August 9, 2016
The City hosted its third community design workshop for the Hill Recreation Area Master Plan, which is also home to the Margaret Todd Senior Center and Hill Gymnasium. More than 70 people attended the meeting where the project consultant showed the preliminary conceptual drawings that resulted from the first round of community design workshops in May 2015. The majority of attendees liked and gave feedback on the conceptual design which includes synthetic turf fields (which would significantly  increase the amount of time available for field use throughout the year), bocce ball courts, a playground, walking path, pickleball courts and increased parking.  

The City received a lot of community input on needs and desires for park amenities, which resulted in a project that will improve accessibility, field conditions and expand parking to better meet all of the needs at this 12-acre City-owned recreation site.

Additionally, the City gathered community input on a preliminary strategy for construction phasing taking into consideration project priorities, available funding and construction practices.

The Novato City Council approved the conceptual design for the Hill Recreation Area Master Plan and the commencement of the environmental review process that needs to occur before construction begins.
