Dixon Street Park Project Overview

City Council approved the master plan for the new recreation complex on November 13, 2002. The master plan has three phases starting with the development of outdoor athletic fields and the associated infrastructure and amenities.

Phase I - Includes fields, roads, pathways, restrooms, a wetland protection and nature area, playgrounds, shelters, parking, and a maintenance facility. Grand opening September 2005.

Phase II - Includes the design and construction of an outdoor family aquatic facility. We will be selecting the contractor this fall, with ground breaking for the Aquatic Facility next spring 2006.

Phase III - Includes the construction of a comprehensive, multi-purpose Community Center.
