Pics of the entire construction area (note bridge in background)

So, you can not get over that way to see the progress? Here you go:

Here are pics of the wall being built in the park. The white things being attached to the wall are a mold for concrete. They will create a limestone look on the outer surface of the wall in the large dog park. That was something the City of Milton asked for and Alliant & ATC agreed to do.

If you have the chance...

drive out by the park and see the large retaining wall that is in the process of being constructed. It will have a stamped impression and color resembling a local limestone. The wall will contain the material used to build up the power sub-station and direct water back to a pre-filter. This will help keep sediment out of the pond. It will also be the wall the fence will be re-attached to when they are done. ATC will be doing some landscaping to help the wall blend in a bit more after it is complete. The tunnel under the road will be replaced with a much larger one and there will be a better cover/grate to keep dogs from entering (or for some...exiting) the park.

*****Now is a great time to go out to Crossridge Park (other side of Milton from Dog Park) located off east of Parkview Dr., north of Townline Rd., and west of Hwy26 for a map click here and see the native wild flowers in bloom. The members of this parks committee have worked hard to restore the native grasses and flowers in and around the paved walking trails. Stay tuned for the date of the seed pick this fall. Some will be used to establish areas in/near the dog park.

In case you don't have the chance, here is what you are missing:

This is a work in progess.

Bear with me as I work on adding business web page links. I am trying to make sure I get everyone that has helped the park out by donation or otherwise.
