Lange Park is completed

Lange Park has been completed. This neighborhood park has a playground, open playfield (good for pickup soccer games, kite flying or just running around on) and a non-reservable shelter (first come/first serve).

There's also a walking trail that when used with the sidewalk along Smiley Lane is 1/3 of mile.

Don't forget about the 400 meter track as well. As part of the agreement with Lange Middle School, Parks and Recreation built the track. During non school hours it's available for public use. The track is located behind the classroom trailer on the top of the hill.

Wrapping up work at Lange Park

With the drying weather the construction crew has made a lot of progress over the last month or so. The Shelter has been completed and the concrete walkways have been poured. There is still final dress up (removal of construction debris, re-grading excess soil) and landscaping (over seed the play field, removal of silt fence). But it's getting very close to completion.

Work on Lange Shelter continues

Work on the shelter for Lange Park continues. The good weather has helped to keep construction moving along. The trusses, sheathing and tar paper are up. Work on the soffit is next.

Lange Park shelter under construction

The shelter for Lange Park is under construction. Hopefully the good weather will continue so that work can continue.

The seeding done earlier is coming in nicely. There will some need for spot seeding next spring but hopefully most of it will really take off after this winter.

Lange Park update

The weather has cooperated and the work at Lange Park and on the track for Lange Middle School is going well.

The site grading for the park has been completed and most of the trail is in. We have our building permit for the shelter and work will begin on it soon. Seeding of disturbed areas will start soon as well.

The rock work for the track has been completed. There is some touch up along the edges and some seeding in a swale to be done. The swale, behind the trailers, will correct a drainage problem and get runoff to move to the existing inlet.

Lange Park Playground is open

The playground at Lange Park is open for "business". The playground was installed last week. This week a Parks and Rec crew got most of the curbing installed and got the safety mulch put in. There are no concrete walks yet so if it's wet it will be muddy. Lange Park is located on Smiley Lane near the entrance to Lange Middle School.

Lange Neighborhood Park

Construction of the new Lange Park began last week. The Playground has been installed and the area for the shelter has been graded. construction of the curbing around the playground has started. Hopefully a couple dry days will allow for the playground mulch to be delivered.

The first part of the running track at Lange Middle School has been started as well. This 400 meter three lane track will be used by the school PE and athletic clubs during school hours. During non-school use it will be available for the public.
