February 2025:  Major sitework has begun at Jaycee Park, with the contractor conducting demolition of existing structures (pavilions, playgrounds, restrooms), removal of interior roads and walkways, and tree stump removal. This phase is expected to continue for several months.

While the renovation may cause some temporary inconvenience for nearby residents, the contractor will implement best management practices to minimize impacts. However, noise and dust are unavoidable byproducts of this work. A water truck will be used as needed to control dust, but residents should expect some dust in the area during construction.
