CITY OF ROYAL OAKS: Normandy Oaks Park Update

By Press release submission

Dec 5, 2020

City of Royal Oaks issued the following announcement on Dec. 1.

This information is provided by Nowak & Fraus Engineers.

As the snow begins to fly, and construction largely winds down, we wanted to provide a recap of what was accomplished over the last few months on the park development project:

Completion of the playground structure
Completion of the pavilion building/restrooms
Completion of the bio-swale and pond grading and plantings
Completion of the westerly soccer field
Completion of the sledding hill
General completion of the perimeter walkway (final layer of paving to be completed in 2021)
Completion of the phase II natural area planting/trails and bridge placement
Installation of the splash pad plumbing

As winter sets in, the Contractor team is committed to continuing along with work that is not weather sensitive, such as:

Construction of the maintenance garage
Demolition of the old pump house
Installation of the easterly soccer field drainage piping
Once the spring arrives, the final list of required work will include:
Placement of the splash pad colored concrete and fencing
Installation of east soccer field irrigation, soil mix and seeding
Installation of the shade sails (foundations are in place)
Placement of the final layer of asphalt on the perimeter path and parking area
Removal of the existing property fence and brush (currently left in place for continued site security)
Final project cleanup

We hope that many of you were able to visit the project site during the recently held open house earlier this fall to see the work in progress. We look forward to a short winter, an early dry spring, and a quick and successful completion to this long awaited project!
