Hickory Hill Park renovation contract awarded
The Alpharetta-based CRS Building Corp. has won the contract to begin $1.43 million in renovations to Marietta's Hickory Hills Park, officials said. The improvements include tennis courts, a picnic shelter, play fields, restrooms, a walking track and a parking lot.
The work is funded by the $25 million 2009 parks referendum. Playground renovation bids aren't in yet, but officials expect the overall project to stay within the $1.75 million budget. Much of the 10.6-acre park, at 400 Chestnut Hill Rd., should open by January, with the grassy fields opening next summer.
