GIDDENS PARK UP TO DATE ~  AS OF JUNE 3, 2008

From the city, concerning Gidden's Park

Giddens Interactive Water Feature: The equipment has been tested and has passed its final electrical inspection per the COT Electrical Inspector. The final plumbing inspection is scheduled, but not completed as of yet. The water jets have been installed and the adjacent concrete surface repaired.  The next stage will be the surfacing of the splash pad area with the "compass rose" design (yellow, green and blue) and the surrounding circular sidewalk (beige). Work is expected to start in the next several weeks.

 

We have the PO for gazebo and it takes approx 8-10 weeks for manufacturing.  During that time, we will get it through permitting then it will take about 2-3 weeks to build the raised platform and erect the unit.

 

The PO for additional sidewalks from the shelter/restroom area to the new gazebo and around the multipurpose court to connect to the sidewalk on Giddens Avenue.  This will be installed after the gazebo to avoid contraction impacts to the sidewalk and because the sidewalk ramps up the raised base of the gazebo to provide barrier-free access on the east side of the gazebo.
