Sgt. Timothy M. Mossbrucker Park

Completed: September 2025, opening to the public mid-late September 2025

Community Outreach: This project has been community-focused from the very beginning. Planning staff partnered with third graders at Mt. Carbon Elementary to help design the playground and more than 500 community members and students voted in a playground survey to pick the playground. The winning design was presented back to the student designers, the school and shared with the broader community, ensuring that the project truly reflects the voices of those who will use the space.

On playground build day, we were joined by a group of volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members of the Foothills Foundation also contributed their time and energy, alongside other community volunteers helping with additional projects around the park.

History: Mossbrucker Park was dedicated in honor of Sgt Timothy M. Mossbrucker who was killed in the line of duty in 1995. The park name was officially adopted on March 26, 1996.

Community Outreach:

  • Virtual Community Meeting was held via Zoom on Wednesday, March 24, 2021.
  • During previous engagements with the community, the concrete apron that borders sections of Lakehurst Park has been a primary topic of discussion.  Due to some complicated ownership issues, Foothills is not able to remove or repair the existing concrete apron.  In summary, the concrete apron is partially on Foothills property and partially on the property of each residence that backs up to the park.  The portion of concrete apron on private property is not owned or managed by Foothills, but rather, is owned by over 50 private homeowners. While Foothills remains committed to engaging with the neighborhood about the future of the concrete apron, it is an issue that will likely take a longer amount of time to resolve.  With this in mind, Foothills plans to move forward with improvements to Lakehurst Park in 2024.
  • A community survey was provided April 1-15, 2022 to provide project background information and obtain community input.
  • An open house for Lakehurst Park Improvements was held June 1, 2022 to share survey results and seek input on concept plans developed from the results of the community survey.
  • A community survey was provided August 12-26, 2022 to obtain community selection on a final concept plan.
