*Your Tax Dollars At Work*

👏 L & J Development has started on the Fox Park parking expansion project! 🚗 The expansion of 2 rows of parking to the south will be completed first and allowed to cure. 🌳 Then the current parking will be demolished and widened to a double row. 🚙 Once complete, there will be 53 parking spaces (3 ADA) compared to 20 spaces today. 🙌

*Your Tax Dollars At Work*

🙌 Coming this spring - a vast improvement to Fox Park. 🌳In two phases to minimize disruption, this project will take us from 20 parking spaces to 53 parking spaces, creating two rows and extending southward toward the pavilion. 🚗 With increased activity following renovations in recent years and more to come, we are planning this to handle parking needs for the next generation(s). 👏

🌲 We committed to significant investment in neighborhood parks in our current 10 year sales tax renewal and we are continuing to deliver. 🙋‍♂️ We on staff are park users also, so we know the challenges of parking during peak times! 🌳

👉 We look forward to working with L & J Development on this project!

👉 Thank you to Devin Snodgrass (Outline & Associates) for developing the designs!

☃️ The Moberly Parks and Recreation crew has been busy as usual clearing park roads, trails, and parking lots. 👏 The priority is always roads and trails, with the goal of having the trails initially open within the first 24 hours as we know you enjoy them year-round! ❄️

☃️ The crew will stay on it as the snowfall continues. 🙌 THANK YOU to the MPRD crew members taking time away from families so everyone can safely enjoy the parks! ❄️
