Discussion:

Staff worked with Scott County on the development of the sport and yoga court in Scenic Heights Park because of its central location and access to the Vierling Greenway Trail.  

 

Lisa Brodsky, Public Health Director for Scott County, was able to submit and receive the $50,000 grant from the non-profit that is developing the courts nationwide and also raised an additional $90,000 from funders including:

 

Scott County $25,000

UCare Foundation $25,000

HealthPartners $25,000

Statewide Health Improvement Partnership $10,000

WGH Foundation $  5,000

 

The city has already installed the concrete pad for the courts and the equipment and wall will be installed in Spring 2024.  The city is already in receipt of these funds.  The city has budgeted $100,000 in additional funds to complete the Court out of Park Development Funds.
