4.) Water Fountain
5.) Canary Wharf
6.) Clock Tower Remodeling
π Stamped Concrete is concrete that has been imprinted or that is patterned, textured, or embossed to resemble brick, stone, tile, wood or various other patterns or textures.
β οΈTo summarise 1,2 & 3 ment fixing the walk ways inside and around the park and making it look like natural stone. The water fountain will be relocated further down closer to the Town Hall. A new structure, the Canary wharf, will be built to serve as a stage with enhanced voice projection technique for louder outreach. The now standing tower will be increased by an additional 10 to 15 feet of height, plus the old clock will be modernized to a digital clock.
Other notes:
Β° The concrete benches that outline the walk ways will be demolished to open up for a more spacious area. However they will be adding new benches for proper resting.
Β° Solar lights will be added throughout the compound and flood lights will be added to the central circle.
Β° The benches around the bottom of the clock will be removed.
Β° The current swing set will not be touched. No other mention of further recreational equipment or elements.
Β° Flag pole will get a touch up and be incorporated in the new design
