At Arrowhead Park, located at 1220 Irvington Drive, the site is being prepared for new play areas and a field, picnic <br />tables, benches and a shelter, basketball courts, paths and nature trails, and many new trees to buffer the natural area <br />along Flat Creek. So far, the site has been cleared, graded and excavated. Brown Construction is doing the work and the <br />company hopes to complete the job by mid-October. <br /> <br />In south Eugene at 3300 University Street, near the West Amazon Parkway, Milton Park is already taking shape. This <br />small but lovely neighborhood park will be substantially improved with better paths into the park, play equipment and an <br />open grass play area, benches, new trees and plants, and new irrigation to maintain the landscaped areas. So far, all <br />excavation has been completed, most of the concrete work has been finished and the irrigation system is currently being <br />installed. Local construction contractor Triton Group is also working closely with Sperry Arborists to help preserve the <br />large oaks on the site during construction. The park is expected to be completed in September. <br /> <br />The contract and construction schedule for Frank Kinney Park, located at the southern tip of Amazon Parkway, is <br />pending. Approximately 95 percent of this neighborhood park is dedicated to the preservation of native riparian and <br />meadow habitat. The new park plan calls for minimal development--improved access via new pathways, bridge, and <br />sidewalks, as well as basic amenities such as a small children's playground, benches, and improvements to the Rexius <br />Trail. A community volunteer project, sponsored by REI, has already been scheduled in late September to resurface 475 <br />linear feet of the running trail. <br /> <br />For more information about the design of Awbrey or Milton parks, contact Park Planner Philip Richardson at 682-4906. <br />For more information about the design of Arrowhead or Frank Kinney parks, contact Park Planner Robin Hostick at <br />682-4915.
