See Soehrman Park Improvements

September 2023

  • Poured in place rubber surfacing was installed and safety drop testing performed
  • Final landscaping was completed
  • We are currently scheduling a final walk-through with our contractor to note any minor details that need to be addressed but the park is fully functional at this point

Unfortunately, we experienced some vandalism to the surfacing before it was cured completely. The repairs were done which pushed the opening of the park back by a week. The park opened on September 22 and has been enjoyed by a number of visitors. Thank you for your patience during construction and please enjoy this improvement to your park.
