3 things to know about Green Hills Park's future

 Thanks to the very successful 2018 Green Hills Park Festival (and your very generous donations), there are improvements coming to Green Hills Park.

 What can you expect to see in the future at Green Hills Park?  Here are three of the projects you'll see first:

1. Completion of the walking path and sidewalk project along Belmont Park Terrace.
The contractor has come back out to complete this project.  It has been held up due to two re-designs.  The first re-design was required because of drainage coming into the park.  The second was due to ADA requirements. And the rain  made it difficult for the contractor to maintain access into the park.  The contractor expects to complete the project within the next 2-3 weeks.  The supervisor on the project is aware of the need to smooth out ruts along the path and to repair some broken pieces of sidewalk.

2.  Installation  of Trees & Benches.
Trees have been ordered and will be planted this fall/winter by the Parks Department. The majority of the trees will be placed in the corner at Lone Oak and Belmont Park Terrace, where the new path was created and many trees were taken out. The rest will be spread  out to different areas of the perimeter – with some going strategically where shade is needed.  In addition, benches are being priced, for placement along the walking path.

Did you know that you can dedicate a bench or tree in Green Hills Park?  A tree or bench would make a great holiday present or lovely memorial gesture. The benches  are black metal benches with bronze plaques. Information on this program can be found by clicking here:  tree and bench application.

3. Installation of play stumps.
Parks has approved the installation of several stumps for kids to play and climb upon.
