We raised enough funds to complete Phase 1 and completed construction of both play areas in August 2010.  Following construction, the Friends of Cove Park hosted a community Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and BBQ with family, friends and neighbors.  It was a huge success!  Over 300 people attended the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and thousands of laughs and smiles shared by all.  Thank you to Odin & Maisey for taking photos below and several more.  Click on their name to view and order prints!

Plans for Phase 2 are being compiled this fall.  We are working with a couple landscapers (professional and recreational) to complete a cohesive design to incorporate the engraved bricks, seating (benches and tables), shade and landscaping.  We are tentatively planning to place 2 benches around the perimeter of the 2-5 structure, 2 benches around the perimeter of the 5-12 structure and picnic tables in between the two play areas - however these benches and tables will be stored for the winter until plans are finalized. 

Playground borders were delivered this week.  The City of Beverly will be down at the park over the next couple of weeks to install around the perimeter of the mulched area.  These borders should assist in keeping the mulch in the play areas and clean up the line between mulch and what will eventually be grass.  The City will also install 2 backless benches next to the basketball court.

As more information becomes available, we will update this site.
