Hello Woodlawn Park patrons! The developer for Beaver Cove (which is the new housing development going in immediately west of Woodlawn Park) plans to start utility work in the park on Wednesday, August 2nd. This will take approximately two weeks to complete. The work will include installing new sanitary sewer pipe with manholes, installing new storm sewer pipe with manholes, constructing a new headwall along the sidewalk from the parking lot into the park, and the installation of a new sidewalk connection from the new development to the park. Access along at least one of the sidewalks from the parking lot to the park facilities will remain open during the construction. So please continue to enjoy Woodlawn Park during this period of construction! As always, if you see anything that needs attention, just comment on here or private message this page.
