Dalmore Park Progress Report
- Details
- Created: 01 July 2009
The construction documents for the improvements to Dalmore Park have been submitted to the City of Dublin Land Use and Long Range Planning and Zoning Commission for review. That review will take place on Thursday, August 6th.
If no major revisions are required, the project should be put out to bid in mid-August with a contractor secured in September. The actual start of construction will be dependent on the contractor's work load. But due to the current economic slowdown, Dublin officials are optimistic that substantial progress can be made this fall, with final touch-up work next spring.
Once complete, Dalmore Park will feature a basketball court, a bocce ball court, a playground surrounded by a low stone wall, bike racks and much-improved landscaping.
City landscape architects intend to plant weeping willows around the pond's edge, hoping the branch movement will discourage the geese from using the pond. Click here for a detailed planting plan.
The existing shelter house will be refurbished, with a ceiling added to conceal the trusses, currently a favorite spot for bird roosting. Posts will be dressed up with trim and railings will be added around the perimeter.
