Fall 2022 Updates

• Jim Corcoran passed away on June 14, 2022, at the age of 81. His service was held at the Boys & Girls Club, where he had coached and sponsored athletic teams for many years, on 23 July 2022.
• The playground structures were installed by a contractor in May 2022
• The planned fall safety surfacing has been changed from Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) “wood chips” to rubber playground tiles like Logan Park’s playground. This will have the following benefits:
  • Much better accessibility
  • Much less required maintenance
  • Longer serviceability 
  • Improved drainage
• Parks Maintenance staff is installing the base rock and landscape portions of the playground. 
• Bidding is being conducted by Purchasing Division for:
  • Rubber playground surfacing tiles have been acquired
  • Installation of a solid subsurface and the rubber playground tiles
  • Installation of the 6’ privacy fence along the east boundary is pending contract documents
  • Demolition of the property’s structures and other debris will go to bid shortly
• The majority of the landscape elements have been installed including granite boulders, top soil, trees, and shrubs.
• Future development elements are being evaluated based on the newly available space, limitations of the neighborhood & site access, and the stated needs/wants of the neighborhood as raised in the past public meetings. 

Corcoran Park will be opened to the public after all the following elements are completed:

• Completion of the playground, surfacing and associated landscaping and access paths
• Installation of the fence along the east boundary
• Removal of all structures and debris
