These playgrounds were identified as needing improvements to meet American with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements and as needing improvements based on the CSD Integrated Master Plan. The renovation will improve safety, access, and update amenities.

Abiquiu 36” Air Relief Valve Replacement

The Abiquiu Hydroelectric Dam has been in operation for nearly 40 years. The 36” air relief valve, which acts as both an air release valve and air inlet/vacuum relief valve for the penstock, is located above ground in a small room that is exposed to the elements. This valve is leaking and must be replaced. This is a critical element in the watering and de-watering of the penstock.

Abiquiu PRV Chamber Gates

The chamber housing two 54” by-pass valves at the Abiquiu hydroelectric plant must be de-watered periodically to perform inspections, perform maintenance and replace equipment. The old bulkhead gates that are used to isolate the chambers are worn and mis-aligned, allowing excessive seepage during de-watering operations. Two new bulkhead gates will be fabricated to replace the old gates.

Abiquiu Unit #3 Draft Tube Repair

The existing draft tube on unit #3 in Abiquiu has been experiencing wear from cavitation created by the dissolved oxygen injection system. It is scheduled for replacement.

Abiquiu Wicket Gate Hydraulic Servo Motor Replacement

The hydroelectric plant in Abiquiu has two turbine/generators that were installed in 1987 and have two servos per turbine that operate the wicket gates. All four servos were rehabilitated about 10 years ago. They are now leaking hydraulic oil again and will be replaced.

ADA Audit and Transition Plan

Implementation of the ADA Audit Transition Plan that was finalized in 2022. The ADA Audit and Transition Plan is a federal requirement to identify gaps in outdoor recreation amenities and remove barriers that prevent use by those with disabilities. The implementation is prioritized by short-, mid-, and long-term transitions to bring out of compliance items into compliance.

Artificial Turf Study

CSD has hired NV5 to assess the benefits of artificial turf for high school baseball and softball fields at North Mesa Sports Complex and Overlook Park. This conversion is part of the CSD Integrated Master Plan's short-term projects. Artificial turf provides advantages over natural grass, such as year-round playability in various weather conditions, reduced maintenance needs, and consistent play.
