New Entrance to Knoll Park Proposed

Bayview at Fairhope Avenue.

 

Proposed design.

 

SOUTHEAST CORNER

The Fairhope Point Clear Community Foundation is proposing a $15K donation to construct a new  entrance to Knoll Park at the Bayview/Fairhope Avenue intersection.

The 12' X 26" stone/concrete gateway structure would be similar to the one at the southwest corner now. 

Total cost would be about $30K, balance to be made up by the city if the city council decides to proceed. 

The city has begun a renewed "beautification" effort at the park -- intended to establish a long leaf pine forest there eventually.

Location: Fairhope, AL 36532, USA

Perhaps this is the first step in establishing Knoll Park as the centerpiece of the city's beautification program.

Rather than another concrete structure, why not focus on the weeding, or clearing out the park so it would be enjoyable to walk thru or pass by?

I agree. The city can just take a small tractor with a bush hog and clear out the brush between the pine trees in 2 days. After that spray the grounds so the weeds won’t come back and then begin maintaining it. The City overthinks everything.

I love walking through there! There are so many plants you don't see anywhere else. I think spraying everything would kill the good plants along with the bad plants. It will require a little more finesse. I really like the idea of a matching entrance. The other one is very tasteful and will help draw more people up to this beautiful park.

Beautification should include maintenance of what is there now. City could use those workers that are standing around using their cell phones while other workers are replacing the flowers at the street corners. Knoll Park use to have some beautiful wildflowers on it. I thought the periodic burn was to kill weeds and make the habitat conducive to bringing back the wildflowers.
