Parks & Recreation Board Agenda Packet 07.21.26
[1301 W Gregory St., Pensacola, FL, 32502; case 26-826] The Parks and Recreation Board is scheduled to review a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Southern Youth Sports Association's use of Legion Field. This MOU outlines the terms of use, payment structure, and responsibilities for both the City of Pensacola and the Southern Youth Sports Association. The board will also review an MOU for the Northeast Pensacola Wildcats for Roger Scott Football Field use, which was previously tabled due to a lack of quorum. Additionally, the board will receive updates on various park projects including the Fricker Center groundbreaking, Roger Scott Tennis Center parking lot resurfacing, Exchange Park ballfield improvements, Roger Scott Pool status, Cobb Center punch-list items, Bayview Park tennis court resurfacing and walking path completion, Woodland Heights Park parking expansion, and the proposed disc golf course at Hollis T. Williams Park. A workshop is planned for Tippin Park to discuss its future development as an inclusive park, with a public engagement meeting scheduled for August 2026. The Granada Subdivision Park reconditioning is also on the agenda, with a proposal to replace the old skating rink with a half-court basketball court, add a walking path, playground, and ADA sidewalks. [Roger Scott football fields; case 26-303] The Parks and Recreation Board meeting minutes from June 16, 2026, show that the Northeast Pensacola Wildcats' Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Roger Scott Football Field use was tabled due to a lack of a voting quorum, as Board Member Michael Blankenship recused himself due to a conflict of interest. The item is postponed for a vote at the July 2026 meeting. The minutes also detail the approval of the East Pensacola Student Athletic Program's MOU for baseball (Raymond Riddle Park and Bill Gregory Park) and football divisions. The Southern Youth Sports Association's presentation was also tabled due to a lack of quorum. Public comment during the Open Forum focused on special needs accessibility at Tippin Park, with several residents advocating for an inclusive playground and sharing concerns about the regional shortage of safe, inclusive play spaces.
