Improvement Projects

Since 2018, the District has been working hard to put the 2017 mill levy proceeds to excellent use by improving existing parks and facilities. The improvement projects proposed to be accomplished, starting in the year 2018, were outlined as part of the 2017 mill levy election.

In 2021, without raising taxes, proceeds from the 2020 mill levy continuation will support the Vision 2030 Master Plan, which features improvements recommended as part of a public process throughout the District that will focus on:

  • Maintaining, conserving and improving parks, open spaces, and natural areas throughout the District;
  • Improving, connecting and extending recreational trails for walkers, hikers, and bikers;
  • Providing and improving existing active recreation opportunities, programs and facilities for all residents, including seniors, families and children;
  • Enhancing water conservation and energy efficiency by replacing or improving aging systems.

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.
