The existing park located at 85 Reade Street is getting an upgrade in 2024!


New features:

  • New seating and picnic areas to provide excellent vantage points to supervise the playground and other park activities.
  • New asphalt walking paths across the park to better encourage year-round access and to connect Reade Street to Jones Street.
  • A new pathway through the passive park area on the east side of the park with a grassed open space play area.
  • A reconstructed multi-use sports court to provide opportunities for pickleball (4 courts), tennis (1 court), and ball hockey.
  • A new ½ basketball court and a new all wheels area.
  • Preservation of green space by planting more trees and installing a rain garden.
  • Upgrades to the playground area to improve drainage as well as the addition of two new spinners and a spring toy.

  • Share Are there going to be any updated/upgrades to the playground area? The playground module should be updated, the big slides are bumpy and warped, some of the parts are rusting and it floods like crazy when it rains (like 10 inches deep in some spots). There is so much space/opportunity for better, and multiple, modules for the neighborhood kids to play on!

    Good morning, 

    Thank you for voicing your concerns and your opinion. 

    Unfortunately the playground will not be updated in this phase, but we will keep that in consideration for future upgrades to the park. 

    As for the skating rink, there is insufficient area in the vicinity of the water box for a rink. The most logical place would've been on the courts but they are in a different section across the street. 

    Let us know if you have any other questions. 

    Kind regards,
    Michelle
