Irrigation system

Spoke to Commissioner Morris on Friday March 15th. He confirmed that workers in the park yesterday were installing an irrigation system throughout the whole park. They will also be spreading hydro-seed (grass) shortly as well. 

2013 GOOD NEWS!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and also hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

I wanted to give everyone some good news to start the year. Those of you whom have small children should be most excited...

I have been working on this for a very long time now- about 8 years. Back in April I was able to get Brookhaven Town to allocate $65,000 to Dorchester Park.

We have since gotten a new wooden fence and concrete entrances/ exits. Come the spring or if weather permits earlier, we will be getting a new playground for the children in our community. The town does have the playground in-hand and just waiting to install. The old playground will be totally removed prior to the install.

As soon as I know when work is to begin I will update all again...

Again, I hope this makes you and your children all very happy and I hope it doesn't get destroyed.

Please continue to say something if you see something and to be alert. If you don't report it- it didn't happen...

Thank you all for your support.

Happy 2013!

NEW FENCE ON MORRIS AVE. SIDE OF PARK

We are also getting a new wooden post fence on the Morris Ave. side of Dorchester Park. This was not something I asked for, but what the Commissioner put in motion. I didn't see the need for it, but, he did it anyway.  I don't believe that side (Morris Ave.) will be gated with the wooden fence posts they are using. The Sycamore Ave. chain-link fencing is not being removed and gates there will remain (at least that is the busier side).

NEW WALKWAYS

As many of you will see today upon driving past Dorchester Park, new walkways are being installed at all four (4) entrances/exit. It already looks so much better! I have been working on getting them for three (3) years now and finally....!
I am trying to get the track repaved or at least repaired. I will keep you posted.

Thank you,

Leaf bags pick-up

62 bags of leaves and garbage from last weeks clean-up has just been picked up!

Verizon Hole on Morris Ave.

The gapping/ dangerous hole made by Verizon a long time ago is now fixed and concreted. The orange mesh still around it as it sets. I am sure they will be back to remove it. Thanks to a fellow NW member for the phone calls to Verizon as I am sure it helped to move things along.
