The Manager's report back on revitalization of Gannett-Warren Pals Park

In response to the above awaiting report the following improvements have been made at the Gannett-Warren Pals Park on Jefferson Street: (1) The large rubber surface has been completed replaced around the primary playground in the park.

This work was completed during the spring of 2018. (2) Umbrellas have been added to the various picnic benches and tables.

Such were added earlier this summer and have provided more shade for families and neighbors who use the park. (3) The underbrush was thinned substantially to provide a reasonable view corridor from the street and playground area of the park to the water play and green area at the rear of the park. This work was completed in the spring of 2018 and allows parents better keep an eye on children and provides less opportunity for anti- social behavior at the rear of the park. (4) Finally, the water play in the area has been turned on throughout the entire summer between dawn and dusk. The entire control system needs to be rebuilt this fall and winter and such is presently being scheduled.
