Warren Park Improvement Project

The park improvement project will include a new nature area in the southern area of Warren Park, which will feature play areas with wooden logs, a stage, and a landscaped walking path and vine tunnel at the entrance

The athletic upgrades will include four pickleball courts, two volleyball courts, and new baseball and cricket batting cages, as well a renovated cricket field with artificial turf and lighting. The project will also include renovations to the shuffleboard, horseshoe and bocce ball courts.

The bocce ball court will get a new turf surface, and the area surrounding all three courts will be overhauled to be more accessible, Walther said. That includes new accessible seating and pathways around the courts.
