Park officials will start taking suggestions again on how to spend a pot of money that was set aside to fix open space eyesores again.

The Recreation and Park Department set aside $5 million of bond money for a community opportunity fund and the commission will hear about its status on Thursday.

Then park staff will release new applications for the money at one of the mandated workshops on March 21.

Last year the fund offered up to $250,000 worth of repairs or fixer-uppers, but this time applicants will be eligible for $1.25 million.

The winner will be announced sometime in September.
