The Waterfront Park construction project is set to be completed by mid-August this year.

So far, crews have cleared ground for a 60-by-100-foot concrete pad and started the dredging process for the new kayak launch, according to a press release from the city.

Eric Gebo, a city government stormwater and engineering architect, said the contractor is working to protect the park’s natural flora.

“With all the construction happening at this beautiful park … the contractor has been diligent in trying to protect as many of the historic trees and underbrush existing on the site as possible,” Gebo said.

The dredged material will be reused at the future Southern Recreation Center, Gebo said.

While construction is ongoing, the park remains open to residents, who can use the shell path during construction, the press release said.
