Document Description
Mills Park is approximately 4.45 acres (195,000 sq.ft) centrally located in the City of Carson. A majority of the improvements are on the easterly half of the park, while minor work is also being completed on the westerly half of the park, which is mostly natural turf. The project scope involves expanding the existing building by approx. 1,400 sq.ft., to provide more office space and additional internal storage. The project will remove the old wading pool to be replaced with a splash pad water feature. The irrigation system will be adjusted according to the modified site layout. Majority of the turf areas will remain with a few locations to be improved due to a bigger playground area with rubberized surface and conversion of the half-court to a full court basketball. The fitness area will have a new shade cover and a three new picnic shelters will be installed. The park marquee sign will be upgraded to a digital format sign. Lastly, the project will improve the condition of the concrete walkways throughout the park.
