Subject: Ringer Park: Construction Update + Opening Ahead
 
Dear friends and neighbors of Ringer Park,

We are excited to share that construction is nearing completion! Our contractor has done an excellent job navigating several unexpected challenges throughout the project. As a result, the overall schedule has only been delayed by a few months, and we currently anticipate opening the park in August.

When the park reopens, the pathways, playground, dog park, courts, and other amenities will be available for public use. However, newly seeded lawn areas will need to remain fenced off until the grass is sufficiently established, which in many locations may be until the end of the year. We appreciate your understanding as these areas go through this critical establishment period. The health and longevity of the lawns depend greatly on protecting the young grass while it takes root. While keeping the entire park closed would provide the greatest protection, we know how eager the community is to return and enjoy these new amenities. We therefore ask for your patience and cooperation in respecting the temporary lawn closures. By staying off the newly seeded areas, you will help ensure that lawn areas remain healthy and beautiful for years to come.

See the attached construction update for May and June, and go to the project webpage to find additional construction updates. Again thank you everyone! We appreciate the community’s continued patience and support as we work to deliver these improvements to Ringer Park.

Until soon,
Nellie
