The purpose of the Kingston Point Park Infrastructure Improvements Project is to enhance the park with improved amenities in order to allow everyone in our community to have increased opportunities for increased physical activity and quality of life. It is funded through a grant from the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. Construction elements of the project include the creation of a youth soccer field and parking lot improvements.

Project Status (Updated June 2020)
|
The City-Funder contract has been executed. The City has met internally to define the scope of the project, and held a pre-permit meeting with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). DEC conducted wetland delineation of the site. An RFP was issued in summer 2019 to identify a design and engineering consultant, and Brinnier and Larios of Kingston was selected. The City has finalized the consulting contract, created a conceptual plan, and hosted a public input meeting- Weaving the Waterfront. The plan for the project has been divided into two phases. Phase 1 includes the improvements north of Delaware Avenue. Alternate 1 Design was chosen. Final Design was developed and can be found below.
Designs are being submitted to NYSDEC, USACE, and NYSDOS for permits, with a plan to go to bid for construction likely in the Summer of 2020. Demolition is complete.
Phase 2 will include the improvements south of Delaware Avenue, to include the facilitation and formal creation of a wetland at the existing west end of the parking lot, and improvements to the east end of the parking lot. Phase 2 Design and Construction will follow Phase 1.
