A conceptual plan for a 10-acre park in the Lompa Ranch development as provided by L.A. Studio Nevada.
Meeting 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Carson City Parks and Recreation Commission will pick up where commissioners left off in December — reviewing a conceptual plan for a 10-acre park in the Lompa Ranch development in central Carson City.
The meeting will be held in the board room of the community center, 851 E. William St.
“The draft concept plan was reviewed at the December 3, 2024, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting and was an initial opportunity for the commission and the public to provide feedback and direction to the developers,” reads a staff report. “The commission tabled the item to ensure the HOA (homeowners association) had the opportunity to review the plan. In January, the concept was reviewed by the Lompa Ranch HOA and they requested approval without changes.”
According to the Lompa Ranch North Specific Plan, which was approved by the Carson City Board of Supervisors in 2016, developers must complete a conceptual design of the 10-acre park on the west side of I-580 before the 400th residential unit in that area is finished, and they must dedicate the park to the city before the 750th unit is finished.
Developers are responsible for design and construction costs of the future park, and the park will be public but maintained by the HOA.
“The draft concept plan for consideration includes parking, large multiuse turf areas, connections to the regional trail system, an internal loop path, picnic shelter, dog waste stations, signage, interpretive/education opportunities, portable restroom enclosure, hydration station and landscapes,” reads the staff report.
In other action, parks commissioners will review funding priorities heading into the fiscal year 2026 budget cycle.

Commissioners may make a recommendation to supervisors regarding Parks and Recreation budget priorities but don’t have to, according to a staff report.
“All CIP (capital improvement project) requests require cost estimates and need written justifications as part of the department’s submittal,” reads a staff report.
The report says based on input from the commission, staff will bring back the department’s proposed budget at the commission’s April meeting for review. Supervisors are expected to review a tentative budget for the entire city in April and take up the final budget in May.
