Plan ahead! Starting on Thursday 6/4 the portion of our parking lot closest to the pond will be closed for construction. There will be temporary ADA accessible parking spots in the middle row of the lot during that construction time. The previous construction that blocked the shared entrance with City Hall should conclude before Thursday.
