Landscape: Wildflowers have been planted on the hill under the power lines in Kentmere and the area across the creek at the Winterthur Playground. Unfortunately, we have not had the results we were hoping for, and we will continue to work on these areas. Repairs to the Amphitheater sod have been made and a small retaining wall will be built at the bottom of the hill to help with drainage and erosion. We have been working on repairing the dead patches of grass around the circle along with plants that did not survive our harsh winter. Sod has been installed around the areas along the street around the Gramercy Playground where the city removed the trees. 2015 BUDGET PLANNING DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING IN LEGACY PARK?
