The West Park Committee has been working with Toll Brothers and the City of Reno on obtaining an additional acre of land for the proposed West Park, which will most likely be granted. This would increase park size from 3.68 to 4.68 acres (160,300 to 203,860 sq. ft.) and provide an additional 41,000 sq. ft. of useable land. In this regard the Committee is recommending the reallocation of West Park land usage as follows (values in sq. ft.):
Original Recommended
Useable Space ` 80,000 121,000
Community Garden 6,500 8,125
Dog Park 43,000 57,375
Community Use (1) 7,500 32,500
Balance (2) 23,000 23,000
(1) Includes Child Play and Lawn Areas
(2) Unspecified Required Improvements
Note that the largest allocation increase will be for general Community Use, primarily in level lawn areas. The Committee felt this was appropriate given the limited Community Use lawn area in the existing East Park.

Less than 60% of the space useable (121,000/203,860)? Can we increase the useable space?
