About the Project
This 7-acre park was first established in the 1960’s. Almost 20 years ago, a comprehensive renovation plan was prepared but implementation was deferred due to lack of funding. With the concession building now completed, a new plan for the remaining park facilities is needed. Ideas that have been discussed include new fields and lighting, walking/fitness trail, enhanced play areas, amphitheater, dog park and landscaping. GreenPlay, LLC was retained to work with the community to determine the features to be included in the park. Stakeholder meetings, focus groups and community meetings were held and a proposed Conceptual Plan prepared.
