🛝 Big things happening at Marie Dorian Park!

Here's where we're at:
✅ New sidewalk poured
✅ Changes to the irrigation system
✅ Curbing installed around the playground area
✅ Old swings removed
✅ Roofing contractor on board

None of this happens without great people — a huge thank you to our Public Works and Electric department staff who have been hands-on throughout this project. Their work is what makes projects like this possible!

Playground equipment will be installed in the next couple of weeks — but it won't be open until the rubber mulch arrives. Portions of the park will be closed as the playground equipment is installed and the roofs on the buildings are replaced.

We appreciate your patience as work continues!
