Summary
Council Member Joel Marks called the aging Aquatic Park splash pad a money pit with obsolete parts and questioned building a second splash pad half a mile from the free one at Kids Colony. Staff agreed to generalize the line item as an 'aquatic amenity upgrade' rather than a straight replacement.

Impact analysis
The splash pad replacement carried a $1.5 million placeholder in the priority list before being generalized.
Aquatic Park visitors would get a modern, maintainable water feature instead of a patchwork repair job.
None identified; the change broadens rather than removes the amenity.
