Creekside groundbreaking celebrated; chair says park could be open by spring or summer 2026
Summary
Committee members celebrated the Creekside ribbon cutting and were told the project will take about 18 months; Chair Shafiq urged members to promote the park to the community ahead of a hoped-for spring (possibly summer 2026) opening.
Chair Shafiq and parks staff highlighted the Creekside ribbon cutting and the park’s proximity to City Hall, noting the site offers an amphitheater, water features and trail connections. Staff said the Creekside project is expected to run about an 18-month duration, and the chair urged committee members to make residents aware of upcoming amenities.
"That project is expected to be about an 18 month duration," Erica said; Chair Shafiq added the committee should "be ready in spring. Hopefully, no later than summer of 2026 to fully utilize this park." Committee members discussed informal volunteer and engagement opportunities tied to the new park and asked staff to consider periodic committee participation in community events.
Next steps: staff will continue project closeout activities and the committee will assist with outreach as the park moves toward construction completion.
