Phase one improvements to the Fifth Street Park are near completion with installation of artificial turf one remaining priority when the weather allows. But there are multiple phases ahead.

In phase two Quality Play for All spokesman Kendall Schoenrock said officials will move into that part of the project this summer. “What we’re fundraising now for is phase two. Phase two is going to include a new basketball court which will be on the west side of the walking trail, a covered pavilion, potentially a sand volleyball court, just a long term strategy for Playground Park. ” It will be a five-phase plan.

Future phase improvements will range from upgraded parking to a stage on the east side of the walking trail. That stage would allow groups and other events to occur.
