On August 20, 2021, the Park Board of Commissioners agreed to move forward with path and parking lot improvements for the District. The Path and Pavement Repairs project replaced sections of asphalt walking paths at various parks. In addition, the parking lot at Carefree Park was completely replaced with new asphalt and striping for parking spaces. At each park location, sections of path were identified by path markings and temporary signage. Design and Permitting occurred in the Summer of 2020 with Bidding taking place in the Summer of 2021. Construction began in August and all locations were completed by 11/1/2021. To view the construction progress, click this link Construction.
