May 2026 Bond Measure

The THPRD bond would focus on repair and replacement.

This measure would allow THPRD to issue up to $280 million in bonds to fund repairs and
improvements for facilities and properties owned or operated by THPRD. The primary focus of
this measure is to repair and maintain the park system allowing existing facilities to last longer.
THPRD currently operates 120+ parks, 85 miles of trails and pathways, 6 recreation centers, 8
swimming pools, and hundreds of sports fields and courts throughout the 50 square miles. The
proposal was developed with the help of a community-led Bond Task Force.
The replacement bond would fund the next 20 years of safety improvements:

Repair and Update Parks, Trails, and Facilities; Protect Natural Areas:
Repair parks, trails, boardwalks, recreation centers, sports fields, courts, pools,
playgrounds, equipment, and protect natural areas. A portion of funds would be for
targeted land acquisition and updated amenities.

Improve Safety and Accessibility:
Address safety and accessibility concerns – similar to work done in schools, upgrade
lighting, replace aging security and fire suppression systems.

Infrastructure Improvements:
Replace roofs, heating/cooling systems, energy efficiency improvements, building
infrastructure. Modernize building entrances to address safety and accessibility issues.

THPRD estimates that the tax rate on the bonds authorized by this Measure will not exceed the rate the
district targeted when communicating with voters about the expiring 2008 measure. The final payment
on the 2008 bonds will be made before taxes are levied to pay for the bonds authorized by this
Measure. The projected rate is $0.37 cents per $1,000 in assessed value, or approximately $10 per
month or $120 per year on a home with the average assessed value of $325,421. Actual bond rates will
fluctuate based on final interest rates and property value changes.
