Know Before You Go
This project includes a number of improvements throughout the park with an aim to provide an overall sense of restoration. The work includes the reconstruction of the central lawn panel, dog run, entrance ramp from Pinehurst Street, new asphalt pathways and safety surfacing for the playground. Improvements to the dog run include water access, concrete curbs, fencing, surface material and benches. Additional drainage infrastructure will be added in both the playground and central lawn panel to help improve the longevity and usability of the improvements in these areas.
Thank you for your patience as we improve your park.
Anticipated Completion: Spring 2012
