The park is being redone in 3 phases I believe. The first is a new and larger playground and a small amphitheatre on the bend of Hollis St. which is what the work has started on.
"The key features of the plan include:
Formal Park in the northern section of the site: preserve the original layout of the central promenade, diagonal pathways and plaza space around the Cornwallis sculpture. Provide a higher quality of materials, lighting, park amenities and landscaping, with more open, flexible hard surface paving that can host a variety of public activities.
Widen the sidewalk along Hollis Street for food vending and sidewalk activities
Develop an elliptical path that unifies the circulation, introduces more seating along the edges, and begins to organize future commemorative elements and public art pieces from various cultural groups (as started with the Ukrainian Immigrants Vytaiemo Memorial)
Special Event area – re-grade the former playground area in the southeast corner to create an amphitheater with terraced lawn seating and hard surface paving for a small scale performance area. This space is to be flexible and multifunctional for events and also be enjoyed for more passive activities on a daily basis.
Playground – develop a themed playground that fits with the aesthetics of the urban park and heritage area, and offers unique play experiences."
