DeLagoon Park Construction Updates

September 20, 2024 -It's been a nice, dry fall and Comstock Construction has made great progress. Read all about it in this construction newsletter.

August 9, 2024 - Comstock Construction was awarded the campground improvement project on May 6. Before winter weather sets in they anticipate having completed all underground utilities, site grading and bathhouse installation.  The campground will have 42 RV sites (10 with sewer, water, electric and 32 with water and electric). There will be 8 tent sites, a shower/bath house and RV dump station. The asphalt paving and final turf installation won't happen until 2025. It is anticipated the campground will be ready to use in July 2025. 

Lighting improvements at the softball complex are complete and have been functioning throughout the summer. The materials for the baseball field lighting are being procured and the project will be completed prior to the 2025 spring baseball season.

DeLagoon Park

A popular regional destination for camping, disc golf, baseball, softball, soccer, and BMX racing, DeLagoon Park has not undergone a significant improvement project in many years. A 2015 master plan laid out ideal changes that City Council saw fit to revise and fit into a sales tax proposal: 

• Campground upgrades, including utility hookups, toilets/ showers, a dump station, and ability for online reservations.

• Restroom and concession facilities for soccer and softball users

• Restroom and lighting upgrades for baseball and softball users

• Park upgrades= $5.2 Mil

• The additional cost to operate the DeLagoon Park campground would be $18,575. This includes general maintenance, water and sewer costs and costs for the reservation system. There will also be new electric costs. All operations will be offset by revenue from campground reservations. The operating costs would be added to the City’s annual budget and included in the property tax levy.
