Multi-Year Parks Construction Fund Summary

Funding for projects in FY 2025-2026 will come from cash reserves, bonds, park impact fees, and grants.
The funding for park improvements in future years will be evaluated annually to determine the amount
of debt needed to be issued.

Approximately $57,250,000 in Park additions and improvements is estimated over the next 5 years.

The projected impact of these projects is increased operational costs totaling close to $1.5M over the next
five years. These operational costs primarily support routine park maintenance, landscaping, irrigation
systems, trail upkeep, playground and amenity maintenance, utilities, and custodial services. As new
parks, trail sections, and recreational facilities come online, incremental increases in staffing, materials,
and contracted services are required to maintain safe, attractive, and accessible public spaces, as well as
to preserve the service levels and quality-of-life benefits Mansfield residents have come to expect.
