Executive Summary

The Gannoway Lake Park site is 58-acres along Burney Rd. This site is not only going to serve as parkland but will also serve as the location for the City’s surface water treatment plants – taking water from Oyster Creek, purifying it and distributing it to citizens. The Parks & Recreation Department is working closely with the Utilities Department to develop a master plan for the site that will expand on the underlying theme shared by both departments – water.

 

Staff will discuss the project and the next steps in the process.
