When the city of Canal Winchester purchased land along Lithopolis-Winchester Road in 2017 to build a 90-acre multipurpose park, the plan was to have playable sports fields by the spring of 2020.
Three years later, work on what’s expected to be a three-phase project costing upward of $6 million has been slow as the city awaits approval and receipt of state and federal grants.
But Mayor Mike Ebert assures residents they will see progress on McGill Park by the end of this year.
“They are going to see a big difference,” he said.
Much of what’s planned for the estimated $2.2 million first phase of the project, including construction of a main access drive, four soccer fields, a three-season shelter house and a natural playground area, should be completed by the end of this year, Ebert said.
