Park Updates

Follow along with improvements in and around the Park District.

2023 Capital Projects

Pine Park Enhancement

The school district has successfully stripped the entire area for the soccer fields and has begun bringing fill material to bring the area to the proper elevation.
HEPD staff completed tiling of areas on the sled hill that will be turned into natural grass for walking paths and passive areas. These areas will be seeded in the next couple of weeks (prior to 6/15/23).
HEPD staff has also completed the removal of all aspects of the inline hockey rink and will begin to backfill the areas where asphalt and concrete used to be. Once the areas are backfilled they will be seeded as well.

Project to be finished in spring of 2023.

Olmstead Park

Continuing the site renovation that started in 2019, the parks maintenance team will be removing the small baseball field backstop, foul line fencing, and concrete pads from the bleacher and bench areas. This will allow the team to complete replacement of the infield, expanding the turf area for youth soccer and increasing open use space.

Improvements to the entire open turf area will be completed in effort to improve drainage as well as provide a safer, more uniform playing surface.

We are looking to complete the improvements for program use this fall.
