The existing perimeter chain link fence at the Atlantis Play Center has been in place for decades and is in need of replacement to improve security and safety for park patrons and City staff. 

The proposed improvement to replace the fence includes removal and disposal of the existing 6 foot tall chain link fence. The contractor will install a new fence using the ClearVu product fence material, and repair any turf and hardscape damaged during the project.  

The new fence will be eight feet tall with an additional one foot section on the top angled outward at 40 degrees. This will make the fence nearly nine feet tall overall. Additionally, on the north side of the park (closest to the 22 Freeway), the fence will go 18 inches below ground to prevent anyone or any animals from digging under the fence and gaining access to the park. 

The ClearVu fence product is designed to allow for maximum visibility, which will also increase security as it will help prevent people from hiding in or behind the park.
