BLFDMP revitalization planned; HWA treatment to close park May 27 and Veteran's Bike Trail to reopen mid-July
Summary
The committee discussed BLFDMP revitalization, including tree removals, knotweed control, a proposed entrance path off Lakehill Rd. with about 300 feet of fence, and a scheduled HWA treatment on May 27 that will close the park; the Veteran's Bike Trail restoration is expected to finish and reopen mid-July.
Committee members reported plans to revitalize the Ballston Lake Fire Dept. Memorial Park (BLFDMP), including removal of dead and dying trees and upcoming invasive-knotweed work. The committee is examining a new entry path off Lakehill Rd. and a perimeter trail; a planned survey and demarcation will cover roughly 300 feet of new fence as a guideline into the park.
The HWA treatment of hemlock trees is scheduled for May 27, and the park will be closed at that time. Committee members discussed future additions such as a small playground and a volleyball court but noted those ideas are for the longer term. The mowing contract for BLFDMP was awarded to CMS Sealcoating & Landscaping, LLC.
Separately, members reported the CHP project on the Veteran's Bike Trail is nearly complete; restoration work is needed and the trail is expected to reopen in mid-July. Ballston Lake neighbors and the Rotary expressed interest in assisting restoration of Veteran's Park at the trail entrance on Main Street.
