Jackson Park to Get $2 Million Upgrade

BREC has announced $2 million in improvements to Jackson Park, located on Sullivan Road just north of Hooper.
Mayor David Barrow said, “BREC’s Jackson Park will be redeveloped as a Community Park with walking paths, exercise equipment, a new recreation building, paved parking, a new playground, basketball court, and more.”
Some of the improvements will be made in 2019 and the remainder in 2020. The work is being split to avoid interference with summer camp at the facility.
The plans include a new recreation center with better designed space, natural light with beautiful views, and an emphasis on integrating indoors and outdoors.
BREC said the project will have “Artfully designed large open spaces, a new multi-purpose field, sculpted topography with masses of new tree plantings, an outdoor fitness area, new architectural pavilions, new paved entry and parking, unique site furnishings, boardwalks, and improved drainage, which will also be part of these new improvements.”
According to BREC, work on the project during 2019 will include
• New arrival and parking area featuring the elements of best practices in stormwater management, segments of new walkways, outdoor fitness area, other site improvements and furnishings.
The second phase in 2020 will include
• New playground, all walks, new pavilion, site furnishings, and the new recreation center.
BREC is a state agency established by state law funded by property taxes.
