Tiburon moved a step closer to upgrading the former sanitation ponds site and three neighborhood mini parks, with a town commission selecting two design firms to create plans for potential amenities including beach-volleyball courts and new swings.
The Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission on Sept. 30 unanimously recommended the Town Council hire Mill Valley-based RHAA Landscape Architecture and Planning for the former ponds site near McKegney Green and nearby Belveron Mini Park. It also recommended Santa Rosa-based Carlile Macy Inc. to do the same for Cypress Hollow Park and the Bel Aire play area.
The total design costs are estimated to reach at least $500,000, $289,712 for RHAA and $209,838 for Carlile Macy. The scope of work for both includes creating a conceptual and final design and developing community-engagement plans. Any actual construction would need to be vetted and approved by both the parks commission and Town Council, with opportunities for public comment.
The council is tentatively set to vote on the recommendation at its Oct. 15 meeting.
