Status
Active. This project will supplement park uses in the 2010 Park Master Plan. This project will also contribute to revitalizing the area and attracting more visitors and residents to the park and waterfront area.
The design includes two embankment slides, approaches, park seating and site restoration. The first slide will be designed for pre-school aged children and meet requirements for accessibility; the second slide will be larger for use by school-aged children to adults.
The project is in early stages of design and permitting. We anticipate the project will undergo construction May through September 2020.
