Short Summary
Kelly Road Park is currently undergoing renovations, including updates to the KidsTowne playground, which is in the pre-design phase with an anticipated completion date yet to be determined. Additionally, starting January 1, 2026, we will pilot expanded morning operational hours at the park, allowing access to all entrance gates at any time.
Detailed Summary
Kelly Road Park, our beloved 25-acre community space, is undergoing renovations to enhance its facilities and amenities. This park, located at 1609 Kelly Road, features playgrounds for different age groups, picnic areas, sports courts, and a softball field. The renovations will specifically focus on updating the KidsTowne playground, ensuring that it remains a safe and enjoyable place for our children to play.
As part of the improvements, I want to highlight that we are also launching a pilot initiative starting January 1, 2026, which will expand our morning operational hours. During this pilot, all park entrance gates will be open at all hours, allowing you greater access to enjoy the park at your convenience. This initiative will run for up to eight months, and we hope it will encourage more residents to take advantage of our outdoor spaces.
For those interested in reserving a picnic shelter or learning about field rentals, you can find all the necessary information online. If you have any questions about the renovation project or other park features, feel free to reach out to Angela Reincke, who is leading the project. Your input and involvement are vital as we work to make Kelly Road Park an even better place for our community.
