- Installing a rubber, padded surface at the playground area.

- Installing shade covers for parts of the playground.

- Adding special swings to accommodate children with disabilities.

- Purchasing an outfield fence for the softball field. 

- Adding more park benches.

- Replacing the horseshoe pit and shuffleboard courts with a bocce ball court.
