 Friends of Underwood Hills Park's Molly Ryan has been hard at work getting everything organized for repairs after a large tree fell through the middle of the main play structure, including pressing for the safety barrier whilst we await completion (whereas the standing parts of it were determined to be largely undamaged, there's no safe way to allow access but prevent little ones heading over the abyss in the middle left by the tree).
The contractor has inspected to determine what repairs are needed and we're just awaiting the go-ahead on that. At this point no costings have been received and it is unknown if the community will need to contribute. If extra funds are needed UHNA will organize a fundraiser via Friends of Underwood Hills Park-Park Pride 501c3 which is tax deductible and ensures the funds can only be spent on the Park. If you have questions or would like to help out please contact Molly; [email protected] For folk that wish to donate towards the park there is a button set up at https://www.underwoodhills.org/uh-park.html The main 2 topics on which neighborhood input is needed- 1. The beltline transit survey that is due by Dec 1st. In NW Alignment 1, Underwood Hills is included. Here is the link to the survey https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/4d3b1962c04c4d62947f63a0a8f3630b 2.
