In the five year development plan for the south side of the park.
note: If we need to dig more than 2 feet to add a structure, we need to get DEP involved since the site is capped.
Tentatively scheduled for 2025 at a cost of $55,000.

Some shade structures include high tops around the poles to conceal raised concrete that may be necessary to avoid digging two feet.

We are unable to spray certain chemicals on the grounds. A clove oil solution could be used to knock back weeds in the area. (Organic does not mean non-toxic, training required)

Many of the weeds come from the neighboring property.

Would the community like to contribute to gardening with the support of the borough, even if the plants are non-edible?

The plants must be drought resistant perennials due to the conditions of the soil. Cannot use shrubs or trees. These plants are also much easier to maintain.
