Mayor Craig Greenberg presented the fiscal year 2025 budget on April 25, and the proposal includes several Olmsted Park System projects: $200,000: Complete Central Park’s sidewalk reconstruction $300,000: Repair the Central Park pergola $150,000: Renovate the Chickasaw Park lodge $375,000: Renovate the Gaulbert Pavilion near Big Rock in Cherokee Park In addition to these Olmsted Park-specific allocations, there is a proposed program that would have significant benefits for all Metro Parks. The budget includes $300,000 for park rangers who would provide monitoring and enforce park rules for the protection of park users, amenities, and natural areas. The FY 2024-2025 Recommended Executive Budget Document is available online here: https://lnkd.in/eiDxJwmq The public is encouraged to participate in the budget process by submitting public comment on the recommended budget.
