The long-delayed and eagerly awaited Glen Canyon Renovation Project has begun. Large earthmovers and bulky debris containers now line a familiar walkway, which only a week or so ago paralleled tennis courts leading to the WPA-constructed Recreation Center. Several of the trees that dotted the slope heading up the hill toward Sussex Street are felled, waiting removal.

play area with state-of-the art recreation equipment, a new accessible restroom, new tennis courts, improved park paths and a vehicular drop-off on Elk Street for parents bringing their children to Glenridge Co-op Nursery School and Silver Tree Summer Camp.

While dog walkers, Glenridge parents and hikers may have to navigate around construction fencing, access to the multi-use 70-acre recreational open space in the heart of Glen Park remains easily accessible. A cyclone fence gate is readily available at Elk Street and Paradise Avenue. The Sussex Street steps have not been blocked by the contractor, who has also supplied a porta potty for park visitors’ convenience. The contractor is also obligated to maintain the six-to-10 saplings that will reside adjacent to the new tennis courts for a period of two years after the completion of the project.

The Rec Center is closed, as well, so a new heating system can be installed.

The project, paid for by the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, is scheduled for completion in November 2013.
