This project is to bring the identity of the Sand Hill Park to the level that Maple Street Park has become. If there needs to be 2 separate pools, and offices, and Sand Hill Park is the place to do that. With the evacuation of the EPR staff from Maple Street Park office building, the EPR staff has inadequate staff office facilities and indoor recreation space. They have temporally moved back into 81 Main Street, but their main focus should be at Sand Hill Park. There are 3 phases to this project. First phase would be to create the main office building (5 offices and conference room) with a small (~2000 square foot) program space area. Second phase would be to create a gym building addition. Third phase would be to create a new enclosed pool and kiddy pool area, for year round swimming and pool time. Along with the third phase, the existing pool building and pool would be demolished and made way for a new parking lot.
