\t\t\tNosy Neighbor: What\u2019s going on with the lawn at Washington Market Park<\/p>\n

T. wrote early this month: \u201cAn update on the field at WMP would be great. We walked by for the first time in awhile (our kids are older now) and noted it is mostly dirt with no fence around it. Would love to hear what the plan is for the grass!\u201d<\/p>\n

I sat on this long enough that the Parks Department answered it for me, (but they were also late \u2014 the sod is usually laid down much earlier in the season). The Washington Market Park lawn area was sodded over the weekend \u2014 in fact the job should be done by today. This is the first time since 2023 that the park has gotten sod. Last year was skipped while the park was closed to replace the paths, and the year before that was skipped when the paving project was *supposed* to happen.<\/p>\n

These rains and cool weather are well timed \u2014 let\u2019s hope it stays that way for the six to eight weeks the sod needs to knit. During that time the lawn will be closed.<\/p>\n
