Executive Summary The Healy Lake Youth Council was established on January 13, 2018 in Healy Lake, Alaska. The founding
members include Alissa Healy (18), Kayanna Healy (15), Kristal Fifer (17), and Kiowa Fifer (19). As a part of
the first discussion, the youths developed a list of projects that could benefit the community. Some ideas include:
ice fishing, beadwork, gun safety, First Aid & CPR training, archaeology, learning our language, and building a
community playground. It is the goal of the youth council to begin developing a playground throughout the
summer of 2018, starting with an outdoor basketball court. Next summer, the youths plan to complete the
playground with additional equipment.
Objectives to create an outdoor basketball court in 2018
to add additional playground equipment throughout the following summer
provide a safe place for community members to play
encourage playing outdoors
inspire more families with children to move to Healy Lake
have enough children to re-open the school
Project Plan 1. Develop a vision of a “dream playground.”
2. Coordinate meetings with Tanana Chiefs Conference employees who can help research specific
playground equipment and guide the youths in further matters.
3. Research materials, safety requirements, other playgrounds, etc.
4. Research/apply for funding opportunities and create a budget.
5. Lay the foundations of the playground (i.e. gravel).
6. Purchase playground equipement.
7. Transport purchased playground equipment to Healy Lake.
8. Begin playground assembly.
9. Encourage the community to use the playground!

Some Basketball Court Options The youths would like to use some kind of paneling for a basketball court- something durable and easier to run
on than concrete. There are a variety of options that range in price and installation requirements.
DURACOURT® Backyard Courts & Home Gyms
(design a court to get a quote)
With 25 patents and dozens more pending, SnapSports
offers the top performance and safe play line-up of quality
modular sports surfaces & game components in the
industry.
Once the designs, colors, and plans are finalized,
components are ordered and construction schedules are set,
most courts are ready to go in under two weeks.
We recommend a 4" court base of steel-reinforced concrete
because it offers the best long-term performance. For
unstable soil, compaction or water table concerns, we
recommend post-tension concrete reinforced with cables.
What if a concrete base not suitable or allowed to be installed?
Our team has installed hundreds on non-concrete EcoCourt™ outdoor athletic sub sport surface systems over
the 35+ years. EcoCourt offers an eco-friendly alternative to concrete sub-base system, providing unmatched
performance and safe play when used with our multi-patented outdoor sport surfaces.
Authorized SnapSports dealers, contractors and/or company trained installers will install your court. Our multi-
game residential courts are built to specifications calculated by our engineering department and construction
teams.
Typical options include:
You buy components from us but install them and pour the concrete yourself.
You buy components and installation service from us but find a builder for the concrete.
A complete, turn-key project by an authorized SnapSports dealer.
