Abigail Eyer Park construction proceeding; playground nearly complete

City staff told the Angleton Better Living Corporation that work at Abigail Eyer Park is advancing: the building structure is being erected, the playground is roughly 95% complete, and the splash pad has most features installed with only final connections and one spray piece still pending.

Staff said the playground and splash-pad installations require final grading, turf installation, and overflow-drain testing. The sanitary sewer connection hinges on plan sets recently received by DL Meacham; staff expects a clearer schedule and an official opening date once the contractor has those documents and can schedule remaining work. Tandem Global’s donated garden area has already been planted, staff noted, and volunteer opportunities are planned for early November.

Board members asked for progress photos and clearer timelines; staff agreed to provide updated schedule information at the October meeting when change orders and final quotes can be presented.
