Phase 1 of the Central Park Master Plan was the completion of Lake Ole and parking lot north of Liberty Elementary. Lake Ole isn't just a park amenity, it is the engineered drainage pond for the entire current and future Central Park area. Its completion was requirement to make any further improvements to Central Park.
Phase 2 of the Central Park Master Plan consisted mostly of grading and dirt work. Other permanent improvements in Phase 2 included installation of additional sidewalk, City Staff is worked with the Harrisburg Baseball Association to install 4 new tee-ball fields. Including the loss of 2 of the existing tee-ball fields we ended with 6 tee-ball fields in the Summer of 2022. Private funding through the Harrisburg Community Foundation and Baseball Association also contributed to the building of a new concession stand and announcer booth. Additional improvements could be added as public funds and private donations become available.
Below is the Central Park Master Plan that was adopted by the City Council on December 20th, 2023. There is also video of the presentation by David Locke, Landscape Architect, Stockwell Engineers. Please take time to review it, and write down your questions along the way.
