We now have a plan for Phase 2 of the park improvements and are looking forward to construction starting this fall, after the HVRA Fall Fair.  Details include:

• extension of the eastern boundary of the park to the outer sidewalk on Brunswick Ave.
• enhancements to the wading pool, including boulders and a new water-filling mechanism at the edge of the pool
• shade structure with seating at south edge of wading pool
• new accessible chess table
• additional benches
• relocation of existing bench to face the sand pit
• new log curbs at park perimeter to contain woodchips and stray soccer balls
• enhancements to existing play structures on west side of park (the sideways tree and "wacky posts")
• water source in sand pit, and new "jug filler" to replace existing water fountain
• plantings throughout the park (trees, shrubs and perennials)

Here are 3D renderings of some of the details, thanks to Bienenstock.
