Kestrel Park Development

The sun shelter installation contract has been successfully bid and awarded to Greener Valley Landscaping.   The contractor is expected to start work on the shelter site sometime in July and by complete by September 1st.

Construction of the playground is complete. Seeding and site restoration around the playground will be complete around 10/7. Benches will be installed on the newly poured concrete pads in a few weeks, after the concrete has cured.

Additional work expected to be completed in Summer of 2025

• Shelter installation
• Managed meadow installation
• Park sign installation
• Tree planting
• Paving of path to playground and shelter

Parks crews plan to begin construction on or around September 9th. Work will include playground installation and the restoration of grass areas.

Parks currently anticipates work to begin to install the playground in September. While crews are there, they will also work on restoring areas to turfgrass. Unfortunately, we do not anticipate being able to install the sun shelter until next spring. 

Thank you to all who attended the public meetings and provided input. The design for the development of Kestrel Park has now been finalized. Final plans can be viewed below in the "Project Plans" section of this page.

Construction is currently anticipated to begin in August, with the construction of the playground. Along with playground construction, parks crews will also work to establish grass in the areas planned for mowed turf. Construction of the sun shelter is anticipated to occur in the fall. 

More detailed construction dates and timeframes will be posted here as they become available.

The second public meeting has been scheduled on Thursday, April 25 at 6:00pm via Zoom. Please REGISTER IN ADVANCE if you wish to attend.
