We owe a big thank you to all park visitors who have tolerated the construction, accommodated pathway closures, and patiently awaited the lawn opening. Moving forward, the new irrigation system should improve the lawn's drainage and allow for more lawn open days throughout the summer. Hopefully, it was worth the wait.

I kind of wanted to run across the grass yelling THE LAWN IS OPEN! THE LAWN IS OPEN! a la the new phonebook's here.... but I was at work. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLauren: I think the lawn opening *week* calls for that kind of exuberance. You could give it a try today...
