Attendees of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting were given an update on the three major park renovations:

• MLK Park: Irrigation, hydroseeding, and hydromulching is complete but must stay off the grass for 2-3 months. Work on the ballfield will begin soon. The encircling walking path has been officially measured at 0.335 miles.
• Dunphy Park: Parking Lot should open in early October. 1000 cu yds of “dirty” soil must be removed and new soil brought in. In October, then planting and irrigation will commence. Hydroseeding will be done at the end of October or early November. Then everyone must stay off the grass for 2-3 months.
• Southview Park: This project hasn’t started in order to focus resources on Dunphy (it’s the same contractor). In fact, it may not get started until after the rains stop.
