Big Rock Park Improvements

A wooden footbridge at Big Rock Park North with railings crosses over a grassy area in a park; playground equipment and a fenced-off section are visible in the background.

Phase I construction at Big Rock Park North was completed in 2016. The new playground boasts many exciting features including:

a zipline;
hillside slide;
boulder climb;
earth mound tunnel;
log steppers; and
creative building blocks.

Eighteen parking spaces were added, as well as a park entrance, boardwalk, and plaza overlooking a newly restored meadow.
