Park & Facility Improvement Projects
The projects listed below are more routine deferred maintenance projects.

Spring Sports Field Maintenance:

Each year, as we emerge from winter, District staff begin to concentrate their efforts on the rejuvenation of sports fields. During this time, staff complete aerating, fertilizing, weed treatments, top dressing, dethatching and any other projects to help maximize the playability and overall performance of the sports turf. This type of maintenance occurs through June as some fields, specifically at school sites, aren’t available for this maintenance to occur until after school is let out for summer break. The photo below shows top dressing in progress at Community Park in April.

St. Andrews Village Sign Replacement:

Due to significant weathering, District staff have replaced the ‘St. Andrews Village’ entrance sign at the corner of St. Andrews Drive and Tam O’Shanter Drive. The new sign, designed and built by Parks Staff, has been treated with a high-quality stain that should help it last for many years to come.

Creekside Greens Park LED Lighting Upgrade:

In an effort to improve security and modernize lighting, the District installed new LED light fixtures at Creekside Greens Park. These lights come with a motion activation sensor that when triggered will brighten up the area where motion has been detected. These motion sensors have become standard in renovation of existing light fixtures and are installed at new park sites such as the new Blackstone Park, which is slated to open in 2023
