Angled off-street parking is being reviewed to accommodate the relocation of the No Parking Zone from the west side of Northland Lane to the east side in anticipation of the development of Heartland Meadows West. Off-street parking adjacent to the park could help alleviate several concerns, making it more convenient and safer for residents and visitors to Cannonball Ridge Park.

The city is exploring potential solutions to parking demands in this area because Cannonball Ridge Park naturally attracts significant vehicular traffic, particularly during peak usage times for sporting events and community activities. The increased park usage can lead to overflow parking on Northland Lane, potentially causing traffic congestion and safety concerns for residents, pedestrians, and children utilizing the park. The park offers baseball diamonds, basketball courts, playgrounds, and open playfields.

The proposed off-street parking is estimated to cost $339,625.00.
