The Parks Conservancy has just finished its first summer managing Hamilton's Parks, and while the constant rain kept us busy mowing much of that time, we've still made significant permanent improvements to the parks’ infrastructure.
At Millikin Woods, we replaced a shelter that had been destroyed by vandals’ fire several years ago. We have also laid the foundation for three new shelters in Millikin Woods and have plans in place to add a “sprayground” next summer.
You will be able to see a drastic improvement in Crawford Woods Park when we have a grand-reopening in the spring. We will not only dedicate a sprayground for the neighborhood children, but we have also built a new restroom and replaced three shelters that were practically in ruins -- as well as a major upgrade of the parking lot. The difference is astounding!
We are also quite proud of the rejuvenation of the old Wilson Pool site as Jim Grimm Park, not only with a sprayground but a whole new playground set thanks to the generosity of the Hamilton Community Foundation.
And as a matter of public safety, we have installed security cameras in some of our parks, especially those that attract a lot of children, such as the parks with spraygrounds.
We've still got a lot lined up for 2016, including the construction of Marcum Park, which we know will make an excellent companion park to the RiversEdge Amphitheater.
Here's a slide show with some before and after pictures of some of the construction projects we've worked on this year. It's easy to tell which are "before" and which are "after"!
The energy and joy in this update about a packed summer really made me smile — it’s inspiring to see a community embracing events, improvements, and togetherness after so much planning and hard work. I’ve been trying to enjoy my own busy months too, but balancing summer activities with my dissertation left me constantly torn between wanting to be outside and feeling tied to my laptop. Eventually, I decided to seek dissertation help london, and it honestly gave me the breathing space to enjoy the season fully — letting me focus on those meaningful moments instead of feeling guilty about falling behind academically.
The Stranger Things Outfits are such a fun way to celebrate the series this winter. The styles are cool, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to pair with everyday clothes. I love how each outfit feels both nostalgic and fashionable.
It’s great to see how much effort has gone into improving these parks. The upgrades sound amazing, especially the new spraygrounds! Reading about this transformation reminded me of how eCommerce product content writing works at Paysomeone To. It’s all about rebuilding and refreshing things to make them more engaging and meaningful.
Looks like you’ve packed your summer with meaningful work and community energy. At some point during my own academic “busy season,” I turned to affordable assignment support and trusted Engineering dissertation writers to help outline technical sections while I stayed engaged in real-life commitments, sharing this because balance is hard but doable.
Sounds like you really made the most of summer busyness in a good way! When my timetable got overwhelming, I reached out to Take My Online Exam Pro to take my online Business studies exam. Their structured approach and calm support helped me stay grounded amidst the chaos.
