Construction Information
Construction at Christopher Park, located next to the Diamond Heights Safeway Shopping Center, may begin as early as late September for playground replacement, restroom ADA improvements, and pathway renovation. The athletic field and access to adjoining Glen Canyon trails will remain open throughout the approx. 12-month construction, and may be accessed via the shopping center and the Amber Drive trailhead. The pathway entrances at Diamond Heights Boulevard and Duncan Street will be closed during construction. A footpath connecting the shopping center with the athletic field and the park clubhouse will be maintained. Onsite preschools and the Diamond Heights Shopping Center establishments will remain open, and minimal parking impacts are anticipated. The tennis court and restrooms will be closed during construction, and no court upgrades are planned. Portable potties will be installed. Several trees will be removed, namely along the pathways and existing
playground.
The Where in the World is Christopher Park? Festival will return once the new playground is open.
