The City Council awarded a construction contract to Bar Construction Co. Inc. not to exceed $3.9 million for a massive renovation of Happy Hill Park, which is funded by bonds voters approved in 2014. Much of what’s at the blighted park, including the pool that’s been closed for two years, will be removed. The renovated park will have a splash pad with water features, an adventure playground, two soccer fields, a nine-lane track, viewing terraces, new parking, picnic shelters and basketball courts. Construction is expected to begin this fall and last for one year. The park is expected to be closed during construction.
