Sylvester Park to be closed Sept. 19 to 29 for turfgrass work

Sylvester Park will be closed for 10 days – from Tuesday, September 19 to Friday, September 29 -- for turfgrass renovation.

Work will include aerating and seeding the grass as well as “topdressing” with compost to improve the soil the grass grows in.

People are asked to avoid entering the park during the closure to help ensure that the grass seed germinates properly. The project is designed to help ensure an attractive and healthy lawn will be in place throughout the park for everyone to enjoy.

The work has been scheduled to occur following the park’s busy summer season.
