Hamilton Park to Officially Re-open Thursday
By Jon Whiten • May 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog, News
The renovation of Hamilton Park, which got started on April 30, 2009, is finally coming to a close with an official re-opening slated for Thursday, May 27 at noon.
The nearly $3.2 million renovation includes a comprehensive subsurface drainage system; a new
playground and “sprayground” for children with separate toddler areas; two fenced dog runs, new Victorian-style decorative lighting; a community garden; new tennis, basketball and multi-use courts; and new benches, tables and drinking fountains. The city also renovated the gazebo in the center of the park.
The daytime grand re-opening and ribbon cutting will reportedly be followed by live music at the Parkside Bistro on Erie Street beginning at 6 pm.
