Demolition, site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a playground / park / athletic field; for the construction of a playground / park / athletic field; and for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

This funding will facilitate the design and permitting for Hamblin Pond Bathhouse and Site Improvements. This project's scope of work encompasses, but is not limited to, the following key objectives: The existing bathhouse will be demolished to make way for a new, larger facility. This new bathhouse will not only adhere to current building codes and accessibility standards but will also cater to the evolving recreational programming needs of the community. A brand-new pavilion will be constructed, featuring outdoor showers, picnic tables, benches, and landscaping, along with various associated amenities to enhance the park's overall appeal. The entire shoreline of the property will undergo restoration efforts to ensure its preservation and improvement. This includes enhancing the beach's elevation and width, providing an inviting and safe environment for visitors. The project will include reconfiguration and paving of the parking area with accessible walkways. Additionally, efforts will incorporate comprehensive stormwater control measures designed to address current beach erosion issues and prevent stormwater from entering the pond, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the park's natural environment.
