Hamilton Park
Plans on Display
Tomorrow, (Wednesday August 30th), there will be an opportunity for the public to view the architect drawings for the renovation of historic Hamilton Park and provide feedback to our city officials. The meeting will take place in the former St. Francis Hospital, located directly on the park between Eighth & Ninth streets at 7 p.m.
The initial drawing is based on surveys completed last year and will include moving current structures that exist in the park now, as well as adding more. In order to accommodate the space needed for relocating/adding structures would also require removing several trees. I would like residents to be aware of what is involved as the trees will be chopped down in great numbers in order to provide space.
It's a small, residential park located in the historic district and is surrounded by turn of the century brownstones and brick row houses. Structures should be kept to a minimum and be based on our residents 'top' needs as it's not possible to pack everything in without removing trees.
Any resident concerned about what is being planned for this park renovation or concerned that large, historic trees will be cut in Hamilton Park, I urge you to attend this meeting.
