Emmons Park is the newest public park in Springville and is under construction.
In 2022, work included site preparation, clearing, grading, storm sewer installation, and east trail loop clearing.
Construction for 2023 includes installing sewer and water services, concrete pavement of a parking lot, and the west trail loop.
As funding allows, additional planned amenities include a pavilion with picnic tables and electricity, sports fields for soccer, baseball, softball, and football, a concession stand, and an inclusive playground.
The cost to construct the park is around $750,000. To date (12/31/2022), approximately $439,500 has been directed to construct the park:
$350,000 City of Springville
$26,000 Spring Gala (2022)
$22,500 Linn County Board of Supervisors Economic and Community Development Grant
$16,000 Springville Presbyterian Church
$25,000 Wendling Quarries (in-kind product)
The City and Friends of Springville Parks are pursuing grant funding and have a fundraising committee of community members leading these efforts.
Nearly $325,000 is needed to complete the construction with all the planned amenities.
