WILMINGTON, MA — Below are two photos recently take at the Yentile Farm Park during its third month of construction. The photos include the foundation work for the Pavilion, Concession and Playground area, plus the start of the subgrade infilling for the turf field.
According to the town, the 9-acre park promises to be a destination for all ages and interests. The facility will include a multi-purpose artificial turf field and combined basketball/street hockey courts. It will have walking paths, an event green for open recreation and large community activities, and game tables for passive recreational use. In the heart of the site will be a signature playground for multiple ages, restrooms and concessions, and a picnic pavilion that provides shade while enjoying a meal or snack. The site will include 109 parking spaces to accommodate visitors throughout the season.
Ground broke on the project in late March. The majority of the construction is expected to be complete by November. Some finish landscaping work may need to occur in Spring 2017 depending on weather.
