The Ann Arbor City Council has approved a $1.7 million budget to upgrade two parks on the west side of town.
Adam Fercho is the City of Ann Arbor’s Park Planner and Landscape Architect. He says South Maple Park will be seeing new tennis and pickleball courts after residents expressed dissatisfaction with the current two-in-one court.
He adds the new amenities will be in a different area since the original location is on a water reservoir. The project will also develop the currently vacant Dexter Road Park.
“There was a gap in the park system of having a basketball court over here, so we've worked with the Housing Commission in developing that site. In addition, we'll be putting in a pavilion over there and some picnic tables and benches and things like that.”
Fercho says work will begin later this spring or early summer.
