Recreation Amenities Committee: June 2023 News

Thank You—Thanks to everyone who attended the Amenities Improvement Project Update last month on May 6. We reviewed our current status, scope, schedule, and cost. The presentation is available online on the Niguel Shores website at niguelshores.org.

Progress Continues—The engineering is now complete and the city permit comments have been incorporated into our construction bids which are currently under review.
All major features of the project remain in scope, including: new sport court, new bocce ball courts, new shaded picnic area, new shading for the pickleball and ten- nis courts, the expansion of the existing playground and the walking trail loop. The team is currently focused on the detailed design of the shade structures, the sport court netting, and bocce ball court materials.
Construction is currently set to begin in September and end by December 2023. Pickleball court repairs may begin in an earlier phase this summer. This is currently being evaluated.

Rising Costs—As a result of increased labor and material costs, in addition to the extra city requirements, the decision was reached to not delete amenities, and to assess each home- owner $180 to complete the project as originally planned.

The amenities project team appreciates your positivity and excitement for these new amenities. The team has worked diligently for our community and are greatly appreciative.

Happy June!—An improved outdoor area is on the way for all the community to enjoy!
