For the first time in years, CiCo Park won’t be hopping with ballgames this spring and summer, as the park undergoes a major renovation.
The project is one of the final pieces of the 2017 voter approved quality of life sales tax initiative that also saw the construction of recreation centers at Anthony and Eisenhower Middle Schools, in addition to $3 million in trail improvements.
Construction began in December with removal of the ball fields and tennis courts. Aaron Stewart, director of Manhattan Parks & Recreation, said he too got emotional when the iconic colorful scorers boxes came down.
