ADRIAN — With it almost being summertime — the official first day of summer arriving Thursday, June 20 — lots of work is taking place throughout Adrian’s system of parks.
One of the most recent and notable upgrades within the Adrian parks was construction work on the boardwalk at Trestle Park , which connects the north and south tower pavilions. Maintenance work on the boardwalk started June 3 and with it came closures and detours to the walking trails.
Jeremiah Davies, director of Adrian’s Parks and Recreation Department , said June 7, work on the boardwalk was essentially completed, and that it would reopen to the public June 10. The restored boardwalk has been in operation for almost one week now.
In construction terms, the city replaced what it called an “aged” and “mushy” wooden boardwalk that connects the towers at Trestle Park, 302 Hunt St., with a new stamp pattern concrete. This concrete, Davies said, resembles wood. When construction was nearing completion, crews washed off the concrete and applied a sealant for added protection.
