1. Use Guidelines for Low Intensity Athletic Use of Phelps Open Space
The City of Winter Park Parks and Recreation Department is reviewing proposed use guidelines for low intensity athletic activities at Phelps Open Space. The guidelines, currently under review by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, aim to regulate team practices regarding player numbers, residency requirements, equipment restrictions, and scheduling. This review is part of a broader overview of the department's events and programming for 2026. If approved, these guidelines would establish specific rules for athletic use, including limitations on practice frequency, duration, and simultaneous use. The scope of work would involve managing team requests, ensuring compliance with residency rules, and potentially coordinating field maintenance to support the grass. Local businesses involved in sports management, event coordination, and potentially landscaping or groundskeeping services could find opportunities in supporting these regulated athletic uses. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the operational requirements and potentially offer services that align with the city's goals for the open space.

a. Parks and Recreation Master Plan Introduction
The City of Winter Park's Parks & Recreation Department is beginning the process of creating a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This plan will involve three stages: Project Initiation, Needs Assessment and Framework, and Recommendations and Implementations. GAI Consultants is leading this effort and will provide updates throughout the process. The project is currently in the early stages of planning and review. This initiative will eventually lead to site clearing and grading, potential construction, and landscaping work as specific park improvements are identified and implemented. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to stay informed about this long-term project, as opportunities for bidding on future work will arise as the plan moves through its phases.

b. Athletic Field Overview and Discussion
The City of Winter Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board is reviewing athletic field usage and potential new locations for open-play space. The discussion includes the feasibility of using additional fields at Harland, Phelps, Howell Branch, and Cady Way. Staff believe Cady Way is the most logical and attainable option for expanded open-play space. This review is currently under consideration, indicating an early stage in the public process. The project could involve site preparation, grading, and landscaping for new or improved athletic fields. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand potential needs for site work, construction, and maintenance as plans develop. Early involvement can provide an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
