Those Beautiful Wooden Stakes

Why are they underneath the Millennium Bridge?  They are the beginning of what will become a really cool new art piece by Australian artist Konstantin Kondimopoulos. Once completed, the piece will essentially be a giant red field of plastic grass that sways when the wind blows and reflects the echo of the trains as they couple.

Thanks to the Riverfront Park Community Foundation this exciting addition to the Riverfront Park Plaza will become a reality in just a few short weeks.

Railyard Dog Park Update:

As of June 21st, the general excavation of the site and the deep caisson supports for the light poles have been completed. The percolation trenches will be excavated and completed by Thursday, June 24th.  Additionally, the import of clean dirt and the sand/gravel play area will be completed next week in conjunction with the irrigation system. The week of July 5th Colorado Hardscapes will be forming and pouring the concrete curbs throughout the site which defines the dog park shape and function.

Although progress is being made, the Railyard Dog Park still needs your support.  Please visit http://www.railyarddogs.org to donate today!

It’s begun!

Early construction activities at Railyard Dogs Dog Park are underway.  Belair Excavation began the soil removal of the park yesterday, and will take a few days.  Once we are at the low level of the soil removal, Encore Electric will begin to distribute the electrical service and the concrete support bases for the light poles will be installed (there are seven of them).  Then, Belair Excavation will begin to bring the soil elevation back up to grade.  The mix of new soil will be common fill for outside the dog play area and the dog play area will be a sand/light gravel mix.  In the later part of this month irrigation and concrete curbs, edging and supports will be installed.

We are still fund raising for Railyard Dogs so please visit http://www.RailyardDogs.org to help contribute to this exciting addition to Riverfront Park!
