Project Description
Phase two of the Windmill Hill Park Project will focus on the west side of Windmill Hill Park adjacent to the Wilkes Street Tunnel and Wilkes Street right-of-way. Anticipated improvements include park accessibility, renovations to the existing playgrounds in compliance with current playground safety standards, improvements to the turf areas, the addition of an irrigation system, stabilization of the slope north of the playground, and creation of on-site bioretention facilities for improved stormwater management.
This project was proposed as part of the Windmill Hill Park Concept Plan approved by City Council in April 2003. Phase one – the Windmill Hill Park Shoreline project was completed in 2018.
