Latest News

Construction for West Prairie Creek started in late August 2022. Construction is expected to be complete in April 2024, with some additional time needed for restoration of the park. Completion was pushed back due to unexpected concrete work that is needed for the road base.

Work includes paving improvements, underground utility and drainage improvements, curb extensions at Lookout Drive, and parking enhancements on West Prairie Creek Drive.
