Bohn Park UpdateConstruction to ResumeIn March 2019, the preliminary environmental studies for Phase II of the Bohn Park Recovery Project were cleared, and construction will resume. The contractor has already begun mobilizing on the area, and clearing, grubbing, and grading is anticipated to begin the first week of April.
Construction on the skatepark is tentatively scheduled to begin in late April 2019, following the completion of the preparatory groundwork. The preferred alternative (from community feedback), known as Option 3 and includes a half pipe was approved by the Board of Trustees at their March 18 meeting. See the latest skatepark design below.
Phase II will remain closed to the public throughout the entire construction phase; however, the completed and currently open area of Bohn Park, known as Phase 1 (northern portion) will remain open. Enjoy!

LaVern M. Johnson & Bohn Parks' New Features
Throughout the month, LaVern M. Johnson and Bohn Park visitors may notice a few changes. On April 4, a welcome gatehouse will be installed near the entrance of LaVern M. Johnson Park. During events, weekends, and busy days, a staff member will occupy the gatehouse, who will welcome guests, answer questions, and assist with parking overflow. A welcome tent will also be installed in Bohn Park and staffed during weekends and high-volume days.
Beginning in May, LaVern M. Johnson Park will also be supported by an additional park host. The upcoming park host site will be located on the northwest side of the RV camping area, supplementing the current park host, located on the northeast side of the RV lot. Over the next few weeks, contractors will be installing utilities at the new park host site.
A Word of Thanks!The Town would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation during the LaVern M. Johnson closure in March. The Town is also appreciative to the Parks and Public Works team, for the work accomplished. During the four-day closure, the team graded all camp sites, poured a concrete pad for the gatehouse, installed new gates and signs, and began trail work (ongoing).
