As reported in a prior issue of our e-newsletter, improvements to both of the Village's public parks will commence next week right after the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

In Wadsworth Park, the playground and swing set equipment will be replaced and the new play area will contain turf surfacing.  The basketball and tennis courts will also be redone as they have cracked significantly in recent years.  Other improvements include a shade shelter adjacent to the play area and two sets of baggo/cornhole goals next to the existing shelter.

In Orchard Park (west side of town), the existing swing set will remain while new play equipment will be installed in the vicinity of the swing set.  The new play area will be enclosed within a concrete curbed border and will contain wood chip surfacing.  

In both parks, tree plantings will finish off the improvements sometime this fall.  During construction, the adjacent parking lots may have to close to allow for construction staging.   Please excuse the inconvenience of the park shutdowns (east end of Wadsworth Park will remain open), but the end result will be worth the wait!  Estimated completion time frame for the park improvements is mid-August of this year.

2018 Roadway Improvements-

 

The Village's 2018 Road Program is also set to commence next week after the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

This year's program includes the repaving of all of the roads within the Willows of Wadsworth Subdivision as well as the chip sealing of 21st Street from Delany Road to Kilbourne Road and on 9th Street from Delany Road to the Union Pacific Railroad.  It is anticipated that the above work shall be completed by the end of July.

Over the course of the next month, the Village will be assessing our roadways in efforts to determine potential locations in which to perform pavement patching and crack sealing activities upon.  Such work most likely will commence later in the summer.

If you have any questions about our 2018 Road Program, please send an e-mail to info@villageofwadsworth.org.  Thank you in advance for your patience during the upcoming construction season.

 

This year's Wadsworth Farmer's Market will begin on Wednesday, July 11.  The market will run through the end of September and will now take place each week on Wednesdays (versus on Fridays) from 3-7 p.m. in Wadsworth Park.

PLEASE SAVE THE DATE for this first market day; the Village is hosting a community night out event following the conclusion of the evening's market.  A movie screen will be brought to the park where the picture "Wonder" will be shown (don't worry, we will spray the park for mosquitoes the morning of...).  Make arrangements now to ensure you can enjoy a night out with your family, friends and neighbors in Wadsworth Park on July 11!
