BACKGROUND
As part of the FY 09/1 0 Capital Budget, the Parks and Recreation Department was approved
funding in the amount of $135,500 to replace the existing playground that was beyond repair at
the Normandy Shores Park. The funding request proposed the complete replacement of the
playground, safety surface, new fencing, furniture, fixture, and equipment.
During project development, the Parks & Recreation Department worked internally to develop a
second phase of the park's revitalization, which included a new recreation building/activity
pavilion/restroom with storage space, similar to the one built in Fairway Park. A water
access/fishing dock and the new playground with shade and safety surfacing was also included.
In January 2012, the Parks and Recreation Department met with Commissioner Jorge Exposito
and Normandy Shores HOA Projects Committee Chair Mark Wojak to present the second
phase concept and gain initial feedback. Mr. Wojak agreed to take the concept to the
Normandy Shores HOA board for their comments. On February 14, 2012, Mr. Wojak
recommended that in lieu of the water access concept, the residents on Normandy Shores
would prefer a more open green space park which included the demolition of the existing
storage building/restroom that is in very poor condition. This restroom is currently utilized by
tennis players and a replacement is not included in this project, however, there is a public
restroom in the Normandy Shores Golf Club across the street. In addition, a vita course/ fitness
circuit similar to the one installed in Lummus Park, park furnishings such as benches, trash

receptacles etc., new fencing, and landscaping were part of the recommendations provided by
the residents.
