Springfield Park District Capital Projects

Capital planning is a key element to the future success of the Springfield Park District. Outdated parks and facilities can limit our organization's delivery of products and services. Few, if any, of our facilities are exempt from significant physical renovations, improvements, or new construction required to meet their functional expectations. Springfield Park District Capital Projects include major renovations, new construction, substantial repairs, and equipment replacement—items that go beyond the scope of our normal maintenance and repair budget.

Planning for capital development and improvement at the Springfield Park District can be a complex combination of demands, financing, and the long-range plans for the District. The Park District has prepared a capital plan that establishes the priority projects for the budget cycle. Input to the plan includes projects that were not funded in the last budget cycle and are still a priority to the organization, plus new requests for projects that are physically and financially feasible. Input and requests come from a variety of areas within the District, including the Recreation Department, Parks Department, Finance Department, Marketing Department, and Athletic Associations. The number of worthy projects generally far exceeds available funds. Therefore, funding priorities become an important part of the capital planning process.

The Springfield Park District utilizes the following criteria to assist in determining the priority of a requested project.
