made yet, so this is still a funding and planning opportunity.
A vendor conversation would center on eligible equipment packages and grant-ready pricing.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
