A portion of the park is closed. This project will reconstruct the existing playgrounds and entrances along the eastern edge of Tremont Park. A lawn will replace the deteriorated bocce court and pathways between the two playgrounds. Other enhancements include new benches, swings, play equipment, water play areas, fencing, and two new ADA ramps at the existing comfort station. Please pardon our appearance.
