The FY 2026-2027 budget adopted on June 3, 2026 includes two large parks projects: a $5,000,000 Bike Park and $4,000,000 for Evans Park, along with several smaller equipment purchases for parks and trails (field drag machine, Ventrac mower, trucks and equipment for trails). The Capital Projects Fund shows a dedicated Harmony Ridge Bike Park line receiving $3,500,000 and a $1,500,000 Park Grant, plus substantial park impact fee appropriations and park development lines, indicating a multi-source funding strategy for new recreational amenities and open space improvements. These projects are in the capital plan but no design teams or contractors are listed, implying Mapleton is at the concept and funding stage.This creates opportunities for parks planners, landscape architects, civil engineers, trail and bike-park specialists, playground vendors, and general contractors to help the Parks and Recreation Director refine the program, secure grant compliance, and prepare biddable plans for construction of the bike park, Evans Park, and supporting amenities.

Park funding sources include annexation fees, park impact fees, and grants; the scale suggests a regional amenity that may require environmental review, traffic/parking planning, and public engagement.
