Project Summary Navarre Park is one of more heavily used parks in the City of Orono. It s located near a major intersection in the Navarre Neighborhood, a mix of businesses and single-family houses. As the most densely populated area in Orono, the neighborhood is the home to many children who use the park facilities routinely. The park currently has a small half-court basketball court, playground structure, swings, and an open field. City of Orono will be removing the small half-court basketball count and replacing it with a multi-sport court. The primary motivation is to replace the basketball court that is in disrepair and replace it with a half-court basketball facility that is regulation dimensions and structurally sound. It s difficult to play basketball on the existing court as the dimensions are only 20 x 31. While basketball will likely be the game most frequently placed on the court, the City of Orono plans the new facility to accommodate other sports such as volleyball, pickleball, and badminton. The new multisport court will be 28 x 45 and it will have all the necessary painted lines so the facility can easily be reconfigured for all these sports. The City of Orono is excited to offer the community a new pickleball court. While this is a fast-growing sport, the city does not currently offer pickleball in any other Orono park. Another motivating factor is that the location of the existing basketball court violates the city s setback restrictions. The existing court is only 10 from the property line to the north. While the existing court is grandfathered in and is not violating any laws, the City of Orono is choosing to be proactive by removing the court in order to adhere to their own city building code. The new court will be moved approximately 20 and will be at least 30 from the property line to the north. 3

Improving Conditions As the pictures show, the existing half-court basketball court in Navarre Park is in need of repair. The surface is cracked. And, the small size of the court inhibits the use of the court. The exisitng court is the remains of a garage floor and sits very close to the property line and neighboring residential properties. However, the basketball hoop is in good condition and can be reused with a new court. Environmental Impact The environmental impact of the project is expected to be minimal. Surface water runoff will increase slightly due to the expansion of impervious court surface area from 620 sq. ft. to 1,269 sq. ft. However, the placement of the court into the middle of the grassy portion of the park will allow for the run off to be absorbed into the ground. 8
