John Hinkel Park Renovation Project

John Hinkel Park was designated as a historic landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in April 2001.  Historic elements include the stone masonry around the amphitheater area, fireplace, and seating areas.

The playground area which was located on the hillside of the park has deteriorated and is inaccessible by today’s accessibility standards.  This project relocated a new playground to the lower amphitheater area, includes a new picnic area, and repairs and restores a portion of the historic masonry work around the site and the amphitheater area, including various improvements to the site in conformance with current ADA standards.

Construction has been completed and park is open for public use.
