Electrostatic Painting:
-
- As part of the District’s FY24 Deferred Maintenance project list, several park fences and gates were electrostatically painted. Electrostatic painting is when a positive charged electron within the spray nozzle charges the paint particles then, because these particles all have a positive charge, they repel each other and break apart, resulting in a fine mist that coats evenly. The following locations received this specialized painting:
- Overlook Park tubular steel fence
- Hollow Oaks LLAD Emergency Road Gate
- Oak Knoll handrails
- Promontory Pipe Gates Park Parking Lot

Heritage Park Bocce Ball Court Renovation:

Sod Repair at Community Park North and South Field:
In June, Parks Staff completed sod repair at Community Park North and South fields. This work was needed to replace worn sections of turf which commonly occurs due to heavy foot traffic and sports.
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.
Stonegate LLAD Concrete Project
In April 2023, District contractors removed and replaced sections of the concrete sidewalks at Stonegate LLAD along Silva Valley Parkway that posed a significant safety hazard for residents due to lifts that had occurred due to trees and other landscaping in the area. 
Bertelsen Park Fire:
Due to the extensive damage sustained and the loss of power to the building, the water feature will remain closed indefinitely. Please visit our other water feature at Promontory Community Park located at 2700 Alexandra Drive, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762. A temporary restroom and hand wash station has been set up in the upper parking lot for park visitors to utilize during the building closure. A cause of the fire is under investigation.
Keep your eye out for an opening of a new District park this year!
