]]> Decking at Celebration Park Will Be Under Construction October 28, 2024, to February 2025 https://www.canyoncounty.id.gov/decking-at-celebration-park-will-be-under-construction-october-28-2024-to-february-2025/ Tue, 22 Oct 2024 14:30:10 +0000 https://www.canyoncounty.id.gov/?p=51966 MELBA, ID – Starting October 28, 2024, construction crews will be replacing and improving the boardwalk area just north of Celebration Park’s main parking lot. Construction is expected to last until about February 2025. During this time, the atlatl range and nearby boardwalks will be closed to visitors. A temporary atlatl range will be available for school field trip programs scheduled through Canyon County Parks (more information for teachers below). Sections of the parking lot will be closed to allow construction crews to complete their work.

We ask the public for their patience and cooperation while construction is underway. Visitors should be prepared to move their vehicles if requested to do so by park staff. These improvements will provide updated infrastructure, new ADA accessibility, and promote user activities at Celebration Park. It has been over 30 years since this decking project has seen a major improvement like this and we are excited for this major improvement.

“For decades this boardwalk has functioned as the outdoor classroom space and ‘hallways’ for a variety of educational programs and activities, including the popular atlatl range. It has served masses of traditional students and daily visitors in its time, and it is overdue for an upgrade,” said Parks Director Nicki Schwend. “The new boardwalk is going to be an improved, ADA-accessible design that will help us better meet the needs of all students and visitors. We’re excited for this project and for all the continued improvements happening at Celebration Park.”

For teachers: We do not anticipate the need to cancel or reschedule field trip programs during this construction. However, Parks staff will contact teachers with affected bookings to communicate any modifications in programming, such as meeting locations, bus parking, or use of a temporary atlatl range on site.

For questions about this project or for construction updates, please contact Canyon County Parks at 208-454-6884, or call the Celebration Park visitor center at 208-455-6022.
