Park Walking Path Paving Project Starts Thursday, May 28 - Friday, June 5

The WCID110 Board of Directors unanimously voted to improve accessibility throughout Forest Oaks Park by paving all current crushed granite walking paths with new asphalt. This project is scheduled to begin on Thursday, May 28 and, weather permitting, be completed by no later than Friday, June 5.

Our current crushed granite walking paths have, over time, become a burden for maintenance due to deterioration of path edges, trees roots, depressions, and rising costs of new material. By asphalting these paths, we expect them to be more accessible for more park users, allow users to expand where they travel throughout the park, be easier to maintain for our staff, and provide a safer, more level surface for everyone. These new paths will be 6' wide and 2" thick.

The project will be completed in sections so as to not close down entire sections of the park at once. Please stay alert and aware of caution tape/barriers/cones indicating where the project will be working throughout the coming days. Please not go into areas if they are blocked.
