1. RECOMMEND DESIGN FOR THE LA QUINTA PARK SPLASH PAD RENOVATION
PROJECT NO. 2022-19 TO CITY COUNCIL
Management Analyst Hansen presented the staff report, which is on file in the Community
Resources Department.
The Commission discussed the two splash pad design options proposed by California
Commercial Pools; how the designs are similar in size, but incorporate different features such
as water cannons, buckets, and water fixtures, material and lifespan of the water features,
and the use of recycled water to operate the splash pad; the cost difference between the two
options, with Option B featuring more expensive water fixtures than Option A.
