Nicholson Park Construction Continues
The $8.8 million renovation at Nicholson
Park continues to make progress.
Among the improvements at the 9.5-
acre park are a new entry way and
parking lot for easier access, a new
baseball field, lighting throughout the
park, a walking path, new restrooms,
concession stands and a universal
playground.
The project remains on schedule to be
completed, and the park re-opened by
Spring 2025.
Cross Street Bridge Taken Down
The Cross Street Bridge was demolished yesterday
as part of the project to replace the structurally
unsound bridge near Conejo Drive.
The bridge replacement project was approved by the
Council earlier this year and will include the
restoration of part of the Fairfax Elementary School
playground, which is being used as a temporary
access road to the neighborhood affected by the
bridge closure.
The bridge replacement and playground restoration
are expected to be completed by April of 2025.
