The playground structure at Brookview Park was replaced in summer 2022! The park is located at 9699 Bluegill Road.
Xcel Energy will be conducting planned maintenance on an existing 115 kV overhead transmission line that runs from Century Ave east through Cree Park to Upper Afton Road. As part of this maintenance, there will likely be intermittent trail closures.
Xcel will work with closely with Q3 to have signage or flagging needs in place to ensure trail user safety during this maintenance. This project is scheduled to start in April 2022 and completed by end of May 2022, pending inclement weather and other delays.
The playground structure at Marsh Creek Park was replaced in summer 2022. The park is located at 8025 Lake Road.
The old play structure was donated to Kids Around the World, an organization that refurbishes playground structures and rebuilds them in poverty stricken communities.
Shawnee Park Project
The 2022 Shawnee Park Project was sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). This program supports community development activities to build stronger and more resilient communities by funding infrastructure development such as parks.
The park is located at 6515 Scheel Drive.
Trail Projects
Projects include reconstruction segments of trail throughout the city, which are in poor condition and showing signs of severe surface raveling and large sections of trail in need of reconstruction. View a list of trail projects.
Concrete and Parking Lot Repairs
Removal of the current concrete and base material at M Health Fairview Sports Center near the trash enclosure (access to the sports center will be unaffected), Colby Lake Park Building outside off the shelter, and near the Stonemill Farms Picnic Shelter will take place in August or September.
The north half of the parking lot at the Public Works building, 2301 Tower Drive, will be reconstructed. Spot curb repairs will also take place.
Restroom Renovations
The restrooms at Edgewater Park and near the main picnic shelter at Carver Lake Park will be undergoing renovations beginning the week of Sept. 5. They will remain closed until work is completed in early October. Signage will be posted and portable restrooms will be available onsite.
Court Construction
The tennis and basketball courts at Odawa and Cobblestone Parks will be reconstructed including removal and replacement of the existing nets, fences, basketball standards and asphalt.
The courts at Ridge, Powers Lake East, Bailey’s Arbor, and Fox Run Parks will have the color completely stripped, cracks filled and be repainted.
Park staff will also be crack filling and repainting at 18 tennis and basketball courts around the city. The courts will be temporarily unavailable while the material dries. Any courts that offer lessons will have work completed late summer.
