Just a little over $11 million in general obligation bonds will be on the November ballot devoted to any number of park and playground improvements and recreation center upgrades in Bernalillo County.
The bond proposal, which will appear as Question Number 3 on county ballots, will see $4 million for the planning, design, and building of an aquatic facility at the Raymond G. Sanchez Community building.
Another $2.5 million will go for the design and construction of the Swede Scholar Mesa del Sol Regional Outdoor Facility in District 2, a project that is expected to take at least a year to complete.
Exactly $500,000 will target planning, design, and construction work at the popular Westside Community Center, a project that will include the building of a lobby, fitness space, and boxing gym.
Another $290,000 will be allotted for the upgrading, design, and construction work at any number of ball fields across the county.
The parks and recreation bond proposal is one of six questions Bernalillo County voters will decide on as part of a larger $40.5 million general obligation bond.
