Aging Downtown Park Getting A Makeover

Fairhope, Alabama 

 


Corner park.

BANCROFT CORNER PARK

The city council is set to hire Christian Preus Landscaping to redesign the aging pocket park at the Fairhope/Bancroft Avenue intersection, next to Julwins restaurant ($12,500).

Mayor Sullivan says she envisions it to be of similar design as the new Gaston Plaza nearby (also designed by Preus), "to keep a consistent look." 

No construction cost estimates yet; the park has been there since the 1980s. 

City council will have to approve the final design.

Does the city do anything in house? Seems kind of crazy to spend 12k for the design of a 2ft by 2ft park.
