In late July, the longterm effort by FOSEL to redesign and refresh the park finally bore fruit: Construction equipment arrived and workers began to dismantle the broken pavement and brick seating areas.  According to Lauren Bryant of the Parks Department, the contractor will then put in the concrete pavement, install new benches and tables and put back in the metal seats that had been there before.  At some point during the process prune the trees will be pruned and the soil will be amended once the paving work is complete. The park is expected to re-open in mid-fall.
