City Of Davis: City To Relocate Sky Track Within Arroyo Park

Press release from the City Of Davis:

March 10, 2022 12:30 pm

The City of Davis announced today it plans to relocate the Sky Track park equipment to another area of Arroyo Park in west Davis. The Sky Track is closed during this re-location effort.. The City is seeking input about this relocation at the March 16 Recreation and Parks Commission meeting and through neighborhood outreach. The City will also seek feedback about another park amenity to be installed in the existing Sky Track location. 

The decision to relocate the Sky Track was made by City staff after documentation of multiple incidents of vandalism of the locking mechanisms that were originally installed to prevent after-hours use, and after a report by City noise consultant, Acoustics Group, Inc. (AGI) showed that the noise generated by the Sky Track sometimes exceeds City noise standards while in use.

To review the staff report and the acoustics study, please visit: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/agendas and click on the Recreation and Parks Commission link.

The City understands that the Sky Track equipment has been very popular and enjoyed by many Arroyo Park users, and appreciates everyone’s patience as this temporary closure is undertaken to implement a relocation. Ultimately, park users will be able to enjoy the Sky Track again soon, albeit in a different location within the park, and also have the added benefit of a new playground amenity with the new play equipment that will be installed in the current Sky Track location.
