SOWA Neighborhood Park Update
February 4, 2009
Our neighborhood park is finally on it’s way! Portland Parks and Recreation sent out a new advisory on the state of the neighborhood park today. It essentially details that due to the economic climate the construction bids came in UNDER projected costs, thus freeing up additional funds to add back in amenities that were originally cut due to the price tags. Here are the amenities being added back into the South Waterfront Neighborhood Park:
> Formal Bocce Ball Court.
> Movable tables and chairs.
> Plant larger, more mature plants than originally planned.
> Apply soil amendments to all lawn areas.
>Steel edging for plant beds to help retain their form.
So – most importantly – here is the current construction schedule for the park:
March – July 2009: Construction
August 2009: Construction Complete – Urban Garden, Naturalized Area and paths open
August – Sept 2009: Lawn Establishment Period
October 2009: All Park Areas Open!
