Brookhaven’s “Year of Progress” continues with construction on Ashford Park’s new tricycle track. The project began Sept. 18 and is expected to take about two weeks to complete, weather pending.

“The idea for building a tricycle track in Ashford Park was conceived during the public master plan process, and we are thrilled to see it come to fruition,” said Brookhaven Parks and Recreation Director Brian Borden. “This addition to our popular park will provide another outlet for our community’s youth to creatively recreate.”

The project was awarded to Pro Building Systems in the amount of $9,840, which is in the city’s established project budget. The work will involve converting an existing concrete pathway into a tricycle track for children using colored stain and traffic marking paint on top of the existing concrete. This includes pressure washing, and the application of concrete stain and traffic marking paint.

The entire park, including the playground and the sandbox, will remain open during construction, although access to some areas may be limited.
