Know Before You Go
This project will reconstruct Owen Dolen Park to include a more defined plaza area and enhanced green spaces. Sidewalks, paths, fencing, stairs, and lighting will be improved. The spire at the upper Terrace will be removed to open site lines into the park. As of April 2012, the Recreation Center will be closed during the construction. Members are directed to any of our other centers. Please pardon our appearance.
Anticipated Completion: Winter 2013
