February 21 Community Meeting about Green Hills Park

2/10/2018

2 Comments

 
On February 21, 6pm, at Hillsboro High School, Russ Pulley will be hosting a community meeting.  We will be presenting plans for the park and Festival, and need your input and help!  We particularly need help brainstorming sponsors and features for the Festival (set for Sept. 15, 2018) and working on a beautification committee for the park.   

Also, there will also be representatives from Metro who will present the proposed design for the Belmont Park Terrace sidewalk (alongside Green Hills Park).

Big thanks to everyone who donated to place sod on the grassy berms, and to Artisan Landscape Group for giving us a very reasonable price on the sod and putting it in place quickly.  The grass is looking great!
What else is new in and near the park?
  • Crepe myrtles are coming to the park! Thanks to our Arden Place neighbors for their generous donations towards these beautiful trees.
  • The concrete bench that was donated by former Councilmember Ron Turner has been moved by the Parks Dept. to a storage facility, so that it won't be damaged during the Belmont Park Terrace sidewalk construction.
  • The sidewalk construction has finally begun at Lone Oak and Overhill!  It will connect Lone Oak all the way to Shackleford.  Hooray!

  • And construction is starting in earnest at Hillsboro High School.  You can follow the progress at this link: http://wearehillsboro.com/campus-construction/

How will the lack of parking be addressed? I live on Castleman Dr and Many people park on the street to be close to the children's play ground. in the spring & summer both sides of the street are used which causes a safety issue with on coming traffic. Actually,I don't know where they should be parking '
thanks

That is a great question about parking. It would be safer to park at the parking lot by JT Moore. But if they are parking (or walking) from Castleman, there needs to be a crosswalk. At last night's community meeting on the Belmont Park Terrace sidewalk, Public Works said they would look into putting one in at the intersection with Castleman. Stay tuned.
