Future of Hughes Stadium Site

This survey was open until Friday, Feb. 24. 

As the City works to acquire the Hughes site your continued input into priorities for the site are critical. Through feedback to date, the City has heard interest in a range of activities from traditional Natural Areas activities, such as an area with native plant species, improved wildlife habitat and maintenance of “dark skies” to more traditional Parks & Recreation activities, such as a playground, bike park, and dog park. 

Additional context to consider:

• There is currently no funding designated for restoration or any other potential activities or uses on the site
• Overall funding sources are expected to be a combination of Natural Areas funding and Parks & Recreation funding based on usage/activities
• There is strong consensus to keep the disc golf course and the sledding hill.

Uses and activities listed on this survey are not exhaustive or comprehensive and are instead a list of most common requests on various survey and outreach results to date, including the statistically valid Parks & Recreation survey (LINK), previous Hughes community feedback, beginning on page 378 of the Agenda packet (LINK), and most recent survey results (LINK).

The ballot language required the City to purchase the property, zone it as “Public Open Lands District” and purchase the property to use for “parks, recreation, and open lands, natural areas, and wildlife rescue and restoration.” 

As we move forward with planning for the property, we would like feedback on types of uses the community may want to see on the Hughes property. Below is a table with examples of low, medium, and high-activity uses. Keep this information in mind when answering the questions below. The activities listed below have been generally categorized by lower to higher activity/impact level.

Please let us know your continued thoughts on the Future of the Hughes Stadium Site by completing a short survey.
