Project Overview

The large oak tree in Mushroom Park must be removed due to decline and safety concerns. The tree will be reused on site to create a nature play area, similar to the Great Oak Nature Playground near Barton Dam (pictured below).

  • Tree removal will take place Tuesday, Dec. 23.
  • Wood will remain on site temporarily—please stay off the tree and stockpiled materials.
  • Playground construction completion in Spring 2026.
