Avon’s planned construction project on the east side of Harry A. Nottingham Park will break ground on Tuesday, April 1. The project will develop a new restroom facility, plaza, rain shelter and seating wall to support park uses across all seasons at the Old Town Hall site at 1 Lake Street.

The project includes site grading, electrical infrastructure updates, a modified parking layout and landscaping, which will support special events and prepare the area for future development. Construction is expected to start April 1 and last throughout the year. Work is being performed by Baker Constructors on behalf of the town.

The parking spots near Old Town Hall may be available for a short time, but will be unavailable for a majority of the project, and some on-street parking on Lake Street will also be unavailable. Upon completion of the project, the same number of parking spaces will exist.

Recreation trail closures near the site may take place periodically. The west parking lot of the Avon Recreation Center will be dedicated to Avon operations for the duration of the project. Reference Avon.org/Parking for other parking options throughout town.
