Sycamore Park is getting a makeover in 2018
Construction Update
This project is nearing completion and we understand your excitement to access this park again.
Right now, there is still work to be done on the
- tennis courts,
- playground and
- turf.
Once this work is complete, safety inspections must be done to make sure all construction meets public safety standards.
If you are walking in this area, please travel north of the construction fence; the ground is more level and therefore safer in this area.
We are working with the contractor to have all improvements made as soon as possible so the park can re-open by the end of November.
There are changes happening for Sycamore Park, including:
- New accessible playground equipment and swings
- Reconstruction of the tennis court, with line markings for tennis and pickleball
- Accessible pathways and seating areas, and
- New shade structure.
During construction please expect:
- Playground closure
- Tennis court closure
- Pathway closure
- Pedestrian access restrictions between Centennial Dr. and Dr. Charles Best School
Construction started in mid-July. Due to unexpected delays it is anticipated that construction will be complete in November.
Sycamore Park will remain open during construction. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping the park a safe place during construction.
