Dan notes this item in DeKalb Commissioner Rader’s most recent “Digest”…

The county has officially selected a contractor for construction to improve the day-use area of Mason Mill Park (30033). The construction costs, not to exceed $2.1 million, will be funded by the county parks bond.

The improvements include a full-scale play area, new dog park, relocated parking spaces, and improved storm water management. The day-use construction is the first phase of a $7 million master plan for the entire park….The plans reflect the consensus of county citizens at five public meetings from September 2008 to February 2010.

In conjunction with the day-use renovations, PATH has contracted for a path over the railroad tracks in Mason Mill Park in order to connect that park to Medlock Park.

See the Mason Mill Park Master Plan docs at the end of Mr. Rader’s full note.

The ground-breaking for these renovations will take place this Saturday June 19th at 11am at Mason Mill Park (1340 McConnell Drive, Decatur 30033-3539).
