Spross Park Improvements
The
public works personnel have made great strides in making
many improvements in Spross Park.
The park now includes new sidewalks and pedestrian
bridges which are wheel chair accessible, and the new
parking area for the community and visitors which also
has Handicap/Van Accessible parking. Residents and
visitors now can enjoy a
solid path leading from the parking lot to the pavilion
and play equipment in the park.
In
addition to the structural work for improved access in
the park, enhancements of the landscape have been made
as well, and will continue in the future. Our goal is to
bring out the sheer beauty in Spross Park and have
future recreation
activities for our children and adults.
The City parks is an integral component of our community
providing numerous recreation opportunities that help to
improve the quality of life for us all.
The
following is a list of park improvements that was
promised and which has been performed in 2007 to 2010:
The most recent
improvements to Spross Park was the asphalt surface on
the walk trail which was completed in 2010, this trail
has a scenic view walking the winding area, a park bench
was added in addition to storm water drain.
The water fall has now been
sealed, a concrete tank will be install by the d
under ground to provide water storage and
recirculation as it flows from the top to the bottom, we
hope to have the water fall flowing by mid-summer.
As promised city public works personnel installed a new concrete surface on the basketball court for kids and adults to use as part of their recreation, the new surface will bring many more years of enjoyment for the community and visitors.
Additional Landscaping throughout the park was done with money from businesses of the community.
A grant has made it possible for the city personnel to install a new playground area at the top of Spross park. This play area is enclosed with a 4 foot chain link fence to help protect the children from wondering off, and the play area is covered with a blue color rubber mulch which helps reduce injuries from a fall in addition, Mike Hite of our building division created the new pavilion which can be used for the community, efforts from all areas of the city personnel has made this park even more beautiful.
