After at least 2 years worth of work it appears that the renos are completed at Central Memorial Park.
They will be having a grand re-opening on Friday, May 14th starting at 5pm.

I'm hoping to go down either Friday evening or Saturday (weather permitting) to check out the new landscaping and parkspace.
Some highlights of the renovated park:
-An amazing new year-round restaurant called Boxwood - where you can find everything from snacks to go to fine dining morning noon, night and weekends in this glorious park setting.
