Cerritos Regional Park to Receive Renovation Overhaul
The Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors has approved a contract that
will provide significant improvements and renovations at Cerritos
Regional Park, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today.
The project which is scheduled to begin on July 24, 2006, has been
split into two phases. Phase I will include the following major
refurbishments: renovation of 35 acres of turf, cobblestone
treatment on two deteriorated slopes, waterproofing of selected
exterior gymnasium walls, creation of new parking, installation of
new park lighting, and the relocation of trees. Phase II includes
the construction of an ADA accessible restroom, additional park
lighting, and other park improvements.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works will oversee the
project which has a total budget of $12,077,000. Public Works will
be working with Los Angeles Engineering, Inc., the firm that was
awarded the construction contract, to carry out the project, and the
department’s estimated date of completion is June 18, 2007.
“This project is about making a reinvestment in our community,” said
Supervisor Knabe. “These park improvements will not only increase
the quality of life for the residents of Cerritos, but also the
residents of the surrounding communities that utilize this park.”
The project will be phased to limit the impact on park use, and the
park will remain open during construction. Although park space will
be reduced, current County services and projects at the park will
not be negatively impacted.
