The Parks and Recreation Department worked collaboratively with community members to develop a park renovation plan to improve park safety and increase recreational opportunities for family gatherings and casual play at the Eastside Neighborhood Park.
The project is being completed in phases as funding allows. Phase 1 includes the replacement of the existing playground for children ages 2-5, completed in January 2023, and the addition of a new playground for children ages 5-12, expected to open in early summer. This phase will also include the installation of adult fitness equipment and an accessible pedestrian walkway to connect park features. Phase 2 will focus on improvements to the community garden space, guided by input from the gardeners.
