Public project to demolish all existing park facilities and recreational equipment on-site and construct two new soccer fields, lawn practice areas, a kids’ soccer area, a play area, four pickleball courts, one futsal/pickleball/basketball court, and two new horseshoe pitches. The redeveloped park would also include a picnic area, restrooms, a pedestrian paseo, two gravel surface parking lots, a 525-square-foot maintenance building and a storage shed. The project would also vacate Spring Street between West Taylor Street and Ashbury Street, reconfigure Irene, Asbury, and Walnut Streets to a one-way loop road around the site. The project would remove all 105 existing trees and plant 133 new 24-inch box trees.
