Summary

Staff reported stormwater control work at Grantham Park will require excavation, trail work and a temporary mid‑September to early‑October closure of parts of the park while parking and access are rebuilt.

Staff reported that a contractor will install stormwater controls and do trail excavation at Grantham Park starting this week; the work will include placing a construction fence to protect neighbors’ property and an anticipated mid‑September to early‑October partial closure to allow safe access while the parking lot and pond‑adjacent areas are reconstructed. The township will keep the public informed and expects the closure to last a few weeks while critical access and safety improvements are made.

Staff asked the board to expect further updates; the project is staged so the playground area closure will be limited to the portion directly affected by access work. The board and staff discussed outreach to regular park users to provide advance notice and signage once schedules are firmed.
