Wildwood residents and visitors, please note that Lake Deaton Park will undergo a temporary closure starting Monday, Feb. 19. This closure is necessary to facilitate a significant improvement project aimed at enhancing the overall experience of the park.
Message from Wildwood Officials: Prioritizing Public Safety and Recreation Enhancement
Interim Parks and Recreation Director, Jason Wheeler, emphasizes that while the closure may inconvenience visitors temporarily, it is essential for ensuring public safety and creating a better recreational environment. Wildwood officials understand the popularity of Lake Deaton Park for activities such as boating, fishing, and relaxation, and are committed to providing an improved space for all to enjoy.
Project Overview: Upgrades to Boat Ramp, Fishing Pier, Pavement, and Signage
The improvement project encompasses several key areas, including upgrades to the boat ramp, fishing pier, pavement surfaces, and signage throughout the park. These enhancements will not only improve functionality but also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of Lake Deaton Park.
Anticipated Completion: Expected End Date and Potential Delays
Construction crews aim to complete the project by the end of April, barring any unforeseen delays. Wildwood officials will closely monitor progress to ensure minimal disruption to the timeline and keep the public informed of any changes.
