Council approves reinstalling basketball hoops at River Bend Park
Last night, the Savage City Council approved reinstalling the basketball hoops at River Bend Park. The hoops will be up by the end of the week. This decision was made in conjunction with other recommendations that our Community Equity Commission, Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission, and staff agree will help improve safety at this park and all parks in our community. These recommendations include continuing extra police patrol, adding fencing and lighting to specific areas, reviewing traffic calming options on Joppa, and adding programming and recreational amenities like a community garden that will increase general park activity. We know this has been a long process. Throughout this process, we heard how important this park is. We heard how important the basketball courts are. And we heard that you want River Bend Park to remain a neighborhood park.
Consultation has concluded
