BACKGROUND
The Parks and Recreation Department has the opportunity to submit an application
to the Pepsi-Cola Company for the installation of new Iron Mountain Forge Play
equipment. As a promotional campaign every year Pepsi selects numerous sites to
install a Pepsi Play -Park. The selection is based on community need, population
and cultural diversity.
Each city was able to. propose up to three parks as candidates for the Play
Park. We have submitted applications for North Oaks Park, Almendra Park and
Newhall Park. Parks and Recreation plans to redesign and provide upgraded
equipment at each of these locations thus a Pepsi Play -Park award will help
supplement the cost.
The average dollar amount of play equipment provided by Pepsi is approximately
15,000.00. If awarded, the City of Santa Clarita will go to competitive bid for
the construction of the Play -Park and installation of the Playground equipment.
The type of play equipment provided is the same as that installed at Canyon
Country Park.
In return for funding part of the Play -Park, Pepsi will use the play area for
advertising -purposes. A permanent 2 1/2 foot x 3 1/2 foot Pepsi Play -Park sign
will be installed near the play area. Banners will be displayed at the
playground dedication and possibly during the promotional campaign for next
year's program.
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the Pepsi Play Park report at the
June 18th commission meeting. Selected cities will be notified by mail by the
end of August 1990.
It is recommended that City Council review this report and direct staff to
submit our applications for a Pepsi Play Park.
