Pictured above: Final Design for the NEW All-Wheels Park
Based on feedback received during the public commenting period, the Township is excited to share this updated rendering of the NEW All-Wheels Park coming to the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre Park.
The design team was able to incorporate as much of the feedback received as possible including a concrete bowl (see element no. 14 above).
Construction commenced the week of September 26, 2022. Thanks to an extended autumn season, the contractor was able to complete approximately 75% of the concrete work. The remainder of the work, including landscaping and equipment installation will commence in the spring of 2023.
