ROCK SPRINGS — The Rock Springs City Council will review a request from the Rock Springs Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to allow residents in the Foothill Crossing Subdivision an active role in the construction of a neighborhood park.

The Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday, June 2, at 7 p.m. at City Hall. During the meeting, the Council will review a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

The board is recommending the Council allow residents in the Foothill Crossing Subdivision to “take an active part in the future construction of a neighborhood park adjacent to their homes,” according to memo from Parks and Recreation Board President Bill Legerski.

“This participation would include donating funds for the project, allowing residents some consideration in the design of the park and giving consideration to volunteer assistance in improving the park once a design in chosen,” the memo states.

After reviewing the information, Council will decide whether or not to support the recommendation.
