Simon Moon Park, 3044 E. 171st St., Westfield, is set to undergo a transformative expansion project that expands the current park and facilities for the community.
Expansion plans including a much-needed parking lot expansion, outdoor education classroom, fishing piers, boardwalks, updated playground, and a reengineered sledding hill.
Bids were recently opened at a public meeting and will be awarded to Norcon, Inc. with offices in Indianapolis, for approximately $6.8 million which was significantly under the $8.2 million engineering estimate.
The expansion project will be paid for by park impact fees, which are fees imposed upon developers when residential projects are built. There will be no taxpayer funds or bonds used for this project.
Willis
“We are thrilled to expand Simon Moon Park and provide our community with even more opportunities for outdoor recreation and social engagement,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “This project is a testament to our commitment to creating vibrant and inclusive spaces that fosters a sense of community and well-being.”
Construction is anticipated to begin in early April 2024. Keep an eye on City of Westfield social media channels for updates regarding park access during construction.
