FERNDALE Park improvements at Wanda and Geary parks will be scaled back as they move forward later this year.
The City Council received a presentation about the park improvements at its Feb. 8 meeting, where Parks and Recreation Director LaReina Wheeler detailed how both projects will be reduced in scale.
Wanda Park currently lacks any paths. The project was scheduled to significantly increase accessible walkways through the park. With the updated scope, a planned walkway in the eastern portion of the park was reduced to one path that leads to a new pavilion. The original scope of the park had 1,180 linear feet of new paths; the reduced one contains 450 linear feet.
