The purpose of this LTC is to notify the City Commission that the Parks and Recreation
Department will be temporarily closing some areas of South Pointe Park, with particular
emphasis on the hills, to perform landscaping improvements. The project shall consist
of sod removal, surface grading and the installation of new sod. After grading and
installation, which shall take approximately one week, the newly sodded areas will
remain closed for an additional estimated three to four weeks, in order to allow proper
rooting and establishment.
During this period, our Athletics Manager will work with fitness instructors and park
patrons to identify alternate workout locations. Through this collaboration, which shall
continue beyond the duration of this project, our parks greenspace improvement efforts
will prove resilient and sustainable over the long term.
The project is expected to commence on Monday, April 24, 2017, and should be
completed by Friday, May 26, 2017, weather permitting.
Should you have additional questions, please contact Jose del Risco at 305-673-7730.
