City of San Carlos officials announced construction has begun on the Harrington Park refresh, which will add a plaza, public restrooms, seating, a rain garden and trees. Work is scheduled weekdays 8 a.m.–5 p.m., and completion is expected in early 2027.

Lisa Porras, Planning Manager for the City of San Carlos Community Development Department, announced that construction has begun on the Harrington Park refresh.

"Today marks the first day of construction for the Harrington Park refresh," Porras said, describing the project as a transformation of the park into "a vibrant people-centered destination featuring a plaza, public restrooms, public seating for relaxation and dining, and a rain garden and grove of trees."
