Excerpt: There will be new basketball hoops and backboards, new top coat and blacktop on the basketball court and three tennis courts, a concrete pad for bleachers, 130 linear feet of limestone pathway connecting the existing handicapped accessible path to the basketball and tennis facilities, as well as upgrades to fencing and lighting.
Workers on the project will also raise the elevation of the basketball courts to the level of the tennis courts and skate park.
"In this manner, we are anticipating that the flooding will not impact this area any longer," Nau said. "This year's flooding, due in part to the exceptionally high conditions of the Allegheny River, has never impacted the tennis courts over the 20 years of their existence."
Rehabilitation of the Beaty Park area began in 2008 with new restrooms and storage facility, handicapped parking, Americans with Disabilities Act-approved playground equipment, and the development of accessible pathways connecting the various park features. The second phase of the Beaty Improvement Project included the addition of the skate park last year.
