Heisler Park

Picnic Beach is ready for the 4th of July picnicers.

Rebuilt access ramp to the beach at Picnic Beach. Can you find the section of fake cliff?

The only remaining work at Heisler Park is the access ramp to Rockpile Beach.

Even the wedding photographers are back.

Picnic Beach Back To Normal

Access to Picnic Beach will get a lot easier tomorrow with the opening of Picnic Beach Park and the access ramp to the beach. At the bottom of the ramp is a new shower.

Formal ceremony will be at noon.

Picnic Beach Park Reopens On July 1st

On July 1, at 12:00 noon the city council will be rededicating Heisler Park for public use. The festivities will commence at Picnic Beach on the north end of the park. While most of the park will be reopened at this time, the stairs leading down to Rockpile Beach will not be completed until about July 12. Some areas of the park will be blocked off to protect the new landscaping during the Fourth of July.

Put July 1st On The Calendar. Heisler Park!

They're (the City) saying July 1st, come hell or high water, Heisler Park will reopen. Shown above is the picnic area at Rockpile Beach. The last of the grass was being laid down today and city workers were putting in fresh plants.

Heisler Park - Picnic Beach ALMOST Complete

The scene from the viewing stand at Picnic Beach. Just Grand.

From behind the viewing stand.

Still under construction is the new access ramp to Rockpile Beach. Heavy rains this winter, with accompanying mud, delayed this ramp's construction.

That sky-hook is back. It's the only way to get debris up from the beach.

Progress, progress.

Heisler Park Makeover Close To Completion

Heisler Park Just Getting Better And Better

Heisler Park Will Rival The Montage Grounds

Only kidding folks! In reality the park, when completed, will rival the grounds of the Montage Hotel. The new restrooms, both new and improved access to the beach and improved picnic grounds will look just as good as any park in the world. The city is hoping for a June completion. The only major construction to be completed is the new walk-way to Rockpile beach. What with the rains and mud this year we will be fortunate for a June re-opening.

Heisler Park Overhaul Continues

Now that the crew has solid ground under their feet they can proceed at full speed. Top is the new restroom / viewdeck at Heisler Park's Picnic Beach and above the crew is installing the new retaining walls.

They Jump For Joy Over The Great Weather

Out With The Old, In With The New

Removal of the old Rockpile steps is almost complete. Mean while the construction of the new Rockpile steps continue.

What A Fine Mess You Got Me Into

Boss: "So how do you plan on getting it back up on the bluff?"

Operator: "Oops."

The contractor layed down a temporary 3" thick concrete pad above the old access for a crane that lifted the machine down to it's current location and then will again use the crane to lift the machine back on the bluff once the old access steps are removed.
