University Park’s renovation will begin soon to improve the park’s paving, lighting, playground and basketball court and add much needed seating and picnic areas to the park. The renovation is made possible by the 2018 Bond.
The entire park will be closed for construction on or about October 1st. At that time, fences will be put in place to secure the entire project site for the contractor.
It will remain closed throughout the duration of the construction project with hopes of opening the park back up in the Fall of 2026
