The Braemar Park master plan was created in 2017 with the help of residents and community members. City Council approved the master plan on Jan. 3, 2018. On Nov. 8, 2022, voters approved via referendum a local option sales tax to allocate $8.1 million of project funding for implementation and next phases of the Braemar Park master plan. Project planning efforts are moving forward for completing final design and constructing improvements in the park. Additional stakeholder and public engagement will occur during preliminary and final design to integrate comment and feedback into the design process.

Current proposed trail and park improvements include:

  • Walking trails
  • Mountain bike trails
  • Cross-country skiing trails
  • Pickleball
  • Courtney Fields baseball complex improvements
  • Wayfinding signs and trail connections
  • Natural resource restoration
  • Improved parking and access to Braemar Golf Course, Braemar Arena, and Courtney Fields

    We are excited to be working on refining the approved Braemar Park Master Plan. SRF has been hired to design the trail alignments throughout the park for Pedestrians and Mountain Bikers. We are fortunate to have Tim Wegner a well loved mountain bike trail designer working on trail locations and features that maximize terrain, views, and the mountain biking experience. SRF and RES a restoration expert are working together to analyze and create a sustainable ecological restoration plan and implementation.

    For Courtney Fields WSB is working on designs for upgrades to both playability and spectator spaces. Sports Lighting Authority has also been brought on board to assist with field lighting. Plans and layouts include the addition of trail connections and a play structure for visitors and neighbors.

    Exciting progress is being made, please join us for our September 6th open house to view the design concepts.
