🚧 Construction Update: June
Construction is advancing at Mulock Park, building on the earth moving and underground work in May.
Here’s what’s happening on the site:
Construction of the Mulock Drive Parking Lot and the driveway to Mulock House is underway and will continue throughout the summer.
Construction of buried electrical duct banks. You may have seen the large concrete chambers at the west end of the park. These will be buried and connected by underground conduits to distribute electricity throughout the park.
Installation of new storm drains, sanitary sewers, and watermains around Mulock House. Did you know: Mulock Park is carefully designed so that water runoff infiltrates into the ground, and goes back into the earth instead of being lost in storm drains.
In the background, contractors have been invited to submit proposals for construction of the off-site parking lot on the Hydro Corridor north of the park. This important facility will provide more than 200 more spaces for Mulock Park. Construction is expected to take place later this year.
Some people have been asking what will happen in the former Jim Bond Park. In addition to a spectacular Natural Discovery Playscape, this area will include the new Maintenance Building, and the main watermains and electrical services for the park. The tree fencing you may see in this park is important to make sure that the beautiful, mature trees are protected from movement within the park during construction.
