PROJECT NARRATIVE • • • • • 1. NEED FOR ASSISTANCE - The proposed project is in accord with the following Arkansas SCORP priorities: NATURAL RESOURCES Natural Areas --The project preserves and enhances a natural area that is surrounded by urban development. This will promote natural diversity and provide a green island within the fabric of the City of Fayetteville. Streams - The project will allow for the preservation of Mud Creek which diagonally dissects the site. If the park had not been developed, in all likelihood the property will be developed as housing and the creek would probably have been channelized. Wetlands - While there are no designated wetland areas within the site, the project will allow for the preservation of the 100 year floodway of Mud Creek. This floodplain encompasses over 50% of the Gulley park site. The preservation of this floodplain as a recreational facility is a very appropriate use, and will help to filter out the effects of development around the site, thus improving water quality.. There are also other recreational facilities located along this floodway. It is possible that a series of trails could eventually be developed to link these facilities, making use of the floodway. Proper Planning - The city of Fayetteville has demonstrated that they are committed to quality planning to insure that the public benefit derived from the park is maxamized while insuring that use does not have an adverse effect upon the site. Considerable planning efforts have been undertaken and completed to study and analyze the site and its opportunities and constraints. A in depth public input process has been completed over the course of a several year period to insure that the parik facilities meet identified recreational needs, and these uses have been integrated into the overall Master Plan for the park that is included as a part of this document. HUMAN COMMUNITY While the initial public input process for Gulley Park began in 1988, yearly public hearings have been held since that time in an effort to update and adjust priorities based upon changing needs. Urban & Rural Recreational Needs - Because of its location in Fayetteville, the park will serve the more urban population, however it will also serve a number of nearby • • • • • • rural areas that do not have the resources to provide or maintain a park system of their own. Public Involvement - Gulley Park has probably had the most intense series of public hearings that have ever been performed for such a facility located in the State of Arkansas. In the process of preparing for the park development and submitting numerous previous grant applications a number of hearings have been held and documented. These hearings were always well attended, as indicated by the lists of participants included. Access to Recreation Facilities by all Arkansans - Development of the proposed facilities within the park will provide Arkansans with improved access to unique Pavilion and Playground activities. The playground will be designed to be barrier free and to promote play for all children despite handicaps or different abilities. As required all facilities in the park are accessable and all proposed facilities will continue to be accessible. GOVERNMENT'S ROLE Avoiding Closure - The city of Fayetteville has a long standing record of developing and maintaining its parks. The department of Parks & Recreation has a professional staff that has maintained and developed parks for many years, thus potential closure of Gulley Park is not a possibility. Grass Roots Support - There is considerable Grass Roots Support for Gulley Park & the Fayetteville Parks system. This is clearly evidenced by the level of public participation in the public meetings. Planning - The City of Fayetteville has a long standing committment to quality comprehensive planning of its park resources. Priorities for Gulley Park in particular have been revised almost on a yearly basis as illustrated by the quantity of public input data included in the appendix of this report. Technical Assistance - The Fayetteville Department of Parks & Recreation has a quality professional staff which oversees their development and programs. The department also relies on the expertise of professional park design consultants including Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers and Recreational Planners as needed to insure that the quality of both programs and facilities are high. Cooperation with the Private Sector - The Fayetteville Parks Department has a long standing record of working with the private sector to develop its facilities. They have recieved numerous donations and considerable input from • • • • • • • • • • • private individuals corporations or groups that is related to the past development of Gulley Park. This cooperative involvement is expected to continue in the future development of the parks system. SPECIAL CONCERNS Litter & Recycling - The city of Fayetteville has one of the most aggressive and successful litter control and recycling programs that is now operating in the state. Fayetteville is one of only 2 cities in the state that are currently members of the Keep America Beautiful Program. This program requires a serious committment and considerable effort toward the elimination of litter. Fayetteville's recycling program has been used as a model for programs now being initiated in many other cities. The cities committment to these programs will insure that the park will be used as a part of these programs. Preservation of Open Space - Federal Assistance will insure that Gulley Park will remain a public recreational asset in perpetuity. Trails - Past development has built a very effective series of trails into Gulley Park. Eventually plans call for connecting to other parks with additional trails through floodways. The facilities proposed for grant funding will greatly enhance the use of these existing trails. General comment on need --The most important consideration in the planning and design of this park has been providing enough recreational diversity to appeal to all, regardless of interests or ability. It is this consideration which makes the park development so badly needed. While there are currently parks in the area that provide for a variety of recreation and sports, there is not currently a park providing such diverse recreational opportunities. In the development of parks and recreational facilities, organized groups such as soccer or softball leagues are often able to exert pressure and raise funds to develop facilities for their chosen sport. This often results in the construction of single dimensional parks that cannot best serve the needs of many members of the community. It is exactly this sort of situation that is being avoided in the development of this park. The community leaders of Fayetteville realize how important less organized passive recreation facilities can be to the quality of life in a city, and they are committed to making certain that these facilities are provided. The award of a LWCF grant would play an important part in insuring that the citizens of Fayetteville are provided with a healthy variety of recreational facilities, allowing all the opportunity to participate, regardless of interests or ability. 2. BENEFITS EXPECTED- The proposed projects will provide a number of benefits which should result in a healthier community, both figuratively an literally. Some of the recreational opportunities already provided or to be provided by the park include: Jogging Working out Walking Fishing Picnicing Gatherings Free Play Volleyball Horseshoes Biking Children's Play Such a variety of activities will certainly appeal to a wide variety of individuals. The park is intended to serve all of the population of the area, from small children to the elderly. It is important that the park not only provide recreational activities for this diverse population, but also to promote interaction between the users. While each user will benefit individually, the city will also benefit from an increased sense of pride in the city and its leaders, hopefully resulting in more improvements, both public and private. 3. AGREEMENTS- There are currently no agreements related to the proposed park. The park will be owned and maintained entirely by the City of Fayetteville. 4. LOW MODERATE INCOME- The median income in Fayetteville is $11,636.00 15.5% of the households in Fayetteville have an income of less than $9711.00. 5. INCOME- A nominal income will be produced by users fees for reserving the pavillion and other park facilities. The funds generated in this way will be used to assist in cleaning and care of the park. 6. COMPETITION- The park's facilities will not be in competition with any private recreational facilities in the area. 7. MINORITY INVOLVEMENT- While there are relatively few individuals from racial minorities in the Fayetteville area, careful consideration has been given to providing suitable facilities for Senior Citizens and Handicapped Groups. Input from these groups has been sought at public meetings and the proposed plan reflects consideration of this input. . 8. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION/DEPARTMENT/COMMITTEE- The City of Fayetteville has a Parks and Recreation Department with a Parks and Recreation Commission. The Director of the Parks Department is: Dale Clark 915 California Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 (501) 442-9242 A list of the members of the parks and recreation commission is included in the back of this report. The members of the commission serve to guide the City's efforts in the management and development of recreational facilities and programs. The committee must approve expenditures, assist the director in developing budgets, make suggestions regarding the development of parks and programs, and otherwise support the parks program in any way that they can. The department has a substantial part in the annual city budget, and has its own maintenance staff, as well as access to additional city staff as needed. 9. SPECIAL FEATURES- The proposed park plan includes a number of features which are unique to it's area, and will provide opportunities for recreational pursuits which do not now exist in the area. Some of these unique features include: The Pavilion - A large (approx. 60'x40') and very attractive Pavilion is to be built with a part of the grant proceeds. This pavilion will be custom built using attractive native stone to match the existing park entry fence and gate. The pavilion will include custom fireplaces and barbeque grilles, as well as a number of interpretive graphic displays to interest and educate the public concerning the history of the area as well as its natural features including wildlife, geology, plant materials and many others. The Barrier Free Adventure Playground - This special playground will be built with facilities to meet the needs of all children with a variety of different abilities. The playground features will be designed in accord with the "Handbook for Public Playground Safety" and will make use of facilities designed to promote multidimensionsl, creative and imaginative play rather than one dimensional play such as simply swinging or sliding. Some conventional play experiences such as swinging and sliding may be incorporated into the overall play environment, however these will be structured as a part of a creative system that provides added dimensions to their use. I Community Involvement- The City of Fayetteville has made a serious commitment of both funding and energy to the development of this park. Through their support of the park project, they insure a broad base of community support for the project. The public meetings needed to develop the plan have also helped to insure a broad base of support in the community. When the project is completed the park will provide diverse recreational opportunities not presently available in this area of Fayetteville. The people of Fayetteville will be proud of this park and the sense of civic pride will serve to minimize vandalism and littering. 10.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. 1. NEED FOR THE PROPOSAL - Plans for Fayetteville's Gulley Park call for the development of a multi -use recreational area to serve the people of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The park is located in northeastern Fayetteville, within walking distance from several neighborhoods, and within easy driving range for all residents. The site is currently a combination of undeveloped pasture and wooded land containing a small pond and creek with some limited park facilities including trails, volleyball, a fit core and related support facilities. Adjacent property in all directions contains single family residences. There are two small churches that border the site- one to the west and one to the south. The recreational facility survey update included as a part of this application indicates an acute shortage of opportunities for unstructured passive recreation types. It is the intent of the City that this park serve to eliminate much of this shortage. The provision of the diverse recreational opportunities shown in the plan will assure that there is something in the park for all. The planned facilities include: PHASE 1 DEVELOPMENT - *An extensive jogging and walking trail *An Adventure Playground *Horseshoe Pits *Playfields *Picnic Tables *Pavillion *Lighting *Landscaping *Parking and other support facilities *RestRooms *Pond Reclamation LATER DEVELOPMENT *Tennis Courts *Recreation Center *swimming Pool *Additional Picnic Facilities The combination of all the facilities listed above should provide a very complete recreational facility unique within this area of Fayetteville. Construction of the initial work on the park began in August, 1990, with the additional construction anticipated to begin in the spring of 1991 with approval of a grant and execution of the necessary contract work. 2. ALTERNATIVES a) No action- If no further action concerning the park is taken, the City of Fayetteville will continue to have a shortage of passive and unstructured recreation. Since the site is in a rapidly developing area of town, pressure on the City to release the property for residential or commercial development is probable. If construction of the park is delayed or abandoned, many segments of the population, such as the elderly, handicapped, and the younger children, as well as those not interested in organized sports will lack adequate public recreational opportunities. This is not an acceptable option, as it leaves large segments of the population whose needs are not met. b) Leaving further funding to the City- If funding were left entirely to the city, it is possible that the proposed work might eventually be completed, however, this would significantly delay the completion of facilities and increase the usage of an already overburdened parks system. In addition to the direct benefit of providing partial funding of the park's development, a grant would also insure that the area is reserved in perpetuity for passive and unstructured recreation. The possibility that this option would result in the elimination of a variety of unstructured and passive recreational activities, and the certainty that it would result in significant delays in the provision for these needed facilities, makes this option unacceptable. c) Partial funding of the grant request- Providing partial funding would result in deletion of some of the recreational facilities from the park. While this is the least objectionable of the alternatives, it would be unfortunate to be unable to address these acute needs completely and in a timely manner. The city is making a commitment of $50,000 toward meeting these needs of it's people, and partial funding would result in a lower quality less complete facility. d) Selection of another location for the park- Should another location be selected, the additional cost of land acquisition would have to be added to the funding request. This would result in lesser facilities being made available for the investment involved. The selected site has been purchased by the city at substantially less than market value due to the generosity of an individual who desires to see park development in the area. The site is well suited for the proposed uses. Selection of an alternative site would also result in a loss of the benefits that the proposed park would provide for this area of Fayetteville. The unnecessary additional expense of land acquisition makes this option unacceptable. 3 IMPACTS a) Land use- The proposed park site is currently only lightly developed. The site consists of primarily pasture land with scattered clumps of small to medium sized trees. Large trees such as sycamores and hackberry are found along Mud Creek which flows across the site diagonally towards the northeast. Proposed use for the land is a combination of active and passive recreation on site. The creek separates two areas which are now linked by means of a system of surfaced jogging and walking trails. It is the intent of the park plan to preserve and enhance the character of the existing environment. The surrounding land use is primarily single family residential, consisting of nice medium size (probably 1500 to 2500 Sq. Ft.) homes on lots of about 1/6 to 1/4 acre. It appears that the majority of these residences have been developed within the last 10 years and are a relatively stable land use. To the west of the site is a small church. Another small church borders the site to the south with single family residential properties beyond it. Property immediately to the east is presently a small acreage pasture wuth single family residential beyond it. The development of the proposed park area should not have a detrimental effect on any of the surrounding land uses and residents of nearby housing should find the park to be an asset. b) Fish and Wildlife- While the site is located within a developed area, it does act as a green island that supports some small wild animals,reptiles, birds, and fishes. The only wildlife observed during site analysis visits consisted of rabbits, squirrels, lizards, turtles, kingfishers, and other small birds. There is a small pond and creek that appear to contain small populations of various species of fish. With only limited clearing and grading, most of the park area will remain in a near natural condition, thus there would be little or no effect on the existing wildlife. The park's development plan calls for improvements to be made to the existing pond to enhance it's water quality. The planned pond improvements and stocking of the pond will create a substantially improved condition for aquatic life. c) Vegetation- The site currently consists of a combination of pasture and woodlands. Vegetation in the pasture areas consists of a mixture of native grasses. The proposed development will maintain many of these areas nearly as they are now. The woodland areas on the site are primarily forested with small hardwood trees(6"DBH and smaller) and native underbrush, however there are a number of large hardwood trees spread around the area along the creek banks. In the process of preparing site analysis information for the design of the park, the locations of these significant trees have been mapped. It is the intention of the park design to preserve all of these major trees, as well as any of the smaller trees that are healthy and do not directly interfere with the proposed improvements. As a part of the proposed improvements, funds have been set aside to provide for additional landscaping of the site. This landscaping will be used to enhance the natural character of the site while providing screening for bad views and enhancing the site's good points. d) Geology and Soils- The site currently has no sensitive soil or geological features. The proposed development is to require only very minor grading which will not affect the soils or geology of the area. Some existing low spots will receive a small amount of fill in order to improve drainage, but this will be very minor. Grading which must be performed will be done as quickly as possible and reseeded immediately to cause as little additional silting from runoff as possible. e) Mineral Resources- There are no known mineral deposits on the surface or underground on the project site, thus there should be no effect on these resources. f) Air and Water quality- The proposed development should have no impact on the air quality of the area, and should have a positive impact on the water quality. The relatively passive pedestrian oriented design of the park should discourage the use of motor vehicles in the area, and there are no other potential activities which could occur in the area that would be detrimental to air quality. Water quality on the site is reportedly good. Potential does exist for some stagnation of creek pools if summer drought creates a disruption of the normal flow. The creek enters the site from the south after flowing from the residential area to the south. There does not appear to be any contamination of the stream from any source other than runoff from neighborhood lawns. The existing pond is somewhat silted but does appear to support aquatic life, however, proposed improvements will clean out and deepen the pond, providing an improvement in water quality. This, plus the proposed restocking will result in a significant enhancement of the water resources of the area. g) Water Resources/Hydrology- The only effect which the project will have on the water resources and hydrology of the area would be a slight improvement because of the improvements to the pond. There are no elements of the planned work that could negatively impact on the area's water resources. h) Historic/Archeological Resources- There are no known Historic or Archeological resources located on or near the park site./ Should anything unexpected which appears to be significant be encountered while construction is in progress, work will be stopped until the area can be surveyed by experts, and appropriate action taken. The planned Pavilion and it's interpretive exhibits will provide the public with some interesting and educational information concerning the area and its history and environment. i) Transportation/Access/Consumption of energy resources - Construction of the park should have minimal effect on these areas. It appears that the slight increase in traffic should be no problem. Parking will be more than adequate. Vehicular access will be available from several points. The pedestrian orientation of the park should result in a reduction of energy consumption as many could walk to the park, and many others would have a shorter drive to this park than to any similar facility. j) Socio-Economic effects- The proposed park should have a positive socio-economic effect on the City. Construction will generate jobs, benefiting the economy.The completed park will be a pleasant setting for meeting and socializing. The park will also provide a source of free recreation available for the disadvantaged and unemployed. While individuals in all income ranges will be encouraged to use the park, it is particularly important that it provide a source of recreation to those who may not currently have such options. 4. AGENCIES AND PERSONS CONSULTED N.W. Arkansas Planning and Development District 5. WASTE/VANDALISM MANAGEMENT a) Litter Control- Litter control will be accomplished by the strategic location and design of trash containers as an integral part of the park. Collection from the containers will be accomplished by using the jogging trail to provide access for small collection vehicles. Pick up of trash from the ground and emptying the 4 containers will be performed on a regularly scheduled basis as indicated on the enclosed maintenance schedule. Park signage will be used to encourage the use of the trash containers, and clean up deposits will be required of those reserving park facilities. As only one of the two Arkansas cities currently participating in the Keep America Beautiful Program, Fayetteville has made a very significant committment to the use of innovative litter control methods and these methods will be fully utalized in the park. b) Vandalism Prevention- All facilities located within the park will be designed to provide the greatest possible vandal resistance. The lighting planned for the park will also serve to reduce vandalism. The entire area should be well lighted, thus making it more difficult for vandalism to occur. Selection of materials and fixture types will be carefully made to provide for the greatest possible resistance to vandalism. The design of the access to the park was also done with vandalism control in mind. The park has no through drives, thus making it more difficult for vandals to escape if detected in the act. The combination of all these features should result in a facility that deters vandals and resists damage.

Ca1. 1 ey Park Pub1 i s Meeting June 29, 3992 7 pm Gulley Parking Lot PRAB Present: Steve Alexander, Larry Palmer Park Staff: Dale Clark, Connie Edmonston Press: NW Arkansas Times, Springdale Morning News The following comments were made at the Gulley Park Public Meeting held on June 29, 1992 at 7 p.m., Gulley Park parking lot regarding the development of Gulley Park. There were 73 people attending the meeting that signed the attached sheet. * Drain & deepen the pond. Restock it with fish. * Need swing sets. * Pond need to be enlarged, stocked, and fenced. * Widen the trail. * Need a woodchip trail beside the asphalt trail instead of widening the existing trail. * Need signs along the trail to mark the distances. * Mowing: Park needs to be mowed more. You can't sit down on the benches without ticks and chiggers. Park mower hit bench and dented it. * Keep in mind if you can't keep maintenance up what development you will put in. Who is going to sweep the wood chips off the trail? * If we have restrooms here, it will attract the same people as Lake Fayetteville South. * If you don't construct restrooms, you are limiting this park to neighbors only. * There are methods of building restrooms to have a limited amount of privacy. No doors - walls built up off the floor. Design the restrooms with a minimum amount of privacy. * People attending the Public Meeting that were not from the surrounding neighborhood were from Woodland, Wyman Road, Highland, Crossover. e • a• • Page 2 Gulley Park * Is the swimming pool in the plan? I vote not to have the pool at Gulley. e What were the results of the survey at the Public Schools? * I was at all of the with the concept of a initial planning meetings and I agreed recreation center and a pool. However, now that the like that it compatible. park has evolved, is nice to walk Need a pavilion, I have changed my mind. People in. The elder and younger are gazebo, and a water fountain. * I ditto what equipment. the man just said. We need more swings and play * People come to play volleyball and there is no net. * I'm sure there is a lot of need for a Youth Center. I'm a school teacher and if we have a Youth Center here, you will be separating the "haves" from the "haves nots". * What has happe Center? Clark: Looked on Highway 265 property owned Commerce about aped or is the alternative sites for a Youth at 67 acres that belongs to the Public Schools and 45, called Crossover Park. Also looked at by Dr. Nettleship. Visited with the Chamber of the NW Industrial Park area. * Consider outdoor basketball courts. We need more in the city. * Not advocating a swimming pool in this park. However, we need a Youth Center elsewhere in this city. * Need more lighting in the NE part of the park. Need a timer on the lights. * Those lights would shine in my bedroom window. * Continue the trail. Blacktop a trail along the creek. * Need additional swings by the elm tree on the SW side. * What is the process to get things off the Master Plan such as the Recreation Center to change the focus of this park? * How many entryways are planned? What about an entry off of Country Way? Clark: We originally ran into problems with the Country Way neighborhood not wanting a parking lot or entry way. * Build a small gazebos and pavilions. Construct fitness stations along the trail. . Page 3 Gulley Park Possibly link the fitness core with the woodchip trail. Designate areas for wildflowers. We used to have a lot more birds and rabbits. I would offer wildflower seeds for that. Turn dog leach sign the other way. What are you going to do with the two ditches that hold water? * Leave the park aesthetically pleasing. I like it natural. * How do you visualize the pavilion? Clark: Size to hold up to 50 people. Wood structure with barbeque facilities and water. * Could bring water fountain in off of Country Way. Someone might need water with a heat stroke. * There is not enough parking. People in other parts of the city need parking. Have parking in one area. * Have parking in three 'o four different lots to get to the park areas you need. * I know people from Huntsville, Gulley Road, and people from other areas that come here to walk. * Enlarge the existing parking lot to the east. * I would like to leave the existing parking lot gravel. * It is a long way to the picnic tables and grills by the playground area to carry your cooler, coals and things across the park from the parking lot. * There has been a number of accidents occurring at the parking lot intersection. * Possibly have parking west of the creek area where access to the trail is. * Clark: After Old Wire Road is widened, we could put a parking lot up in that area. * Our City is not bike friendly at all. Page 4 Gulley Park * The meeting voted on whether to widen the existing trails or to complete the existing trails and develop more. This was a split decision. * Put a questionnaire in the newspaper. Publicize the minutes of the meeting in the newspaper. * Have a tear off section in the paper to prioritize and mail in. * Gulley Park is a good area to work with the U of A's new Horticulture Head for floral and identification of trees. * Plant trees by playground area and parking lot.

'Jae (Jock ,c�nlonst�� hkIt f- 0L(vf, . I AUGUST 15, 1991 7 pa, Gulley Park Discussions and Questions were as follows: When will the trails be finished? Hopefully by the end of the year. What is the projection on the bridge rails? Kids are riding their bikes over the bridge and we are scared someone will get hurt. The bridge rails should be completed this fall. The park is great - we really enjoy it. What about organized sports? There will be none, only at the Recreational Center. If the Recreational Center is built, we will have the "haves" and the "haves not". There was opposition at the Washington School vision Meeting to create this. Clark: This center would be geared towards more family than just kids. Palmer: This park is more nature, than just sports. What about the entry? There will be no entry along Old Wire Road. What about for kids, they need a way to enter off of Old Wire Road? Sidewalks are needed. what is the projection on the Center and the Swimming Pool? 3 - 5 years. What is the source of funding? Program) We love the trails. Green Space, Sales Tax (CIP How long will the trails be? 3/4 to 1 mile Are you going to do anything to the creek to clear it up and make it more attractive? It's such a focal point of a park. Now it distracts from the beauty. Will the pavilion have a cover on it? When will it be? A pavilion with a cover would be used extensively. I see this more as a passive park. The creek needs to be cleaned up so that the kids can enjoy it. Page 2 Gulley Park Public Meeting 8/15/91 What about restrooms? It is not in the schedule for next year. What kind of in -kind services can be used? work, equipment costs, material costs. Would it be competing to start a "Friends of Gulley Park"? Maybe have a work day. This area has got to be the "walkinness area" in the city. Street lights are needed on the south end so that the people feel safe. The creek and underbrush needs to be cleared. Park Trust Fund is available for the public to contribute to for capital park projects. If the YMCA was built in Fayetteville, would the community have the support for three centers? NO We do not want to duplicate services. The decisions on the Gulley Park Recreation Center will come from the FYC Board of Directors. Now that the park is being developed, I see no quail. Leave the park natural. According to the plan, there is no parking for the volleyball court, playground areas, etc. The arteries leading to these areas concern me for parking. Leave some area natural for wild flower plantings, etc. (Southwest end) This is essential a walking/jogging park. I see an overdeveloped plan for this park. I would reposition the pavilion to be located with parking available. Leave the amphitheater at the University. Would prefer a covered pavilion than a amphitheater. It's nice to have a natural park, but I don't want the chiggers and the weeds. The quality so far of the development of the park has been great. Straighten out the trees and rocks caused from the dozers. The obvious need is more walking and jogging trails than a swimming pool. Page 3 Gulley Park Public Meeting 8/15/91 What are the play fields envisioned as being? A place to play ball, soccer, etc. No league play or lights. If there is an amphitheater, who determines who uses it? I am worried about the rock concerts. Need more small playgrounds. Could a civic club add on to the existing one? Those interested in having a work day, please place a check by your name. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m., Gulley Park. #6 publicm • 5a/fey RarrKu,6l c 1917 `i�i��� ✓ia�c I, a.

Lohr NEWS Stall Writer Alan 50 Fayetevillc residents assembled Monday night to offer am Parks and Recreation Advisory Board their ideas for the fulurcdevc- lopment of Gulley Park Residents mid they would Eke to see lighted pathways with distance markers, widened pathways or sepa- rate paths for prdestriaw and eyelcn. Small gazebos equipped with fitness station and a pavilion with barbecue facilities would make using the park more enjoyable. More swing sets. outdoor basketball courts and horseshoe pits wore other recommendation. Drinking fountains and bathrooms were high on the list. However. one resident said he would prefer the city not instill bathrooms. Rcfcning to the city's problems at Lake Fayette- ville South the resident mid the bath- rooms might amcl an unwanted oed on the property and fish. He suggested fcnc- e protect small children In. quently jogs through the park said he would like on see larger and more wildflower areas. The parks board has asked that Gulley be designated a herbicide -free park by the city Board of Directors. Nearly all of the residents who lived in the neighborhood were opposed Los swimming pool being built in Gulley Park and the msidenu also had submitted a petition to the parks board asking that another site be selected for the proposed youth center. Parks and Recreation Director Dale Clark said the city was looking at them other possible sites for she youth center. The group also discussed the future need for another Uleance to the park and more parking space. Gulley was designed to be a city pork — not a neighborhood park, Clark said. Representing the eight-munbu parks board as We gathering beside the Gulley Park parking lot wore board Clnirnun Steve Akron Brand board member Larry Palmer. The parks department will apply for up to $50.000 in matching fools from the Arkansas Paris andTourism Department to be used for outdoor dcvelopmmt.

IM. money will come from the Tie's Land and WaerConserva- tion Fund "Last year, we wore an closet" Edmonton said, adding that she thought Fayetteville's chances at a grant had improved since 1991. Clark said his division will apply in August for the third time for this gran. The city will ask for the maxi- mum amount allowed by the state. The money in the fund comes from the sue tax on real esum t anmc- lions, and any amount of grant awarded must be spent on outdoor improvements. While Fayetteville has other parks that have fallen into greater need since the application began three years ago, the city would lest oonsid- enble ground if the parks department changed the target of the funding to another park, he mid. 2ATHE MORNING NEWS Friday, August 16. 1961 Residents Want Natural Setting, Not Development, in Gulley Park Ron Wood NEWS Staff Writer Northeast Fayetteville residents during public hearing at Gulley Park said Thursday night they want to see more walking and jogging trails and less mowing and development at the site. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board officials have been following a plan that would see the area developed into another large, community -based city park — possibly with a $2 million recreation center and a pool. Those facili- ties, if developed, are several years away. "I see an overdevelped plan for what this should be," Ken Shireman said. 'Too much." Shireman said the planned facilities at the park should be more concentrated — "tucked in" — so that "substantial natural areas" can be left relatively undisturbed. He said there has been a marked decline in the number of birds and other wildlife since the city started mowing large areas of the park and developing facilities. He suggested the city let many areas of the park remain in a natural state, unmowed. "Just leave the natural areas ... leave the wildflowers ... don't mow all the time," Shireman said. Shireman, and many others among the 50 in auendence, said thepark is now essentially a walking and jogging park. The city has a substantial portion of the planned trails in place, the bulk of the remaining trails planned should be in place by the end of the year. Joe Tarvin said he'd like to see the park left as natural as possible, but "not too natural" because of the potential for ticks and chiggers. Parks and Recreation Director Dale Clark said there is a "real dilemma" when it comes to'deciding what level of maintenance a facility should receive. The Gulley Park master plan was approved several years ago but parks offi- cials have escalated priorities for the park in recent years to insure a city - owned facility is built that can be integrated into city recreation plans. Much of the increase is due to rumblings about a proposed YMCA that would duplicate services. Parks and Recreation Department officials say there will at some point have to be a second facility developed in Fayetteville because of its expansive growth. They say that the city, by building a facility, can ensure that programs provided can be integrated on a citywide basis, ensuring more equal facilities and programs and avoiding the "have and have-not" syndrome. The city's current facility, the Fayetteville Youth Center, serves primarily south Fayetteville. Much of the reason is the distance children from other areas ..of town have to travel to reach the facility. During the Fayetteville Vision meetings, several people voiced opposition to developing a recreation center at Gulley, saying they thought locating it in the affluent northeast section of town would be "giving it to the haves," Jana Lynn Britton said. Britton sat on the Vision steering committee. According to Clark, letting another group build a facility in the area "will be giving it to the haves" because of the higher costs to auend and participate in programs. It would also divert funds needed for city youth programs, such as those donated by the United Way, he said. Finally,.Clark said, plans are for the Gulley Park facility to be more of a family recreation center than a youth center, featuring programs for all ages. The public hearing was required for an application the city is making for state matching grant funds — a land and water conservation grant — to help develop the park. A "fitness core," a larger playground and possibly an ampitheater are the projects tentatively planned if the $50,000 grant is received. Residents, however, seemed more favorable to a pavilion and restrooms than the ampithcater. The city plans to use capital improvement program funds and greenspace funds to match most of the grant. About $60,000 has been budgeted for the park in 1992. Other concerns included the need for more lighting for safety; possibly clearing some underbrush along the creek that runs through the park; and keeping the ponds on the site. less te w I L I, It 141? s re-WAtr 3° w [CO -2 Over- c r- e s"r zy3o frta %� 1-s80 UJOtlbrocL lir, ! 166 1 G6G %flv.vsAp `j-u5cn Escl hcct2 fl Y yacL .04fus� ' If 9/ w v er-c.-.e fr(+.at o Joe e.

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board officials have been following a plan that would see the area developed into another large, commumry-based city park — possibly with a $2 million natation center and a pool. Those facili- ties, if developed, are several years away. "J see an overdevelped plan fa what this should be," Ken Shireman said. Too much."

(Continued from page 1A) would meet competitive swim stan- dards if one is built at all. Waite said money would probably be a pro- blem, noting that when the Parks board had considered a new pool for Wilson Park five years ago the price tag was $1.5 million. Another board member agreed, saying all but minimal development will be a pro- blem. He said the Parks budget this year is only 55 percent of the 1987 budget. Most area residents turn thumbs down on competitive playing fields, lighted tennis courts, and a lot of buildings. Several have resisted the idea of any access from Old Wire Road, considering it too dangerous. Waite said Thursday, the Parks board will review all public com- ments, incorporate their own ideas, and then hire a professional to de- velop a park plan. At that stage, he said, another public meeting will be held to review the plan before revis- ing it and forwarding it to the city board for final approval. lL . •S��.p LF� v •a AI Ask. Tr I !� .
