The Mary Ann Banks Park improvement project has begun and the park in Romulus is now temporarily closed for construction.
For the safety of the community, access to the park will not be permitted during construction, officials cautioned.
Improvements to the park include an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible park with a paved sidewalk connecting the restroom facility to the pavilion. The new sidewalk will extend to an area of the playground where a new all ability whirl spinner play feature will be installed.
A paved walking path will be included around the park that will provide full access to all areas of the park, including the resurfaced ice rink that will also accommodate year-round activities such as pickleball.
This project is part of the DNR Recreation Passport Grant, officials said. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of July.
